I am planning a section hike next spring in anticipation of thru-hiking in 2005. At this time we plan about 10 days with one resupply. My goal is to get a feel for the trail. I am an experienced backpacker but can't clear 5-6 months in 2004. I am familiar with the trail in New Hampsire and Vermont.

My question is "What is a good, representative section?" I am looking at Springer to Dick's Gap or Bly's Gap and back out US76. I want to see and learn trail conditions in the southern portion of the trail.

Would you recommend some other area?

Thanks!
