    Where my thru hikers at?

    I'm a section hiker and will complete my 2019 section later in July.

    Until then, I'm in NH near Hanover and would like to do some trail magic. Is the bubble anywhere near here yet? Or too early?

    I did my first section hike last June, from Springer to Fontana Dam. The crowds were all over the place in GA but dissipated considerably in NC. The trail shakes people off like water off a wet dog!

    Yes, please, get out there and hike as much as you can! If you don't finish it will give you a goal (and something to dream about) for a later date. Happy trails and HYOH!

    Great insider info. I am also a generous tipper in general, but shuttles are expensive so I wasn't sure if the tip was sort of calculated into the cost. I will plan to tip for sure. Thank you!

    Do you tip your shuttle driver?

    What is the etiquette? Usually one is not expected to tip an owner/operator, but I want to know what is customary/expected.

    Thanks!

    I'm a 34D and on my fourth bra. I finally found one that fits perfectly, supports the ladies and doesn't dig. The Moving Comfort Maia with underwire.

    I live in Texas, so if I don't hike in heat then I don't hike for several months a year. Slather on the sunblock and drink lots of water, you'll be fine.
