This week, Dan and Brian are hiking the Northville-Placid Trail. It’s 133 miles from Northville, NY to Lake Placid, NY. It takes an average of 19 days to hike. Or, I should clarify… Most people hike it in around 19 days.

Dan and Brian are hiking it in 6.

Leg 1 of their journey was 32 miles, from Northville to Piseco. Made possible by their fresh legs, a lack of any significant elevation gain, and lots to talk about to pass the time.

Apparently there’s cell service where they’re camping; that’s how I got the update. See you guys on Wednesday night!

Hello! I love your blog. I wanted to share with you mine. We are hiking the Pacific Crest Trail to spread awareness for Multiple Sclerosis. Our Hike will be out on the trail for 8 months. On our blog I will be posting photos along the way to keep people updated as well as share our experiences with you all. I would love for you to check it out and share it with your friends and family! Spread the word, knowledge and love!

Thank you! We’ll be following for sure — My mother was diagnosed with MS when I was younger, so your cause definitely hits close to home. Enjoy every second of the PCT. So many people want to be able to do it, but can’t, so remember how lucky you are to have the experience, even when you’re miserable. I look forward to your updates!
