Appalachian Trail Thru-hike Planner

Each year, almost 2,000 men, women, and occasionally children set out to hike the 2,175 miles of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine (or vice versa). Good preparation is often the key to whether they become part of the 20-25 who make it. For this adventure of a lifetime, the Thru-Hike Planner will help you chart a course, work out a budget, choose gear, plan meals, get in shape, and otherwise inspire. It comes with homework: charts and worksheets and checklists and forms, all designed to be ripped out and spread over the kitchen table and then stuck in your pack.Formerly the popular Appalachian Trail Workbook for Planning Thru-hikes, which went through six revisions between 1992 and 2003, this new edition underwent a total make-over in 2005, bringing together the up-to-date advice of recent hikers with the mileages and trends seen by the trail's managers.Lauterborn, David is the author of 'Appalachian Trail Thru-hike Planner ' with ISBN 9781889386454 and ISBN 1889386456.
