If anyone happens to want to do a long section, 10 days to the whole thing, on the SheltTrace, in Oct-Dec 2012 and wants a partner, please contact me. I don't mind walking alone but would like to camp and do shuttles/resupply with a buddy or two. i'm experienced sectioning the AT and am happy with anywhere from 12 to 18 miles per day when I get in the groove. Also would consider a BMKaye hike in this time period as well as any scenic part of the AT north of Damascus.
