I'm saving the LT, JMT, Colorado Trail, and Hyduke Trail (among others) for when comes a time in my life (god forbid) that I can't take off for five months. I remember meeting about 20 people thru-hiking the LT while I was hiking the AT - most I saw just two days north of the southern terminus of the LT - and we'd get to chatting and when the inevitable question of how far are you hiking came up they'd puff up there chest and say "I'm hiking the Long Trail - all the way to Canada". It always, always made me smile and I'd usually keep quiet about being close to completing a thru-hike of the AT and just wait to see their faces when I signed the trail register - "Moleman GA - ME". God, I can't wait to get back on the trail. :-) Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear LT, happy birthday to you.

I've hiked the portion of the Long Trail that it shares with A.T. on my way to Katahdin, but the entire LT is definitely on my ever-growing bucket list. Happy centennial birthday, LT. Great post!
