NOBO- April 4th.......
Howdy, 2008'ers!
Hey y'all! I'm taking the bus from Austin, Texas to get into Gainesville on April 16; I booked the ticket this morning. I can't wait to meet everyone. I've been looking forward to this trip since my first trip into the Smokies in 1997... I obviously put it off too long!
No trail name yet, but I look forward to getting initiated.
Be safe, and happy trails.

You never know just what you can do until you realize you absolutely have to do it.

yeah, i'm that guy who still sports a kelty trekker external frame. yeah i know it's heavy and i can go a lot lighter, but i'm kind of a cheapskate. so i'll see you out there, and if anyone wants to donate to save the will, be my guest (dinner is an acceptable payment)
It's looking like March 30-31 for me.
March 28th
NOBO
Approach Trail - we'll see
Will be at the hostel 26th or 27th, without seeing maps or with much of a plan. In very poor shape but have started long hike badly before and finished. I know so little about the terrain and I have no maildrops.
All company welcome, especially sherpas, pack mules etc...

Start Date: June 1, 2008
End Date: November 1, 2008
"I didn't come here to climb mountains... I came here to hike!"
or
"The only difference between hikers and bikers is... one letter!"
Jogle, other than a few concerns, sounds as though you are as we say "GOOD TO GO!!!
See you out there.
been lurking on here for a while, but I suppose that I should take the time to declare my intentions...
heading Southbound starting in the middle of June.

A bit of an alternative itinerary: I knocked off the miles from the James River Footbridge (VA) to Caledonia SP (PA) to hopefully avoid the Virginia Blues (and the winter blahs from starting too early at Springer).
earlier start date
I'll be leaving a week earlier. 3/26
