Many people are asking around trying to find people that will be leaving about the same time as each other.I know the spread sheet(http://whiteblaze.net/index_cmps.php?page=2012thruhikers ) tells me who, but not everyone wants to reach out and make new friends. Hope people will use this Post to introduce them selves and maybe help each other out . just makes for a better ride if you know some of the people before it starts.

I'm not opening this thread for myself but all April Thru-Hiker Departures. Each month should have their own i think.

I know the other thread has this info also but this is the Class of 2012 Forum for registered Thruhikers only. Just trying to help out sorry if I step on any feets.

So if you are looking to meet new friends that are leaving the same time as your I invite you to post .

I'll be heading out on the 25th. Definitely down to mingle with whoever I run into. If I catch up to you, I hope it's more good news for me, not bad news for you.

Not doing approach trail or thru-hike, but will be on trail mid day on the 8th. Sure you will pass me on your way up the trail north, I'll be out there 2 weeks walking.

I am not set on the exact dates, March 20th or so. I will be going from Winding Stair Gap to Fontana Dam. This will complete my section hikes as far north to Dennis Cove.

Hope to see some of you on the trail.

Good Idea Seasparrow!

I will be leaving March 28ish but starting out slow so will probably see you. Im a novice hiker and it will be my first time east of WI (from MN). Look for 3 lads with a guitar strapped to one of their packs parading North. Hope to see you out there! :eek:

I'm registered here as leaving April 3rd, but after finding out a plane ticket was $75 cheaper if I waited a day, I am now leaving the 4th. I'm staying at HH the 3rd and leaving the 4th. Planning on taking it slow the first 2 weeks. Planning on taking 3-4 days to get to Neels Gap.

I'm planning on leaving March 29th most likely. I'm anticipating a slow start. I didn't hike over the winter and let myself get out of shape, you'll probably catch up to me.

Sure this is posted elsewhere but deciding to add to this one as well.

20 days! Solo thru-hike attempt. Doing the approach with 2 friends on the 14th and then headed out on my own on the 15th. I'm social - but also stupidly quiet sometimes. (You would never guess by my forum or blog rambling though). I'll be rocking a dark blue/black kelty bag, orange/grey solitude tent, dark grey shorts, and a white tshirt most of the time. Trying to find the most obnoxiously bright neon bandanna as well.

Say hey! to me, share a swig from the flask, whatever! My goal is to get north so I'll be skipping most if not all of the town/beer/party stops.

Also will be blogging as regularly as possible at underscore-at2012.tumblr.com (so if I ask if I can mention you by trail name online, that's why).

Can't wait to get out there and meet some of ya'll.

Hitting the approach trail April 10, and planning my first month in to get to Damascus just in time for Trail Days. After that, I go wherever my feet take me. Hope to see you out there!
