I was thinking of doing this section about this time as well. What dates are you going? If it matters I am a noob hiker as well, same age and married but all our children are of the fuzzy four legged variety.

I maybe starting around September 20. Will be driving up from Florida after helping out my daughter and was planning on doing a section hike from Springer to Fontana Dam about 160 miles. Next spring do another section north bound. Wife still works so she gets upset if I leave for to long this should be about a two week hike. If interested get back to me send me a private IM.

I will be at Springer on Sept. 29th for the week , I plan on going to the state line if anyone wants to come. I'm not doing the approach because it would cost me a day.

As a fellow Lexingtonian, I've done that section. Even at a slow pace, the 8 miles would 'cost' you about 3 hrs. Other than the wretched stairs at the bottom of the waterfall, it's an easy section. You might want to give it a go just to have it done.

Thanks, I've heard about those stairs, lol. I might give it a go.

I am planning to begin my journey on the AT on November 16 - 18. I am going to do it one section at a time due to my day job. Any advice that you could offer would be awesome. I plan to start at Springer and go as far as possible in a long weekend. Where should I plan to be picked up on Sunday? Thanks for your help
