As far as locale. I had assumed coast to coast US, since they mentioned the AT and PCT, but if a different continent the advice might well be different (and outside my area of experience).

Sadly we often hear from folks once and never again with no follow up. Sometimes we get some conversation and even feed back after a trip, but that is the exception. We never know if it was a whim and they lost interest or whether they moved ahead to other sources and followed through.
