I'm thinking about quitting my summer job in nyc and doing something cool with my vacation time. My gear would just be a $200 used Trek bike and a backpack with food, a kindle, some math books and a $20 sleeping bag. I plan on finding bushes in towns and cities and sleeping there. I'm pretty sedentary but I've been biking 20 miles every day for the last two weeks. I'm a wreck. My dopamine receptors are messed up due to my lack of will to power to quit screen time. I feel that this could be good for me, but it could just be me being impulsive. I don't know whether to take Mt Katahdin off my route or not because I think I'd be going days without seeing civilization. I don't want to meet skinwalkers or bears at night. I have to be back in NYC by the 5th of August.
What do you anons think? Is it a good trip? Should I skip Katahdin and just go from Boston back to NYC? I'm interested in Katahdin because it's pretty and because of this song:
