Hey Happy - good luck, west central Ohio here and still cold with snow here....+1 on buying a jacket before starting, it will be worth the weight to not be shivering for 3-4 weeks. Will be in the Whites and Maine in early August. HYOH !!
i dont have anyone sending me items , im doing this completely solo so what i bring is what i bring for the whole trip! i have alrdy sent my own care package with my first 3 days supply's to make it 2 neel gap, i have 3 layers of clothes, which is more then i wear now , btw its 9 degrees here with a wind chill under -6 and snowing, march 2 temp for springer mt is
68° high
46° low
im more worried about chaffing not freezing , i have not felt 68 degrees in 7 months here in solon ohio!
Good luck Happy. Hope you have a great hike. Call me if need help when your in my area.
Good Luck Happy from one of "them people". It is nice to have something to "cool down" in (a jacket) at the end of the day.
just got home from Amicalola Falls SP to Neels Gap section hike this past weekend. Top of Springer was jammed with dayhikers on Saturday, first nice warm weekend in a while. Folks at Mountain Crossings said the logbook was signed by approx. 45 nobo thru-hikers as of this weekend. Hawks Mtn Shelter on Sat nite had approx. a dozen for the night. Water is flowing excellent up there in all springs and creeks right now. Best of luck to class of 2014!
Good Luck, enjoy your hike, I am also planning on driving down from Charlottesville,VA on Sat.and meeting some old friends at Amicolola Falls. We are planning to do some hiking and provide some trail majic at woody gap. If anyone is going that way and needs a ride and willing to share gas money PM me. Tic Toc
Good luck.
Remember, don't stop hiking north unless something is in a cast. Then decide if that appendage can tag along for the ride.
Have a great hike. Twenty seven more days till I hit the trail.

29* right now, just a few miles from springer. might not want to wait until neels for that coat, no matter what kind of cold blooded yankee you are. happy trails though!
Good Luck Happy!! Getting all goose-bumpy for ya!! Be safe and have fun :-)

I'm from boston, don't wear a coat at home either . mountain cold is different and wet mountain cold is another. wet mountain cold with mountain wind on the ridge is another. you are outside 24 hours a day, it's different, but have fun!
