Cambios

I know, sooner or later someone will try to Thru-Hike the trail in one season and may even succeed if he is lucky with the weather. But attempting this seems foolish to me. You need to rush and take less attractive short cuts. You can’t slow down to fully appreciate the land and to share relaxing time with the people along the route. And more importantly: someone who tries to Thru-Hike the GPT in one season needs to take unreasonable risks by throwing yourself himself in torrential rivers and getting high up when where blizzards can kill you. And remember, when you walk on this trail you are the guest on the land of someone else. Just the idea of making a race in the backyard of someone else who does not even know feels wrong for me.
