My cousin and I plan on hiking the famous (or rather infamous) Appalachian Trail next year. We are both very fit but could always use some training. We are located in South Florida and we need info on trails we could hike to prepare for the AT. Also we need a typical gear list from someone who has hiked the AT. Plus info like average distance between shelters and towns, how much food to pack at one time, Etc. Please give as much info and detail as possible!!!!
