I'll see you all late Feb 2018. All we have to do is just keep walking, right?

My son and I are planning on starting March 7 next year.Look forward to meeting a lot of great people on our journey ! We are hiking from Davenport Gap to Sams Gap next week for a shake down hike.

That's pretty much it, yeah. Keep walking no matter the weather. Keep walking through hunger. Keep walking irrespective of the vagaries of gear. Keep walking despite injuries. Just keep walking.

Really now.
You don't think I know that? Despite my minimal on-line activity I am no novice.
How precise must I be here to avoid feeling I've slighted someone?

No problem. Developing thicker skin is just part of the through-hike prep.

[Cathole]

Thank-you, good people...i got so wrapped up in "anti-troll" that I became one! A lesson learned.
I humbly look forward to further exchanges with y'all as we aproach the start of our hikes.

Me too - it's all hinging on that leave of absence because when I return to the world, I will need my job..

Hi! I'm Kristi, but everyone calls me Vixxen. I am planning a March 19th start for my thru-hike attempt - the day after my birthday. I would enjoy meeting people and sharing a meal or two, some stories, and laughs along the trail.

[tipcar]

I will be hitting the trail to thru hike March 1st. This will be my first attempt and hope to make it to the end for my 50th birthday in July. Hope to see you on the trail.

[tipcar]

I will be leaving Springer mountain for a thru hike March 1st. Hope to see you there on the trail.

[tipcar]

I am heading out on the trail at attempting to thru hike March 1. I hope to be able to finish in July on my 50th birthday. Looking forward to seeing and meeting everyone. I will be hiking alone and I still don't have a trail name.

[AlamoHiker]

I am. I'm hitting the trail Monday, February 26th, 2018 @ Amicalola.

I already bought my plane ticket and have my travel and lodging arrangements with hikerhostel.com paid for. FYI, if anyone is going to use them, they increased the pricing for the thru-hiker special for next season.

The good news for you is that the shuttles start February 15.
Got your winter gear together?
Have fun.

Pretty much. Need to make a few clothing changes and I'll be set.

[Venchka]
