As much as I'd like to do a thru hike, it's just not in the cards right now. It does look like I'll be able to squeeze in a month and am looking at going from Springer to 25, probably in May. I don't mind a little company but not too much and am guessing May would land between the early Spring Break/NOBO crowds and the summer crowd.
I've done plenty of hiking but nothing on the AT. Does this sound like a manageable distance for a month hike? Transportation isn't an issue if I fall short or overshoot but that seemed like a good mental goal.
Im also guessing that an early May start means I can get by with a 30 bag but won't hit any real heat.
I've done a pile of research but just wanted some feedback from folks who have spent time out there. Awesome site, by the way. Tons of info on here.
