Thanks so much for the info...Cooker! :-) I've stewed (sorry ;-)) about this trail since our AT hike...and have been thinking about something to do in the spring for a few months...something away...

Wife & I flip-flop thru'd in '15 (Those Flippin' Milanders).

We passed the "start?" of the Allegheny Trail in Central/Southern VA.

I remember looking up that poorly-kept trail and...

"Those Flippin' Milanders" Update - In Cherokee for supplies and a bed (if you come here wanting a beer, DON'T get a room within the reservation :-p). Final push starts tomorrow...about 200 miles and...

Sweet Roll is the young blonde with boucou tats & piercings...whole family is really nice. Glad to hear Spice decided to keep on...she'll probably catch us within the next month. Never did run in to...

"Those Flippin' Milanders" update - Made it to Damascus today, taking a zero tomorrow in Abingdon with uncle...might bike the creeper to get a little work-out in. Southern VA has been nice...much...

Start place: I still like the Shen. Park for us because of nearness to family/friends, and more "relaxed" miles before ruggedness begins in PA. Ease of access by train makes HF yet more appealing to...

Batona was still on a week ago (passed her in the southern Shen. Park). Heard from a great yoyo'er (Giuseppe) that Spice was definitely going to flip south and Bourbon was not sure (he summited...

Grampie...I think the numbers are still in favor of alternative (flip) throughs. Nobos are around 25% completion, sobo's @ about 45%...and flipper's at over 60%.

Laurie, our experience on Katahdin was similar to Sling Shot's. Thru's were all business. It was day hikers, etc that were dumping garbage and throwing poop stained kleenex all over the place. We got...

Laurie...I think JJ has it right. We started about the 10th in central Shenandoah Park (swift run), so got to HF about a week before this year's FF thing. If I was starting from HF, I think mid-April...

Hey JimmyJam...remember reading that pages back but for some reason always get you & Slingshot mixed up. We'll be south of Pearisburg in a week or so, maybe run in to you? Was great seeing you @...

"Milanders" Update - In Troutville and still going strong. Well..."strong" in the relative sense. DangerDave, it's been durned schweaty-hot!

One thing for future flipper's to consider...relative...

Will definitely!

"Those Flippin' Milanders" Update - Back in VA after a relaxing drive down the coast sightseeing. Some of you might have met (or hiked with) Batona. She summited Katahdin a few days after Bourbon &...

"Those Flippin' Milanders" Update - Heading back to VA to start south from Swift Run Gap after consuming some lobsters and seeing some friends and family on the drive down. Planning on slacking the...

"Those Flippin' Milanders" Update - In Monson @ Lakeside for a zero before the final northern push to the great mountain. LS & Shaws both rock...if you stay here, you can still go over to Shaws for...

Flippin' Milanders update...@ Pine Ellis Hostel (recommended), going to slack a few days here in the Andover area to recover from the brutality (vanquished) of the Whites & Mahoosics. Had our first...

Flippin ' Milanders update...made it to Nauman camp (Mitzpah) last eve to find t-storms expected on Washington for the next 2 days. Bailed down to Crawford and will take our zero a few days early in...

Tenting @ the Welcome Hiker hostel, gearing up to climb Moose-Poo-laki.

Those Flippin' Milanders...

Best thing about a N to S flip is that you miss extreme cold (&#s) on either side. Screw NOBO or Sobo...go Bobo! :-)

...should summit K around August 10...turn-around...south with fast legs after doing the roughest parts...should summit Springer no later than Halloween. ..

We started our flip north early April from the Shenandoah Park. We are moving somewhat slowly but are now heading soon in to the whites...probably still 2-3 weeks ahead of the monster NOBO bubble....

Sorry to hear for both of you (JimmyJam & Treehugger)! :-(

We are currently sitting @ the bar of the Inn @ Long Trail trying to erase the gluteal soreness caused by that lengthy slog up Killington...

Hey Danger, Slingshot & JimmyJam...look for Scott Jurek in a few days. He passed us this morning @ about Manchester and (I think) is still averaging around 50 miles per day...should be in your...

He passed "Those Flippin' Milanders" @ around 10:30 am today @ about NOBO mile 1646.2 (just north of the William B. Douglas shelter). Seemed to be in good spirits...and still great shape. He even got...
