Some good advice here.
The better half is doing the 3 day Cancer walk in August -www.3day.org

60 miles in 3 days - she has been training 5 to 6 miles a day and doing a 10 to 15 on weekends.

What do you folks with long hike experience recommend for the lady?

I have shown her the pantyhose and powder ideas - anything else?

I'm doing the same walk in November. Haven't even started walking yet. I gotta take a nap just reading that your wife is already doing 5 miles daily.

NwBie.  Have your wife a good pair of boots with ankle support, laced up nice and firm.  Wool socks with plenty of foot powder.  Drink water :)  Stretch before and after the training hikes.

Fudgums.  Yes.  We navigated all 3 states on foot.  Base was located in the "stick" portion of WV.  It seems it was called Camp Davis or some such.

The Tennessee/Kentucky border ran right through the middle of Ft. Campbell.  Always thought that was weird.

30 minutes North of Morgantown Fudgums.  Very small base.  Topographics look like a drunk worm up there  :O

ReDhAwK
Morgantown is 5 miles south from the PA border. I think you were more east as in Bruceton Mills or Preston County area.
