Hi Everyone!

[Kenser321]

Hello everyone,

My name is Tom. I enjoy hiking, camping, shooting, fishing, survivalism, and geocaching. I am currently running a new blog. The goal is to gather the 20k my soon to be wife told me I needed if I plan on thru hiking the Appalachian Trail. Probably not going to happen until I retire in 40+ years from now. Anyhow gonna dive into the forums here and see what you are all about.

Hello Kenser321, welcome to the forums. Take your time. I plan to hike the trail when I retire also. Only if retirement would come a little early.

Welcome to the forums Kenser321. Don't wait until retirement to start. Do it in sections now. As a retiree, I find I have less time now for fun and games than when I was working.

Howdy!

I agree with not waiting. And 20K seems like a lot.

I understand that, that trail runs close to the Worthington State Forrest campground in the Del Water Gap area. Site #16 is my favorite. Good luck & have fun.

Welcome to the site. Had a buddy that thru-hiked. He spent about 4-5k. Wont need 20k unless you stay in towns almost every night.
