Well - I’ve had a few days since completing my journey to decompress. I wanted to summarize a few things. I think it’s really interesting to see these numbers. I know this page will be something I’ll always reference in the future. Here you go:
** 97 camping days, 65 Hotel/Hostal stays
** 12 Zero days
** 44.44% - rain days
** 14.72 miles/day - daily average using only days with positive miles on AT
** 13.54 miles/day - daily average using all 162 days
** 23.8 miles - longest mileage day
** 25 Hotel/Hostals during first 81 days. 40 Hotel/Hostals during the last 81 days
** 8 Zero Days during my first 81 days. 4 Zero Days during my last 81 days
** 20 days of 20+ miles per day
