AT Hiker Now Heads to Continental Divide Trail

Ian Cropp has an article titled "One Hike indivisible" in the Vail (CO) Times on 30 March 2007 about a guy named Andy Linger who hiked the Appalachian Trail 10 years ago, and is now heading out on the Continental Divide Trail.

Linger mentions a few things about his AT hike, stuff he learned about long distance hiking, comparisons to what he's expecting on the CDT, and so on.

It's a pretty nice article. And you can follow him on this year's hike at his website where he'll be updating readers with a handheld computer (which the article doesn't explain how he'll be powering or recharging).

Here's a link to his 1997 Appalachian Trail hike journal. His trailname was/is "Skygod."
