I have piece hiked about 25% of the trail, but I would love to do the whole thing too. It is a really beautiful trail. I don't think I would be able to do it in my 80's though. Sleeping on the hard ground (Or pallets in the shelters) is already too much or my back. Maybe a nice hammock or something would help.
