More information than you need (or want)
Well, the wrap-up is underway. We're back home and taking stock of our situation... and remembering a lot about the trail. Here's a pile of info for those who are so inclined:
We were on trail for 191 days, from March 3 through September 9.
We took 34 Zero days (no hiking).
Our average daily mileage for all days (including zeros) was 11.4.
Average miles excluding zeros was 13.9.
We slackpacked 10 times.
Here's a graph of our mileage by day. Note the randomness...
And a bar graph of days/miles. Kind of bell-curvey, except for the zeros.
Here's a link to our daily 'itinerary'. I would recommend strongly against using this to plan anything, as our trip was quite haphazard. I suspect it could be useful in determining possible mileages through different areas or whatever. But seriously, hike your own hike.
If there are any other questions answered or informational tidbits you're looking for, comment away.

OK,
Now you're talking my language. Datamining is my life. Taking volumes of unorganized data and turning it into meaningful information, displayed in a dashboard view as Key Performance Indicators ..........YES, YES, YES !!!!!!!!
Have you considered engineering as a career :o)
Love,
Uncle Joe
Well, there's Uncle Joe the engineer, and then there's Aunt Mary, the literature professor. I think the quality of the writing is outstanding. The descriptions of the people and the landscape and the daily challenges -- they made me feel that I was almost there. And that last photo of sunrise over the pond! Beautiful! You get an A+ ! Love from Aunt Mary
Tremendous achievement. I can't wait for all this to be published.
Wow, wee, wow wow wow!
Great to be home, and reflect on all that has happened in the last 7 months or so. A life experience that you can't get anywhere else, and that so few have had.
Congratulations!
Vince and Mary, Atlanta
