I am planning to section hike, not sure if you want us Section Hikers here but starting August 9 from Rockfish Gap to Front Royal, Nobo Tim Pappy Case

[Strider1]

Trail Name : TBD
Direction / Start: Alternative Flip/Flop: My wife and I are planning on starting at the Delaware Water Gap (DWG) in early August and head Southbound, hoping that the Nat'l Parks, ATC, shelters, campsites, etc are open to hikers (Recognizing the Covid pandemic under control, and hopefully, by then we'll have been vaccinated) so you don't have to feel like a "thief in the night". When we get to Georgia, take the winter off and in mid April (?) 2022 go back to DWG and head north to Katahdin, hoping to minimize the early season mosquitos, black flies, and Vermont Mud in the process, and still get it done within 12 months.

I'll compile all the data into a spreadsheet which will be available for viewing in the articles section.

ATC also has a registration page. Check it out here. ATC's Covid 19 information and updates can be found here.

Lots of bear activity on the trail in recent years. Take appropriate, responsible actions with your food bag.

Good Luck, Have Fun and be mindful of Covid!

See you on the trail,
