Ozark Trail Thru Hike
I was looking at the Ozark Highland trail in Arky as a precursor to the JMT but then I stumbled across this and like it even more.

Haven't hiked that hike but did spend most of my summers in my youth on the northern end of that, or nearby. Beautiful part of the state.

I'm originally from Rolla and my dad worked for the Mark Twain national forest. So I've done it several times. Fun stuff.
I'm camping at Yosemite over Memorial Day and doing the JMT this fall.

I'm jealous, Yosemite is my favorite place in this country. But his summer I'm taking the kids to Yellowstone.
I'm doing Europe next year and planning on the JMT in 2017

We used to steal farm equipment and ride up and down the Katy Trail, but to answer your question...
No, never have.
But I bet it couldn't handle farm equipment like the Katy Trail could.

You should try the Ozark Trail.
Gonna take my wife up Half Dome in 2 weeks. Then JMT this fall. I'm darn close to having her convinced to take time off work to do the PCT next year with another couple.

How old are you? I'm 44 and feeling I'm too old for the PCT, frick it's over 2,000 miles and takes over 6 months

I live in Washington state just 20 miles from the PCT. I've climbed many of the mountains here including Rainier, Olympus, Shasta, Hood, Whitney. Just climbed Adams again this past weekend.
My point is that I have some experience with the PCT and it is no joke...especially if you are through-hiking it. If you can do it...I applaud you sir.

Northern end.
The Missouri/Arkansas Ozarks is some of the greatest and most spectacular land this country has to be honest. Very underrated when compared to the Appalachian or Rockies foothills.

I'm 40 but I'm in good shape. I run 27-30 miles a week and do a ton of hiking and backpacking.
And if I did do PCT, I would train hard and not take it lightly.

I'm really getting psyched up over this.
I'm asking for a pile of guide books for Father's Day

Very pretty part of the Ozarks. Trail itself does not really lend itself to thru hiking
