In thinking on more of my goal to hike all 50 states, I guess the start date is now. The idea is to reach my goal over the long term, so why not start now, no? I still want to leave the mileage at 20 miles per state. I'll click off Virginia for obvious reasons, and will count the mileage for West Virginia from my backpack earlier this year. Ideally, I hope to do the mileage consecutively for each state and not have to return to a state to complete the mileage at a later time. This will be a must when traveling to far away states.
I'm still working on when to travel and what states to get to first. I'll work on the states surrounding Virginia first for ease and logistics. This will give me time to save for travel to a farther state and research it.
It all seems like a toy box just opened and not sure which one to play with first. Steady, boy, steady.

This link might help you in your quest. Some of the maps and hike descriptions in the Mid-Atlantic Region might look familiar to you. This guy did 50 K (30 miles) in 50 states in something like 180 days. (All day hikes):

Thanks Mike! Great site! I'm not quite as ambitious as those teams, but the motivation is there. It will be a nice story for the grandkids some day!
