Nobo Springer to Damascus Starting April 13

I'm planning an April 13 hike starting from Springer. How many other people can I expect to see starting then?

That is a Fri, so it will likely be busy, but not a few hundred . . . it will start to slow down after the 1st week or so of Apr.

See you on the trail,

Sweet! thanks for the posts all. I'm going alone so I was hoping to find a few folks to talk to.... or at least someone who will tell me when I'm starting to talk to myself.

Squid-Your posts were awesome. thanks for sharing! No worries, I'm an experienced hiker with a 30 lb pack and plenty of time in the mountains. I'm planning on skipping the approach so that I can get to Damascus by Trail Days.
