headed to spinger

[Sierra2015]

so do i, but i stand up for myself now, and i dont let people with {tree names} bully me!

Haha, I enjoy a little bit of victimization. Makes me feel validated and superior when I take the high road.

On a more serious note, bullied is as bullied feels. At least, that's what Forest Gump's mama would have said.

Have fun. Looks like it's going to be a chilly start.

Hey there happy! Fellow Ohioan here! Good luck!!!!!!

[Sara]

Good luck and maybe I'll run into you at Trail Days!

[Marmaduke]

i live in Cleveland OH, where i dont even have a coat, 25 seems warm to me, im a very warm hiker but cold sleeper, i have a 15 degree bag so i should be good!

I'm in North Royalton! We have been getting the cold this year...........25 is warm!! I am so excited to hear a local hiker is headed to the AT. I'll be in SNP on 4/18 and in VT on the AT/LT in early august! Hopefully I can offer you some angelic assistance!

Hey Happy - good luck, west central Ohio here and still cold with snow here....+1 on buying a jacket before starting, it will be worth the weight to not be shivering for 3-4 weeks. Will be in the Whites and Maine in early August. HYOH !!

[Happy44]

Good Luck Happy from one of "them people". It is nice to have something to "cool down" in (a jacket) at the end of the day.

just got home from Amicalola Falls SP to Neels Gap section hike this past weekend. Top of Springer was jammed with dayhikers on Saturday, first nice warm weekend in a while. Folks at Mountain Crossings said the logbook was signed by approx. 45 nobo thru-hikers as of this weekend. Hawks Mtn Shelter on Sat nite had approx. a dozen for the night. Water is flowing excellent up there in all springs and creeks right now. Best of luck to class of 2014!

Good Luck, enjoy your hike, I am also planning on driving down from Charlottesville,VA on Sat.and meeting some old friends at Amicolola Falls. We are planning to do some hiking and provide some trail majic at woody gap. If anyone is going that way and needs a ride and willing to share gas money PM me. Tic Toc

[CarlZ993]

Good luck.

Remember, don't stop hiking north unless something is in a cast. Then decide if that appendage can tag along for the ride.

[Toasted Toad]

Have a great hike. Twenty seven more days till I hit the trail.

I'm from boston, don't wear a coat at home either . mountain cold is different and wet mountain cold is another. wet mountain cold with mountain wind on the ridge is another. you are outside 24 hours a day, it's different, but have fun!
