Hello All,
I am seeking a 2012 AT thru partner to START the trail with; either gender works for me. I really want to hike solo so that I can have independence to pack up when I want, camp where I want, and generally move at my own pace. My family is on board with this hike but continue to insist that I “hike with a partner or bring the dog”. So in an effort to provide them piece of mind I figured I’d check on Whiteblaze to see if anyone else desires a similar hiking style where we can be solo but have a pre established partner to do check ins with every now and then. It would be nice to show my Mom I have a designated hiking partner before I head out the door so the woman doesn’t have to worry so much.
I’m a 24 year old female, very strong but hoping to start slow with 6-8 mile days for the first week or so before pushing up in miles. I currently live in Maine around the Acadia area and will be moving to VA in October 2011. I’m hoping for a start date in early March. Give me a holler if you’re interested or just want to meet up for some hiking before then.
