I'm snowbirding in Florida this year somewhere. I haven't gotten a firm job jet (workcamping) so I'm not exactly sure where. Originally from Missouri, but retired Air Force last Feb and have been full-time RVing ever since. I'm definately NOBO in March; day dependant on the weather.

I'm from Panama City Beach, ex-Army, went thru Ranger school in 1976, with fond memories of the Mountain phase in north GA. Doing all this was sure easier at age 22! One goal of this thru hike is to lose weight.

most likely will start from Springer last week of March, no later than first week April. Will see many of you all on the trail I'm sure. Best of luck to all here.

3 years ago I was reading a fiction book that had a person talk about coming off the A.T. Well I googled the A.T. and long story short I left Fort Lauderdale and moved to Damascus. Anybody from South Florida will understand why lol.

Haha, it's been an odd winter in Florida, for certain.

Hope everyone has a blast on their hikes, thru- or otherwise!
