Hi CT hikers. I am a 45-year-old Colorado mom with lots of 3-5 day backpacking experience. I am planning to thru-hike the CT west-bound, beginning the last week of July or first week of August 2014 (dates pretty flexible). This will be my first thru-hike. I plan to cover 16-24 miles per day, have a few layovers in town along the way, and finish in about 5 weeks.

For safety reasons, I would like to find a female hiking partner for this journey. Perhaps if we get along well, we can hike other long trails like the JMT or PCT in the future.

Please respond to this post or send me a private message if you are interested.

Thank you,

Tonya
