Looking for a NOBO hiking partner for 2017

[cheymor]

Hey all!

I know this is a little early to be asking, but I was wondering if any other female hikers out there are planning on a NOBO thru-hike in 2017?

I would like a partner to at least start out with on the trail as it would make me and, more importantly,my family a little more comfortable. As of now I plan on starting in early March.

My name is Morgan and I'll be 21 by the time I start my hike!

I am not sure what I am doing yet but I am doing it in 2017..was thinking of a flip flop. ..sounds more effective to me...the odds are better to finish that way...keep me updated. ..

FYI, on Aug 21, 2017 a total eclipse of the Sun will occur over the US, starting in the Pacific NW near Salem, OR and finishing near Charleston, SC. Thus, it will cross the AT in northern GA, and parts of TN and NC. If you can time your hike accordingly, you will be able to witness this rare celestial event on the AT. Good luck on your hike!! For further info, check the following websites: http://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/ and http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogl...21Tgoogle.html

I plan on March 2017 start as well. I will be slow though, I'm 60. I doubt a young person like you would be interested in starting off together but I will post my start date on WB when I know it and you are welcome to join. My 31 year old daughter might come with me but I am planning as if I were alone.

Hi, I saw your post and am planning a NOBO at more or less the same time. I'm 64 but in very good shape. I've never done a thru hike but have done wilderness hikes on my own. I've been looking around for company and I saw your post. Thanks, Cindy

Thanks! I wouldn't mind starting out together if our start dates end up matching up

Hi Dynamite

I plan on starting a section hike in March of 2017. I am 67. I like hiking solo but would love company from time to time and would like to start off with other (s). I will be slow and am sure as when I start something I finish it. I plan on 100 to 125 miles for this section before my husband or son picks me up. I would also entertain doing a flip flop and traveling south.....still researching and planning...I am at the gym most everyday exercising and lifting weights and walking. Plan on losing a bit of weight before March. I am so looking forward to this trip. And am still researching gear for this trip. my email is [email protected] and my facebook page is Sandra Morgan Walker.

Hi ~ I'm even older than you and I'm always looking for older hikers for next year. Is there anyway to keep track of each other? I haven't decided whether to attempt NOBO from Georgia or even if I'll hike the entire trail. If you're interested, friend my facebook page Lora Davis (Grand Junction, Co). I don't follow the forum often - should follow it more. I don't quite know how to manage all the threads and keep track of those I like.

Hi there. I am also planning a 2017 thru. I'll be 27. I don't know that I want a partner, maybe just someone to start off with. Email me if you want.

I am also planning a NOBO in 2017. Solo for most of it. I know from my sections hikes that it takes me 7--10 days to get my legs under me, although I'm hoping to get myself in good enough shape to decrease that time. I figure I will average 8 miles/day for the first five, and be able to make 12--15 regularly by the third week. We'll see. Sounds like there may be a few of us starting out around the same time next year

Glad to see some other ladies my age looking to start a NOBO thru hike in 2017. That is my goal as well right now. Saving and planning. Hoping to leave the 3rd week of March to be have time to enjoy the hike and not be rushing to finish before Baxter closes. My plans are slow for the first 3 - 4 weeks to prevent injury and settle into the trail. I look forward to seeing you on the trail. Maybe come next year at this time we can all reconnect with our specifics.

This is so awesome to see so many solo woman stating next year. I plan to thru hike the AT next year but haven't decided if I will start NOBO or do a FLIP FLOP. I am also doing Long Trail this August If anyone wants to join me.

Hey Morgan, I'll be 23 when me and my lab mix start our hike in march 2017! I'd love to hike with you!

Hey Disco.....I did some section/bingo hiking March3thru10,2016 in the Fontana area. I made reservations for Aug. 2017. the Brown Fork Shelter will be on the edge of the path of totallity for the eclipse......just sayin.....

[hikehunter]

To tell you the truth the PCT in Oregon will have the best view of the eclipse.
