We hiked 500 miles (GA, NC, TN, VA) a few years ago, starting at the southern terminus. My favorite food was cheesey baco-spuds. I also grew surprisingly fond of ramen noodles. Everyone's GORP is different. My quick version has cashews, m&m's & raisins. For healthy GORP, I include a variety of dried fruits and additional nuts. I actually prefer my quick version. #6 reminds me of the humor we found in our guide book. We are hiking hundreds of miles and the book advises that something is within walking distance. :-) Well, of course. Congratulations on beginning to section hike the AT.
