Please excuse my acronym naïveté, but what is the PNF?
pacific National Forest?
pisgah National Forest?
pissing norovirus falls?

Yikes, definitely want to avoid those falls.

Sorry I meant, the Pacific North West. As in OR, WA, and BC.

I'm exploring this currently. Man, racks and packs are expensive, like I bought similar equipment for the motorcycle, cheaper. Probably just stick to backpacking unless I hit the lotto.

While some bikepackers will tell you that any mtb will work just fine, I do not believe this to be the case with a low slung, uber slack, trail ripping Banshee Spitfire with almost zero room for a frame bag. So yeah, moar monies.

Way better than getting fat and buying a motorcycle on credit that I couldn't possibly afford or some other generic mid life crisis bullshit.

It's good to know others learn from my life examples.

I ain’t too broke to pay attention.

That closed about 15 years ago. kmart is closing here in Feb, and I heard a rumor about Pizza Hut.
good riddance.

Yeah, if I do indeed get the Triple Crown bug I might decide to do the PCT. But my "Bucket List" is only two items long. The top one is riding in the PNW. Has been since the late 90s. I would like to do this while I'm still capable of aggressive trail riding. I have often fantasized about taking a six week road trip out west.

The AT wasn't even on my radar and certainly not a life long dream like some folks. For me it's a chance at having a positive life changing experience that I really need at this point. Way better than getting fat and buying a motorcycle on credit that I couldn't possibly afford or some other generic mid life crisis bullshit.
