Any 50something year youngins' interested in a section hike in May. Looking to do 13-16 mile days for about 10 days. Open to most anything. Would like to hike south of mid CT.

aarrgh, I turn 50 in 2 months. I was hoping to have the trail completed by now. I started when I was 20.

50 sure is looking younger than I ever remember it

what concerns me is that the last 50 years has flown by.
Can't do May. I have to wait until July. Long wait.
bah humbug, age is just a number.... I remember feeling old when I turned 40 lol. My husband gave me a kiddy birthday party at McDonalds... I hoped to be done with the AT by 60... but looks like I'll still be working on it in my 70s. Jodannajr, if you'd consider hiking with an old lady, I am hoping to be hiking western VA the end of April, first couple of weeks of May - up to Traildays. I have about 250 miles I hope to do. PM me if interested.

Thanks for the invist to hike along with you but I think you are going to be a bit further south than I can travel at this time.
Old is just in the mind on the owner. Thats why the topic is "Calling all 50ish Youths", Youths should have been underscored.

I started when I was 18 and finished in 2007 and I'm sure I don't hold the record. Keep on hiking!
Wow! I was going to be doing my next section in May, now I am not due to a big change at work. (I changed employers).
May of 2010 is in the planning stage, so keep me in mind for around then.
FWIW: I would like to start in Atkins VA. But pretty much anywhere N of there is OK by me.
