i started my thru hike down at flag mountain alabama march 12.
hiked 300 miles with a hiking partner that i didnt know before starting the hike.
long story short, my partner was a great person but i couldn't keep up (this person was a very experienced thru hiker).
i got off the trail in Dalton, GA.
now i'm back home and sad. I want to start the hike again at Springer.
I know if I don't start within the next week or two, my dream will be that: just a dream.
i've been searching for another hiking partner via this website and going through my home network for the last few weeks to no avail.

i guess this is my last attempt to find a hiking buddy.
i'm too big of a chicken to show at Springer alone. somehow this forum seems a little more comforting than that.

anyone out there in the same position as me? need a hiking buddy?

i would be willing to join people at any point of the trail; doesnt have to be springer because i can always loop back around myself after katahdin.

i was hiking 15-17 miles a day fairly comfortably and was hoping to work up to 20.

holler back if you're interested.
