Congrats perhaps our paths will cross.
Another 2014 AT thru-hiker taking significant specific steps towards embarking on and completing their thru-hikes. Have a great journey Austin.
Being motivated by this post and other things lining up as perfect timing, I handed in my resignation today also... I'll be out there sometime during the last week of March.
Submitted my resignation today. March 25th is my last day. Will see you all out there!
I think that a thru hike on the AT is a BIG resume builder from my view, albeit biased
GO CRUSH IT...........plus its really hot in Austin, go out and enjoy some change of seasons.
My resignation goes in 2/24 for an end date of 3/7. After 12 years of IT work, countless years of being woken up out of bed...its over. Retired. I've already donated virtually everything, am edging toward selling literally everything else, and living in a hammock until a new era dawns on me.
See you all out there!
Stacey,
Good for you. There is power in your dream, and it can define your future. I wish you all the best! I start 2 days behind you, so I will be reading your log entries all the way to Maine!
Woo Woo!!! That's awesome. I told my job I was going to quit right around this time...and it was AWESOME. If you are serious about doing the trail, you'll love it. Just keep on pushing. Every day is amazing.
You'll be out there a couple weeks ahead of me, so I doubt we'll cross paths, but I wish you the best.
Just gave my notice in yesterday - last day of work on March 7 - leave for Georgia on March 21 -
Holy Crap - it's happening!

I agree, quitting my job and training for this hike is liberating. I start my hike March 1
I agree, quitting my job and training for this hike is liberating. I start my hike March 1. Fun times ahead for us.
I too am envious of both your freedom and panache.
Hike well. Take your time. Enjoy every step.
