I was reading Xman’s post and I was wondering if more people do a thru-hike between high school and college or after college. I’m trying to figure out when it would be best for me to go seeing as I can’t do it while I’m still in high school and I don’t want to wait too much longer (i.e. mid-life crisis or retirement). Also another question I have is about the advantages of which direction you go in and when you would start. Thanks.
