Me too. Two day trips is about all I can manage these days. And that is loop trails or there and backs.

I kid about section hiking the Florida Trail. The FT (aka a county road) is about a mile from the house. After a couple miles of road walk the trail goes into the woods along the river for two miles. There are two campsites in that stretch. I will walk from the house late in the afternoon, camp on the river and walk back the next morning. Maybe micro section hiking?

That sounds dangerously like it involves camping.

Yes, you will need to sleep. If the trail was crowded, you would learn why Hiker Midnight is such a big deal. Anyone coming into camp after 9:30, especially if they are using a white headlamp, would be persona non grata if they didn't leave camp too early to snub.

I so wish everyone could have spent a summer or two taking the hike in camping/fishing trips I did as a kid. Got beat for taking taters,onions, garlic and BACON. Not disappearing with a friend or three for 4-5 days. LOL. Can't do that now. But outdoors is outdoors.

For a lot of years I went camping a week every Christmas. Not hiking, I didn't pick up that bug until later, but a week on the river. My friends came and went as their work dictated, but the floor where I work was sanded and refinished the week between Christmas and New Years for years. So I had a solid week and a half off.
 
I had a fishing bug. Camping was just an inconvenience until I realized how big a part it played. Not sure how to express the good a few days in nature is for you. Especially without modern power devices. LOL.
 
Everyone I know has had some stupid cop encounter driving across Kansas with out of state plates (mostly on i70). I got pulled over during the tail end of a snowstorm by a cop sitting in the median...said I looked tired when I drove past him.

Anywho, hiking and camping are both great. Just dont do it Kansas.
