I'm Will, a 45 year old Family Medicine doc with wife and kids, looking to Section Hike the ME - NH portion of AT southbound from mid-Sep to mid-Oct. Should be lovely fall weather and colors. I am fairly experienced and travel pretty light and fast. I anticipate I’ll be able to average 15+ days once I get my trail legs. Ideal for the month-long hike would be to the MA border, but to Hanover, NH at mile 440 would make me happy too.

I would love to have a hiking partner, male or female, young or old that can go that pace. I’m pretty tame, I can be talkative but I’m happy to hike for hours very quietly --- silence doesn’t bother me at all. I can be handy with trail first aid and I am a good reliable navigator (that doesn’t mean I don’t ever take the wrong trail, but I hopefully will realize it sooner rather than later).

That section of trail SOBO in fall won’t have many thru hikers, it’d be great to have company. Let me know and we can start planning.
