I wish. Wife will hike all day but she's not camping at the end. I'm gonna take the 5yo on her first backpacking trip this fall, but this is a yearly section hike with one of my undergrad buddies. We've had to take a couple of years off because of kids and are getting back into it. Started at Springer a little over a decade ago and working our way north. The plan is to have the section hike completed by the time we retire and then thru hike it as our retirement present.

haha, makes more sense, I was going to be super impressed if your fam could join and put up 21 miles/day, that's still awesome though, i've always wanted to do something like that (section hiking it year by year and eventually doing entire thing), kinda eyeing the NC mountains-to-sea trail as another potential challenge in the next few years too
 
going camping next weekend for the first time in years

defs the biggest weakness of living in Chicago


at least we still have the beaches

Sorry, I was unclear. No, my buddy and I are gonna do the thru hike as he will retire at the same time as me. The wife will probably meet up for sections and trail towns from time to time but I'm sure she'll be fine with 4-5 months off from me at that point in our lives.
 
rode my bike yesterday for the first time in months

god i missed that

I dunno man. I've seen The Fugitive plenty and there seems to be some nice mountainous terrain outside the city.
 
is there a better channel-flip-oh-i-guess-ill-watch-this-again film than The Fugitive

MST seems cool through the mountains but would probably start to lose its luster around Greensboro.

The story about the Glee actress who drowned while boating with her 4 year old really fucked me up. He told the police “mommy jumped in the water and didn’t come back up”
