Hello everyone, First, let me just thank any of you, well, and all of you, who helped me the two times that I have section-hiked and any of you that have helped newbies, like me, over the years. I am hiking this year. I am leaving next Tuesday for Springer. I have section-hiked portions of N.C., TN and VA twice in the last 7 years. I have an opportunity right now, which may not last for long at all, to go for it. I want to see how far I can get before October the First. I am familiar with most trail etiquette, but I could use an update and refresher. My Brother has also sectioned many times more than I and is giving me all of his advice. However, I want to hit the TRAIL with the intention of getting as far as I can before the weather and finances preclude the trip. Anything. Anything you can give me about the AT this year will be greatly appreciated. Lord-willing, maybe I will see some of you these next few months. Sincerely,Pack ON (Art)
