I have decided to use the trail name that Coltyn came up for me. I have tried it on myself multiple times and it sounds good. It is Dusty Papa. Papa because I have such great grandchildren. Dusty, who is the lead airplane in the Disney movie Planes, because I am a pilot. So, when talking about my great adventure of hiking the AT, just call me Dusty, or for my great kids Papa.
I have come up with the title for my posts. I plan to do a post every day. Here it is:
Day of week, date, name of location, day on the trail, miles hiked for day, number of miles hiked/number of miles to go, , average day speed. Anything else needed, like number of rain days?:-). Here is an example:
Friday, Feb. 26, Sherman Water Falls, 10 days, 160 m gone/2,025 m to go, 15 miles, 16 mpd.
That gives a good summary. The contents will give more details, experiences, troubles, and my feelings. I do not yet know how often I will be able to post to the internet, but I am guessing at least weekly.
