SUMMARY:AT Section Hike - Root\, Rock\, Rut\, Puddle training and trip
DESCRIPTION:Planning on doing a section of the AT later this summer and looking for training and trip partner(s). Last August I hiked up Pleasant Pond Mountain east of Caratunk and spent the night. Over the next 24hrs\, I met +20 AT thru hikers (almost all traveling alone/ single) and a few section hikers that were typically paired up. This trip invigorated me to do more.  Lesson learned from trip. Takes many days hiking and carrying a backpack to get your body ready for this multiday assault on it\, train with the equipment you plan to use is vital\,\, skimp down on the weight\,\, only bring what you need… prefer to do it with someone else. \nLooking for people interested in training over the next (8) weeks and doing a section or two of AT in late August /September.  I have some work flexibility and can plan for blue bird days\, nights\, and trying to do training midweek and weekends \n\nDay hikes or overnights to White Mountain. Living in Portland area makes this < 2 hr drive.\nWeek day hikes after work at Bradbury Mountain. Overnights to check equipment.\nDay hikes and overnights to Carrabasset Valley. Have condo for base camp if needed.\n\nIf you are interested. Me\, I a little fat\, slow and old.. within 20lbs of high school weight\, but have 10 lbs less muscle mass. Moderate pace is by best. 66 going on 26\,\, sometimes. \n  \nMatt K \nTwo zero seven 482 – nine five seven one.
