mid april start date

[diesel1228]

My start date in mid april is quickly approaching, and the nerves are starting to set in. I have bought most of my gear, and have a shakedown hike planned for february 10th in cali. Anyone else starting their thru hike in mid april?

I am. I haven't set an exact date yet or set the trip in stone yet (life happens sometimes), but if all goes well, mid April for me. Started the 19 April '15 last try so I might pick somewhere around there again for no good reason.
