My brother and I are staying at the AT lodge the night before and starting on the 5th as well. Good to know at least one other person is starting on the same day.

I have an IPhone and I can also not see the subforums when using the app.
Great idea, didn't know how many SOBOs there would be all together.
Trail name: None yet, I just think it would be better for others to pick one for me. Just Chris until then
From: A town just...
Until I am given one, Chris.
