As someone who has thru-hiked the big three, his story was a little off-putting.
Some incorrect statements about trail names and assumptions.
I met a woman while on trail (PCT) who could only section hike. Walking for a short period each time, connecting from where she stopped last.
It'd taken her 17 years to get out of California on trail. A 100 miles of walking a year. Her dedication was remarkable.

- thehappypm 3y agoHi Lunchbox! I agree completely I was off-put. I also was a little surprised by the reference to blue-blazing, I always thought it meant taking a side tour that bypasses the AT, technically meaning you skipped part of it (which some folks are cool with, others not, Hike Your Hike!).
