My ECT Section Hike

The Eastern Continental Trail is an unofficial trail that begins in Key West and ends in Belle Isle, Newfoundland, Canada. It encompasses eight distinct sections which means I have a lot of hiking to do. I am resetting the odometer to 0000 for all parts of the ECT in Florida on January 1, 2007. I am going to document the limited mileage I have on the AT because I kept accurate records of those hikes and the odds are I will not be rehiking any section of the AT in my lifetime because I have a lot else to cover. That said, here is my section hike progress so far. Click a trail name to see the subtotal for that section.

Totals: 148.7/5276 miles = 2.8% of ECT Completed as of 1/13/07
