Description

After last years 100 Mile Wilderness trek I really got a taste for longer trips. So for 2008 I was considering another 100 mile section of the AT but I am thinking about the Long Trail. I think I can probably complete it in two years so it would give me a sense of completing a long trail. At 100-150 miles a year the AT will take me about 20 years.
I want to travel light and fast on this trip since I am hoping to complete the trail in about 20 days over a 2 year period, 10 days each year.

Anyone interested? The dates are just a guess right now and are not set in stone. Just something to get me motivated and a training goal. This year on the 100 Mile I was going about 15-20 miles per day, for this trip I want to do at least that, so I am going to actually train for this one. And I plan on traveling really light.

Any suggestions or tips from people that have done this trail would be appreciated.
