The current plan is to start Feb 19th 2015. Looking for person or persons to walk the trail for the first part of the trail.
I may skip the GSMNP, as I have done over half the trails in the park and all but 12 miles of the AT thru the park. I am thinking of doing the JM in the southern part of the park to avoid the high chance of snow and fees. I would pick the AT back up on the east end of the park and on to Hot Springs, Roan Mtn., etc. I am a hiker that takes it one day at a time. I am hiking to see the flora/fona, and to enjoy people, places and things that make America great. When it comes time to walk I walk, maybe not as fast as most. When in camp I want to take time to make good food, rest, enjoy where I am and maybe have some peaceful talks with other hikers. I want to leave the stone and metal daily life of the trail. ( I hate going on a hike and hearing a hiker talk about the city life and the daily grind in "the world"). I want to talk about what I saw that day on the hike, what I saw on a past hike, how my equipment worked and what I can do to make it better.
If you think you might get started this early....welcome and let me know.:sun
