    Red face Looking for thru hike companions-2012

    I have been looking on the forums at everyone's start date plans, but not many specify if they are with a group or solo.
    I'm leaving between march 15-April 1, 2012
    I have friends who will meet me for small sections along my journey, but alas, I am considered a solo hiker.
    I am hoping to find a group to hike with.
    Anyone else in the same boat??

    hiking that time off year you WILL never be alone.
    I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.

    Hooch Nurse agrees.

    Like others have said, you won't be alone down there that time of year. That said, I moved this over to the "Hooking Up" forum just in case you want to find someone for sure to start with and/or plan with.
    Don't take anything I say seriously... I certainly don't.

    I am! I just graduated from high school. I'll be turning 18 in February and before I start college I really want to hike the AT. I currently have no partner and as a girl I don't fancy thru-hiking alone. If you don't mind hiking with someone a bit younger then let me know! I'd be leaving right around the same time!

    Take a look at this thread. A bunch of women looking to start together in March:

    As others said, there are HUGE waves of hikers on the trail around this time, and as for hitching, well, the fastest way for a guy to get a ride is to hitch with a girl, so you'll have plenty of hitch-hiking safety buddies.

    Hahaha! I never thought of it that way. The thing I am probably most afraid of on the trail is hitch-hiking! That makes me feel a little better.

    I'm looking at a mid-March to April 1 start as well. Wouldn't mind starting out with someone.
