I am doing this to prove to myself and those around me that I can accomplish anything, and to re-find myself; also in honer of my grandfather who once told me if I want to truly want to find myself and grow closer to God than ever before. If anyone has any advice or tips to complete a thrue-hike and enjoy it pm me. this is my first time on a long distance hike. thanks to all and good luck
Trail name: TBD
Direction: NOBO
Start date: Around the second week of March, maybe a little later
Approach trail: Not sure yet.
Additional info: Growing up, the AT has always been, "something I could do when I get older." I graduate in December, and it seems like the best time to do this.
Trail Name: Just Try
Direction: NOBO
Estimated Start Date: March 1
Approach Trail: No
Trail Name: waiting til I hit the trail
Direction: northbound
Estimated Start Date: Mid-March, I'm hoping to avoid lingering winter weather
Approach Trail - yes
Additional info: I was originally shooting to do a section hike because I thought I was getting laid off in August, but that got pushed back to December, so I'm going to start with the crowd! I'm trying to see the job loss as a life opportunity
Trail Name: Right now I'm leaning towards letting myself be named while on the trail.
Direction: NOBO
Start: Anywhere from mid-March to early April, depending on the weather.
Approach Trail: Eh...it's not exactly appealing, but I'm also something of a purist. We shall see.
Additional Info: I've been interested in hiking the AT since I was a kid, but recently I decided to quit associating it with some vague notion of "later". I'm terrified of waking up one day fifty years down the road and realizing that I haven't actually done anything of substance. So, I've decided to take a break from school and hit the trail.

First timer on an extended hike like this. Would prefer a trail buddy or a group to travel with but am solo at the moment. From Michigan. Tired of living in the city and staring at all this litter and pavement. Tired of hearing cars drive by. Tired of my Apt complex. Time to get some nature into my life for a good period of time. Easy going and love to learn from and share knowledge with others.
