i'm likely starting the afternoon of the 6th, morning seems unlikely given my ride's schedule. Skipping the approach trail. Looking forward to seeing everyone out there.

I will end up doing the approach trail on the 6th. See you all out there.:)
I'm planning to leave from Springer first thing in the morning, Tuesday, March 7.

I was going to skip the approach too but honestly if I do the whole thing I don't want to feel like I need to go back and do it. Baptism by fire!

I'll be staying somewhere close on the 4th, and rising early on the 5th to get this thang started. Can't wait to see y'all out there.

Sounds like you folks will be a few days ahead of us, but my wife and I and another couple are hitting the trail at Springer on March 9th. Look for 4 old farts.... 59, 60, 65 and 68 years old.
trail names: Stockings, Rocket, Plus-one and Minus-one
I'm planning to leave from Springer first thing in the morning, Tuesday, March 7.
Or maybe not. I just learned I may need to have hernia surgery before I start. Will know for sure in a few days.

I was planning on starting early march, but logistics and finance dictate I will not be able to start until mid April. I'll be starting April 17th. See you guys at trail days I suppose!

For recent TJ entries, it sounds like it's getting busy down there already. And a cold start with the artic blast this weekend, but it shouldn't last long. We'll be back into the 40's here in NH by Tuesday.
