Sorry for late responses, been slammed catching up with business
As for where I hiked, all over the state and dominantly on the LT. A friend is a caretaker up there and so we hiked the best views with his dad. I have hiked pieces of the AT, what started out as a through hike during winter ended with me caught in the "polar vortex" and two nights of jumping jacks and eating to stay warm all night while I hiked back to an area where I could hitch a ride...that burned me on long distance.
The keys sounds pretty dank!
I have done some 500 mile days but it makes me a tired boy...
