AT in '09

I started thinking about doing the Appalachian Trail again. My dream would be to do the Appalachian Trail in '09, Pacific Crest Trail in '10, and the Continental Divide Trail in '11. But I have to plan one at a time due to the costs and planning that go into something like this. In case you have never heard of the Appalachian Trail it is a hiking trail that goes from Georgia all the way to Maine which turns out to be ~2100 miles. I am estimating it would take me 6 months to thru-hike the whole trail and less than $5000 to cover the costs of food, replacement equipment, post cards, and the rare motel stay. I will keep updating on this.
