I hear ya.....not sure what is the start and what is the end....but I have read two different books written from folks that have hiked the whole trail in one season. And from what I gather, most start here in GA in the spring when it still froze over in Maine and try to to get to Mt Katahdin in October before it freezes again. I'm sure its been walked both ways.
Anyway, I wanted to read the book The Orient Express which was about a legally blind man and his seeing eye dog Orient that made the journey. But, before I read that, I thought it best to read a book from someone who wasn't blind to get a better understanding of what all is involved in the through hike. And I'm glad I read that one 1st as it made the Orient Express journey that much more miraculous.
Yeah....we were thinking trout no doubt!!!
