training for the Appalachian trail on the Northern country trail

I've decided to do a lot of training on the Northern country trail to help prepare me for the Appalachian trail. the fact of the matter is I've never hiked on the Northern country trail except in bits and pieces. this is the first serious hike I've done on it and I have to say I'm totally impressed. the northern country trail at least this section is well taken care of and is marked very clearly. for any more information please see epicsurvivalsecrets.com
