Hey guys it's been awhile since I posted in the Long Trail forum. Thanks to you I pretty much set on my gear and have been using at all a lot lately. Been up some 4k's in the white mountains.

With the current conditions of the trail, would you rather hike the LT end to end in August or Sept? I know it will be cooler in September but my quilts are rated to 20degrees so I'm not worried about getting cold. I have the option of doing either or. I'll be doing a SOBO hike.

In essence, is there any good reason to hold out until September to start? Could even start mid august. What do ya think?

Regards
