You will be a little early for the brunt of "the bubble", but there will be plenty of other hikers on the trail by the 15th

you can hold 20 bottles of beer in this sucker...that should be more then enough storage for a UL hiker

Its been a really dry winter...i was thinking that unless it becomes a really wet spring, bugs may not be too much of an issue this year

I'd agree that New England is much tougher. Even in the south, climbing The Priest SOBO is a bear of a climb and IMO harder then Thunderhead.

Not to be a stickler, but kilts are mens garments :p

Just proves that i'm not UL

I imagine if you call Chet and let him know you'll be arriving late that wouldn't be a problem; he is a pretty chill dude like that.

Schadacoke (sp?) mountain is a pretty bad climb, st. johns ledges are a steep decent, but 4 days is plenty of time. Be sure to hit Falls Village when the Toymakers cafe is open, they'll let you tent...

says you never hiked on the AT before, any other experiences that come close to this? If this is your first major long-distance section of hiking I would low ball it and head for Damascus. This is...

I would consult the list of "prohibited items" for air travel...if you carry any of them they should be mailed to AFSP, the list you have are the obvious ones, but things like toothpaste or camp soap...

Everyones got their reasons and experiences it truly is HYOH; Lonewolf would say "its just walking", these are those who try to "find themselves", I was of the mindset of adventure and pushing myself...

CT/NY boarder to Greylock any time of year. Its never the same hike twice!

We're only a few years from holodecks (for all you Treckies out there)...

Wait...was there just a civil disagreement and misunderstanding on whiteblaze that didn't degenerate into verbal grenade throwing, thus, forcing the mods to shut down the thread?!

maybe we are...

I did AFSP to Neels in 4 days, I stayed at Springer Mountain Shelter, Hawk Mountain Shelter, Gooch Gap Shelter, and pushed to Neels. If I skipped the approach trail, and the weather more favorable,...

"That's almost humorous seeing you are from Connecticut, where camping is restricted along the entire AT corridor to designated shelters and camps."
