Southbounders, I was wondering if you get Katahdin Fever the following year similar to how NOBO's get Springer Fever? Like, literally, do you have dreams of starting at Katahdin again? Also, for most of the NOBO's I talk to on a regular basis Springer Fever season is usually January to March. That's usually the time the uncontrollable urge to buy gear you don't need so you can rejigger your pack for a hike you are not going to do sets in. If Katahdin Fever exists, which it would be odd if it didn't I guess, does it set in later since your starting time was later? Fever is to be differentiated from the daily pang to put on the pack and get out there. That never goes away.
