I would die for the chance to thru hike any of the 3 long trails(PCT, CDT, or AT) but I doubt it will ever happen. I should have done it in my college years if I was going to. A job, mortgage, and a wife are the main obstacles now. However I have revised my ambitions and hope to thru hike the Pinhoti this winter. It's something anyway. I may also eventually complete a section hike of the complete AT. I will have to start going more than once a year though.

I would love to thru hike the AT but like most everyone else It just isn't possible right now because of the work thing,however I am on the 20 year plan to section hike it
Maybe one day if my health holds up I am planning on doing a thru when I retire.I have met lot's of retired folks attempting thru's on some of my section hikes.
