I've been feeling like I'm kind of in a rut and could use a challenge. The last couple of weeks I've been seriously thinking about resigning in Feb and starting in March.
Ranger z,
i am planning a NOBO start date of March 1st Am a retire USAF PJ. Live over near Phily Pa. Let's hook up on the trail
I'm planning mid March 2017...
Early march/late Feb here
March 1st for me NOBO I just did 134 miles ( Neels Gap to Fontana Dam ). It was great
I am fascinated by the Appalachian Trail. Its all I think about, read about, and dream about. My plan is to start my thru hike on March 11, 2017 at 11:11 am and reach Mt Katahdin on Sept 6, 2017. I am 63 years old with little hiking and camping experience, just the desire and hardheadedness to complete an "adventure of a lifetime." I would enjoy communicating with you about the adventure.
As long as my house sells, I will be starting NOBO March 9, 2017 (my 40th birthday). Ready to go now!!
I'm very excited... I completed the AT last year, now my wife wants to do it, probably two big sections over two years though (so not a thru hike).
I'm going to do Springer-->Damascus with her, then a couple/few weeks here and there with her later on. Looking at early-mid March start time. She can't wait and talks about it all the time!
Quick question: does anyone know when AWOL for 2017 will come out? She wants to buy 2016 now, but I'm trying to get her to wait for the update for 2017 (Mine is a 2014 and in tatters....).
so, Colorado_rod, old guys can hike!!! How many 60 year olds were on the trail with you ?
Planning a NoBo thru-hike starting Feb 25!
I plan my NOBO for mid February 2017 to avoid the crowds
I'm going to complete as much as I can for a 2017 NOBO. Due to graduation and a potential job offer, I'm starting May 10thish. I hope to find a partner or at least run into some late starters like myself, since I'm going alone. Been planning obsessively, hope to hike as much as I can before starting my new job sometime in August or September. If they don't hire me I'll just keep hiking, haha! Goodness knows when I'll have time off to do it again.

I would like to set off NOBO earlier in the season, beginning of February. Although, weather-wise, we are looking towards early March. No hard dates yet, but we are closing in on them.
