Let's hike together on March 16th!

[mirandaminer]

Hey there! I have had my heart set on a NOBO thru-hike for quite some time now, but my original partner has backed out due to a job opportunity (Great for him!). Unfortunately, my parents aren't comfortable with me going on this adventure alone and I would enjoy having someone to share it with as well.

I will be riding the Greyhound to Gainesville, GA and staying in a hotel there on March 15th. On the 16th I have arranged for a shuttle to pick my future partner and I up at 9:30 AM at the hotel and drop us off at the approach trail. If you're interested give me a shout and we can start getting to know each other and making some plans!

If you don't get any responses, I don't think you'll have any problem finding a hiking partner on the Trail with a March 16th start date and you certainly won't be hiking alone. See you on the Trail!

I'm starting March 13! I'll be rather quick paced, but I don't doubt we may see each other on the trail at one time or another!

Gig 'em and happy trails!

That's my birthday :D If I wasn't taking classes currently I'd love to. Have to wait until early May, though

I've tentatively been planning on flying in on the 17th to start the 18th but could bump it up possibly.

Happy Hiking,

I'm starting first week in April - flexible start date. I live two hours from Springer, so I'm playing it by ear right now - awaiting final gear selections and making sure my body is ready! See you on the trail!!

Anyone starting in that timeframe? Give me a shout....
