Since moving from North Carolina to Texas about 1.5 years ago, I've really been missing the AT. I did a short section of the Ouachita Trail a few weeks back and it just ain't the same. I'm hoping to get back to the AT for a section hike sometime in Spring or Fall 2009...though the sooner the better. Are there any AT hikers living in the DFW area? At least having someone to talk to about the trail would be helpful. Maybe we could get a small group together to plan a section and share the drive.
