Raleigh North Carolina and surrounding areas

You ever do any of the long trails. I plan on doing the AT for my 40th. Been wanting to since I was in the 7th grade. I'm a ground dweller though.

 

I was just at ya because you also own a jeep

 

Hahaha I know man. I was just robbing you back

 

I haven’t done anything as long as the AT. I’ve done several 50 mile trips. Several 8-14 day trips.

Depends on what you consider long. The AT is a beast at points. I did 10 miles on it in January this year. Started at the Nantahala Gorge and climbed out. It was brutal

 

Got ya. I've done that hike in the past and it is pretty tough. I have done several over 100 mile hikes over 10 day periods. I really like hiking the Linville Gorge area some of those hikes are difficult to say the least. Long to me is the whole AT, PCT, or CDT or section hikes. Also John Muir trail I'd really like to do one day. There is one that covers the Canadian border that is a long trail forget the name but it looks brutal just because of weather goes around the Great Lakes. We take our Scouts every yr and do the 4 state challenge along the AT in a 24 hr period that is a really brutal hike over 40 miles. We have a "chase" vehicle for drop outs and as support. We just hike with food and water and emergency gear. Really fun hike though.

 

Dayum well you’ve been after it for a while! I’d love to hit the whole AT by 40. I’d love to spend 6 months on trail

 

I am doing it in 3 avg around 27 mi a day. Yeah I am only a few yrs away from 40 and yeah I have been backpacking for roughly 25 yrs. Started when I was a scout and continue to this day.

 

Bunch of nerds

 

Ahhhhhh that’s the big difference. I’m capping myself at about 12-14 per day. I don’t have the knees to go much further than that.

 

That's what she said

 

For my NC people.. Trying to find 2012-2015 Supercharged w/ 6sp, or a 99-04 SC'd and long traveled.

Price has plenty of wiggle room, especially if the right trade comes about.
Trying to stay in a Tacoma preferably, but would entertain a manual 4 door Jeep.

 

There is a guy in Charlotte that was/is selling his but he's asking 50g. Not a manual but it checks all your other boxes. You're going to have a hard time trying to find those trucks already done. Just find one that you like and SC it yourself.

 

Hahahaha touché my friend

 

Looks like progress!

 

Erin kicked you out?

 

Umm, no. Especially if it was acquired as a gift.

 

I have aches and pains as well I just push right on through it. Having a frequent flier plan with the steroid injection man doesn't hurt either! Those have saved me or I'd be in a lot worse shape than I am.

 

Nice! too bad they mounted the front license plate holder now there will be holes in the bumper like mine . I was going to say looks tippy with the jack just in the middle like that but then noticed the feet of the jack stands
