Run Away?

I've started to wonder if I'm not too old to run away. While researching hiking and camping gear online, I've made a side track onto reading articles and watching YouTube videos on hiking the Appalachian Trail.

In the last four days I've read one and a half books by people who have thru-hike the trail. By Coincidence, both authors were also engineers who reached a boiling point at quit their jobs to head out on the nearly half year long adventure.

I'm starting to convince myself this may be an adventure I should take.
