Tentatively mid March 2011 NOBO, trying to convince a friend to join me but he's "scared" boo hoo
Early March. Can't wait. Now I just have to work and keep up the excitement.
Muss es sein? Es muss sein! Es muss sein!
Must it be? It must be! It must be!

- Moondoggie
If you come to a fork in the road...take it - Yogi Berra
Im hoping to start in Feb. of 2011, if all goes according to plan, anyone else leaving around then?
what about 2010?
I lost count there, so, I'll be #15. Chompin at the bit! We are all going to go crazy. We still have 11 grueling months ish.
I'm going! starting June 12 after I graduate...heading north from Front Royal then fly back and hike to Springer CAN'T WAIT
I'm starting March 1, 2011 on Springer.
Maybe a little earlier... I like the cold.
Ha! Someone for Florida liking the cold. That's about as common as catching a bucket full of snipe in one night. I have a bunch of kin in the Orlando area and if you listen to them one would think its the coming of the apocalypse if it drops below 40F.
Congratulations on setting your start date. I will be taking off around mid-March so we probably won't cross paths (who knows though) but I will keep an eye on the log books.
Will start mid to late March depending on the weather. Will take the Milwaukee bus to Atlanta via Chicago. The bus stops in Chicago for a layover to Atlanta. The bus is much cheaper than the train and the bus drops off in Atlanta near a MARTA station which you take north to the north springs MARTA station. I recommend using the services of the AT Hiker Hostel run by Josh and Leigh Saint who pick you up there and take you to the Dahlonega Hostel for the night. Then after breakfast they take you to the trail, either at the visitors center for the approach trail...or to the top for the actual trail starting point.
