The ES100 route was a lot of fun! Other than my second full day, it worked out nicely for camping at campgrounds or established sites. I'd highly recommend a late summer/fall hike to take advantage of the race trail maintenance.

I'm mentally game planning what I'd like to do this year. The PA Wilder Trail might be doable (Chuck Keiper-Donut Hole-Bucktail Path) but we will see.

I'm still very, very slowly recovering from an injury, but depending on that I'm also considering the entire DHT & BT (I've done the CKT enough) in late May / early June. When are you thinking of doing that?

It's really just more of an idea at this point. Generally I do my longer hikes in early October since the crowds are dying down and I usually have a few Mondays off in a row built into my schedule. Thus I can get 11 days off work with only 4 vacation days. The other plus...snakes are just about gone. Lol
