Blackbeard,
I enjoyed your trip report.....hits home!You might benefit from setting up a base camp(however far in is determined by your comfort/fitness zone)and day hike from that point. It's a great way to get your sea-legs early in the season and greatly enhances your enjoyment of the wilds. Also, enables you to pack in a few luxuries.As for rocky trails, take the advice to invest in a good pair of boots. Much of my lower body and leg aches and pains were relieved after getting a pair of Asolo 520 GTX boots. A great pair of boots! As your fitness level increases you will knock of those 10+ mile days carrying 50lbs. without a hitch and have a great experience to boot!
