Anyone ever hike the "Georgia Loop"?
AT -> Duncan Ridge -> Benton MacKaye -> AT = ~57.1 miles over 4 days (bank 2 for rest/travel there/back ~11hrs each way so tack a day on each end for travel = 6 day trip). Means you're crushing 14mi a day (Maybe less on Duncan if you can hump it more on the wider AT).
Thinking about doing this in Nov.
Obviously, this is in GA.
Physically, it is within limits based on my fitness level and past backcountry experience. Obviously have to go light (shelter, insulation 25-70 expected, food, water processing/storage, booze.....basically minimal "creature comforts").
