I just did a little math and it turns out that I spent roughly $1939.00 on the trail. That does not include gear bought before hand or train tickets. I had figured that hiking the whole trail would cost between $2000.00 and $3000.00; there’s an old saying that the AT costs one dollar a mile. Apparently now it’s up to two dollars per mile. So I guess there’s another good reason for stopping, I was broke! Good info to know for when I plan the next half.
