This Summer… Appalacian Trail.

I just discovered how I would like to spend my week-long vacation this summer.

I am going to hike the Appalacian Trail.  More specifically, I am going to attempt to hike from Pawling, New York (accesable by Fung-Wah to Grand Central Station, then the Metro-North Rail Line of the MTA) to Great Barrington, Massachusetts (from where I can take a bus back into Boston’s South Station).  In all, by road, the hike is 58.3 miles.  I would expect the trail to be a bit longer, though not by much.

My first step, I have decided, is to join the Boston chapter of The Appalacian Mountain Club.  $25 for students.  Not too shabby.  I imagine that getting some advice on this trip would be a good idea.

In all, a very doable trip, I think.

More info to come.
