    Alright, I've finally convinced myself to commit to a round 2. Get ready, guys.

    Trail name: I'll let what happens happen.
    Direction: NOBO
    Start date: Early March
    Approach trail: I've done it too many times already

    Yo yo yo, I'm a 25 yo piece of hiker trash from 'Bama, nice to meet y'all. If anyone leaving early March is looking to hit the trail hard while also having a frickin' delightful time due to my endearing, yet incorrigible self, feel free to pm me.

    Happy trails! See you guys out there.

    Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
    Live in silence.

    Flow down and down in always
    widening rings of being.

    Northbound, goal is second week of April. Trigger is 10 miles daily for 5 days. Plan to do approach trail. I was Reekie until I started grade school, Birdie since high school, see if I pick up another nickname once I'm hiking

    April 12 (official/ATC registered date) but I may come out early to knock out some miles and tweak my gear (no shelters reserved yet)
    I wouldn't miss the approach trail although I may slackpack it to split the difference.

    I also go by Swathhiker because I hike large swaths of the trail, much bigger than a section but not a complete thru (until this one). I have done Harper's Ferry to Hanover so many times at this point that often I can recognize parts of the trail by just a close up photo of a switchback. Sad.

    I can't wait to see, and sure hope to see, some of my old-timer friends out there bumping around. I tore my MCL (knee side ligament) getting off the sofa, so I'll be the one cruising at .5 mph, which is why I may unofficially start in March to knock out some miles and fine tune my lightweight strategy.

    I used an internet link and got a registration number and an order number. What is the purpose of 2 numbers? Why do I need to print it out? Do all numbers begin with the letter T? Does this mean when I get my backpack weighed, I hand in my registration number and off I go? Thanks in advance
