I am a 32 year old female, married hiker looking for a partner to hike a 500 mile section with me next May, 2018, starting in Georgia. I understand that there are still plenty of people along the trial at most times. But this is for both me and my husbands peace of mind. My goal is to get to Virginia, and hopefully then some. I have minimal long-distance hiking experience, but will be doing several shake-down hikes between now and next year. I'm pretty easy going, and and a thoughtful planner. If this is a start date that is doable for you, please let me know. Thanks!
