Following. I look forward to your writings as you hike the AT. I've done several section hikes over the years and the section before Harpers Ferry known as the rollercoaster was probably most difficult. I wish I could take the time off to make the entire hike. The best I can do is live it through journals written by people like yourself. Good luck and enjoy!

I hear ya, I have a few friends who were wanting to go too but the work thing...not many places will let you off for a window of time like that. Its a shame really. It'll be a wonderful life experience, and should i survive my hopes are to hit the Pacific Crest trail after. I grew up in Washington state and originally that was the trail that started all this. I just live closer to the AT these days. But, I'm glad I will be able to share it with you! Don't stop writing me, I will be on that journey alone aside from anyone I meet. My followers will keep away the lonely.
I'm sure you will do fine. The community on the trail is supper friendly and we look out for each other. And it will be challenging. Every time I'm out I learn something about myself. My only advise really is to get a trail guide book and figure out what you can live without to keep that pack light.
