After hours and hours of putting maps together, adding mileages and driving myself delerious, the AT plan is set. Remember this is only the itinerary and WILL change as I move down the eastern spine. My personal itinerary has all road crossings and crew access points noted, so have no fear, this is only the basic “start and finish points” listed. Enjoy the reading. The plan is to have a tracking device to see where I am at all times. It is going to happen. Backcountry.com is working on this ultimate adventure.

Days 7, 8 and 9 will be your WORST. These sections are the toughest sections along the entire trail. I’ll be there to help!
I’ll be keeping track and plan to be there to witness your historic finish!
You rock Karl!!!
Karl, looking good. Any word on the camper?
I’ll be honored to run with you through all of NC and further if possible.
I wrote about your attempt today for a local magazine at which I’m the online Editor. http://www.chfmag.com
Amazing effort and I’m looking forward to seeing you accomplish it.

Karl,
Unbelievable! I cannot wait to watch and see you take on this difficult task head on.
With your experience, I think you have a great shot!

hi karl
congrats on the accomplishment of creating your itinerary! it took me a while to hash out my washington state pct 2009 itninerary and that’s only 500 miles with a lot less road crossings to chose from than the at. it must have taken you forever!
anyhow good luck with your preperations and who knows maybe i could make it out there to run with you for a few days. ever since i thru-hiked the at in 1999(southbound) i wanted to go for a trail record. next year’s run on the pct will be my first run of that kind and so it would be nice to help you while at the same time learn a little.
have fun!
ps you got your AR odds ready yet? there’s been a bit of talk on ajw’s blog
have fun on days 7,8 and 9 thats a pretty rough section. The trail between the top of Twin to the top of Lafayette is super rocky with constant up’s and down’s but at least there is a hut that sells leftover pancakes for $2 all you can eat.
