Sanity Check for GA Section Hike Schedule

The FSU football players always seem to wear real nice shoes.

We are not called Felony State University for nothing. HIR, we will just add football to the big three things not to talk about when on the trail. lol

Sounds like you're ready to have a great hike! Hope it's fun, IMHO, I'd skip the approach trail. Nice views, but not worth what it might do to those flatlander feet. Shuttle to top of Springer, and enjoy the hike with a little less time constraint

We can talk football, if you don't mind that I can't hold up my end of the conversation. Fencing, now....

Just wanted to wish you a great hike! Hoping for no rain.

I think you are probably going to be OK, as long as you'll hike no matter the weather. I did the same in less time as a 56 year old lightweight backpacker. Started at about noon on an early April Saturday in Amicalola, resupplied mid-day at Neels Gap on Tuesday, and arrived at Dick Creek Gap early Friday afternoon to stay in the Blueberry Patch hostel. This was seven rather than the eight days you've budgeted. See trailjournals.com/QiWiz for details.

Cool QiWiz, I will check it out.

Thanks,

Sems there are many North Florida old and young timers headed out. We should get organized or at least start talking to each other more since we have the same lack of terrain. I am headed out in June Damascus to Pearlisburg or so. Would not mind having a bit of company. Gator or 'Nole, doesn't matter. I went to USF before they had a football team. As long as you're not a Bulldog (but that might even be negotiable).
