I've been reading as much here as possible to answer questions, but figure it's time to start posting some.
First, our general plan. It'll be me, my wife and dog. Planning a flip-flop type hike starting in VA or Harpers Ferry around the beginning of May, heading to ME by the end of August, and flipping back southbound to GA by the end of October. Seems like this will put us in the sweet spot season wise, and will avoid some of the crowds? Will we likely miss the mud in VT and the flies further north? How about temps? Can we go up a range in sleeping bag temps?
We're going to have a thousand questions, but I'll start with those.
