Need a buddy for July

[JessOSU321]

Hey, My name is Jess, I'm 24/f. I'm looking to meet up with someone sometime in early July (after the 4th). My schedule is pretty open, so I plan on hiking for awhile, but I'd love to have someone to start out with. I'm open to hiking anywhere, north or south, just as long as I get out there! I'm really laid back, in decent shape, and soooo excited about doing this!

Hey Jess: I'm hiking from Elk Park, NC to Bland, VA on July 9 - 3 girls, two guys - we have a little crew - we hiked the Long Trail together last year - you could tag along if you like. We do like to do fairly ambitious days - 15-20 range but we peace out too. P/M me if you want.

I'm planing on some hikes this summer, and have one potential partner from whiteblaze (another 20somethign male)

my days are pretty ambitious, but I'm not in particularly good shape at the moment. And I just got a rescue dog that will probably come along.

I'd probably like to do SW VA, maybe some of NC/TN.

Just a personal recommendation--the southern and northern sections of the trail are more scenic than the middle part of the trail.

I'll be getting started in the first week of July for my SOBO thru. I'll probably take it easy through the 100 Mile wilderness then pick it up a bit. I am hoping to do the entire thru in 5-5.5 months

I'm a 27m and coming solo from Florida.

I'll be out SOBO from Damascus to Erwin July 6 to 14. 51/M
