NOBO bubble?

Hi all,

I'm hoping to do a section hike in mid-March. Any suggestions on where to go? Obviously I'd like to avoid piles of snow but am willing to put up with some. Hoping for something relatively...

I know there a lot of threads going around about bugs and bug repellant, etc. so forgive me for starting another...but I have to ask this and hopefully people will find it helpful.

I know you can get really good deals on some gear online, but when it comes to buying your pack, I recommend going to a store, (REI, ems, etc) and actually trying on and messing around with different...

Thanks for the help everyone!

do you still think i'd be fine getting a spot at the birches if i left at the end of june?

and i've heard there aren't any markings for White House Landing...can...

Me, my brother, and a couple of our cousins are planning to hike from Monson to Katahdin this june and i was wondering if you guys could give me some tips and answer some questions about this trip.
