good luck to you
I was looking to do Springer to NC in August or September if you are still looking and I live in Central Florida as well.
I did this section two years ago (Approach trail to Clingman's). Started out with a partner, but she had knee issues and got off the trail about 30 miles in... I had met several people and continued traveling on... while I didn't hike during the day with people, we met up every evening. You will too!
I am planning on a Sept 11 start from Clingmans Dome to Springer. Trying to finish off the Southern section I haven't been on before.

Park has had several shelters S. of Clingmans Dome closed and am Hoping that will be better by the time I start. Sorta puts a cramp in my plans as now stands.
Hurricane Florence disrupted my hiking times, but, have rescheduled to start at Winding Stair Gap to Springer starting Oct 24th if anyone is interested.
The Way I Get To Where I'm Going Is To Walk Away From Where I've Been.
