Starting a BMT thru-hike later this week

[ernie84]

Hey all,

Long-time reader, first-time contributor here. I've been planning a BMT thru hike for the past few months and the big day is almost here. I'll start up the approach trail from AFSP on Thursday morning 5/15. Plan to arrive in Reliance by 5/23, Fontana Dam by 5/30, and Big Creek by 6/6. Just thought I would put this information out there in case there is anyone planning to be on the trail at the same time. If all goes well, I'll have a trip report to share sometime next month.

Since I'm thinking of hiking the BMT next spring, I'm looking forward to your trip report. Have a great hike.

Good luck and have fun. If things work out I'll hike the BMT this year, so I'm looking forward to hearing about your hike.
