Hello everyone, Heading out first week of April 2015

Each week that passes I get more anxious. Everything is ready to go just have to complete the next few months setting aside some more funds to cover expenses at home that can't be put on hold.

well....good fortune and a few anxious years of planning this...has allowed me to move up my departure date to the first week of March. I know, colder..but I can't wait. Everything is a GO, and I'm ready. Hope to meet you all there.

I'm planning on starting somewhere between March 23rd and April 7th.

glad to see people starting in April I think im going to start the first couple days of April also so I can get a few last paychecks in! Maybe hit Trail days also.

[Mike415]

I was going to start mid March, but I just found out that my daughter got tickets for a Billy Joel concert on April 3rd, so I'll be starting around April 6th or so.

From an up-coming Class of 2016, good luck to you all. Please start and update a Trail Journal of some kind so we can follow ya'll.

A great reason to delay. I've seen him a few times (once with Elton) and he never fails to impress.

I'm planning on April 4th, hopefully I'll see you out there!

Hey, that's my Birthday!

I'll be heading out a bit later than y'all. I'm flying to Atlanta right after Easter to visit with my relatives for a few days, then I'll wait until the best break in weather (or whenever I can bum a ride off some family) to hit the trailhead, most likely between the 10th-13th. Can't wait! Just a bit more saving needed so I don't have to stress about post-trail finances for a little while.

Good luck with the rest of your preparations and savings, I am looking forward to running into y'all out on the trail!

I'm looking to hit the trail between the 1st and 4th of April - i too want to grab up some extra paychecks. Still working out some gear and funding issues. I've been trying to go on mini-training hikes each weekend if anyone is interested in joining up. I'm located in GA.
