    I live a 1000' from the trail, 6 miles south of the halfway point, 1 mile north of the Birch Run Shelter, stop in and say hello, pitch your tent, get a shower and we'll have a BBQ. PM'd you with my number

    keep a journal and update it often (if you are afraid of stalkers delay posts)
    people messaged me and stopped on trail to see me. some of the best times i remember. one of them brought me little debbies and hugs. , others cashed water and crackers, openned their homes and encouraged me. i would of met LW, but he had a heart attack just to avoid me
    I'm so confused, I'm not sure if I lost my horse or found a rope.

    I'd also love to meet as many White Blazers as possible on my hike!

    I've been following the board closely and it would be awesome to meet some of you in person.
    If it wasn't for this website I don't think I would have made the decision to do the hike.

    Wow, wish I had your number a month ago. I bailed on a trip due to snow and cold and thought 'Ridge Road' (just South of Birch Run) was an actual road... Then my ride refused to leave without me when we realized it wasn't plowed at all and they couldn't reach me. It was a long, hectic night. I walked the three miles North on Ridge Road to Shippensburg Road.

    i sometimes feel a little guilty for not giving back. i work at ATL airport, and live in ellijay when i'm off schedule. on the surface it seems like it would be convenient to offer rides to "friends" but the few times i've put it out there the logistics get a little annoying

    i thought that it was going to be very hard to hike alone and without having any family, but i was wrong, alot of you guys are my family and are giving me tons of support, people say the best part of hiking is being alone in the woods with your own thoughts, i believe its the people you meet! , in 2012 i met blissful in MD at the dahlgren campground, she game be pack management , a wellness plan (that i followed) , and she even took care of my feet (they were bad), and shared her meal with me, later that night a few drunks came to set up camp and she was able to boot them out so we could have a good nite sleep, She probably doesnt remember me but i will never forget how much better i felt leaving then when i arrived at the campgound!

    The lengths some people will go to just to avoid being sociable!!!! Well, Snacktime and I got to meet LW, and it was worth the stalking....

    I live in Buena Vista which a lot of people use as a resupply point between Daleville and Waynesboro. Pm me if you would like my cell number. I might be able to bring you into town/back to the trail or both. Depends on my work schedule.
