Hey all,

To be frank, the mountains are calling and I must go. I've backpacked little parts of the AT in the recent past, but now that I've graduated college it's finally time to go for a substantial amount of time. I'm a 21yo female though.. and mom and dad would feel much better if I had a concrete hiking partner/friend to go with. Id love to start at Springer in March and hike until mid June. No real goals to meet, just covering good ground, soul searching, and escaping the "real world" for a while. I've backpacked plenty in life, so I'm reasonable about milage and I generally know the ropes. I have all the gear on deck, I'm in relatively good shape, and I'm truly just ready to spend some time in the woods.

If anyone is thinking of starting in March and wants to make a serious friend, let's see if our plans coincide!
