Change of plans. Due to new time constraints, I'll be starting at Harper's Ferry mid April for a flip-flop instead of a SM to K on April 6th. See you on the trail.

Tweaking the hike based on some observations from last year, when I left the trail in Damascus. People ask, why not start where you left off. I say, what the hell fun is that?

Hey there! No trail name yet, but the real world calls me Miranda. I will be heading NOBO on March 16th after spending a night in Gainesville and shuttling to the approach trail. Anyone want to share a shuttle ride?

I'll also be starting out on the 9th. Was supposed to be leaving April 21st, then realized I just can't wait that long! See you out there!

Over 200 for next year! Check out the spreadsheet here. If any corrections or updates are needed, please let me know.

Don't forget to also register with ATC. (I believe the registration should be open now, but, for some reason, ATC's webpage is offline as I post this?!?)

Good Luck and Have Fun everyone! (Next year is almost here!)
