NOBO February 11th you can follow me on Instagram @noroadsigns I have already hiked from Springer Mountain, GA to Hot Springs, NC so I might just start out in Hot Springs and head to Katahdin.

Thanks for all the reply's.

I have actually hiked up those stairs, I have seen the falls and I hiked all the way to Hot Springs, NC. I just didn't know if it was required of me to do it again and be considered a thru-hike.

I don't need a shuttle. I will be having someone to drop me off.

I am looking forward to it. Thanks for the tip.

From what I was told the first 3 weeks of March are busy. That's why I have decided anywhere between February 18-25th.

I will be starting my thru hike in mid February 2018 between the 18th and 25th. I am pretty much able to leave whenever. I would like to find others to hike along with as I have never done winter...
