    OK, I gotta ask. How do you do it? I mean, even as a business owner myself, I can take maybe 2-3 weeks off without things falling apart. Have you sworn a vow of poverty? I would love to do a half-year hike.

    Andrew,

    Good luck and Godspeed!
    I really enjoyed reading your last hike. It motivated me to get out
    and do some hiking here in the Blueridge.
    Have a wonderful journey.

    I'll be keeping an eye on your progress. Would be great to get out and enjoy the mountains and wilderness!

    oh, watch out for snipe. They are nasty this time of year.

    Actually, I will be in Northern California in June myself!(That place I used to call home) and in Tahoe around the time you may be in the "Wilderness".

    Maybe there is a meeting in there somewhere!

    I'l be keeping an eye on the site anyway, and have a great "walk"!

    The hike itself will cost USD$3-4,000, to cover food and hotel expenses. I don't own a house or a car, so my off-trail expenses will be nil. I spent two years before I hiked the AT two years ago getting myself entirely out of debt. I just spent two years saving up enough to hike the PCT this year, and the CDT next year. I live to hike. I have to keep myself from buying too many kilts in the off-season so I can afford to hike!

    Andrew.
