Changing my info!

New start date: March 20th
Approach Trail: No

Town clothes, no. Sleep clothes, yes. You want a pair of dry clothes to sleep in when you get to camp just in case you get wet. I don't wear them unless I am wet, I just sleep in my hiking clothes.

Trail name: Spotter
Direction: NOBO
Start Date: Feb 13th
Approach Trail: Yes

Every year the number of people on the trail increases. 2022 will be no different. If you wait for the number of people to decrease, you'll never do a thru.

I have a friend SOBOing currently. He was wondering if anyone knows what the hut situation is for thru hikers. Are they allowing work for stays this year? Doing lunch? Or are the basically having...

The black flies and mosquitos in Maine can be horrendous for early SOBOs. I started on June 5th 2019 and they were so bad that we all had to keep our headnets on unless we were in our tents. Long...

Wow! Awesome!

I plan to be NOBO in 2022, but I'm planning on starting at the southern terminus of the Pinhoti and connecting it with 72 miles of the BMT to start my NOBO on the AT. So I don't have...

Does anybody know what the average nighttime temps are toward the end of February on the trail?

I have done over 300 miles on the AT this year. Had to have knee surgery so now I'm recovering from that, but finally was allowed to get out last weekend to hike again so I did a 10 mile backpacking...

So awesome you are putting a spreadsheet together!
Just to update, my trail name is the same as my username. It was left blank on the spreadsheet.

It's never a failure when you've learned from it! Have fun!

So the other victim did not survive. Very sad.

I agree. Why haven't they said anything about his condition? It's very odd. Even if he has died, why hide this from the public? But if he hasn't died then even more, why not tell us? This whole...

I'm not saying any of this isn't true. Just that posting hear say before confirmed information is released isn't a good thing. Every bit of this may be true. It may not. But the guy has been caught...

I'm talking about speculating he has stabbed numerous people. Rumors spread faster than a wildfire and this is how it happens.

And here begins the rumor mill.

I think he may have lost his marbles.
Earlier he deleted that whole post rambling about the closing. Then he made a post that simply said "Give it up Bob." Two hours later he deleted that post too....
