Pat, that’s awesome!
A friend I’ve know since elementary school got super into hiking about a year and a half ago. He did this extended walk which I believe took him across several states along the Atlantic coast. The daily updates he posted always impressed me. I think the trail is relatively well known in hiking circles (likely one of these:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-distance_trails_in_the_United_States) but I don’t remember the name. Either way, I got him a pair of binoculars ahead of the trip.
I also drew some comics about hiking a while back, but I can’t speak to their accuracy.
