Hi all!
I am thinking of hiking the southern half of the AT, starting in GA, next year. I think it will take me about 10 weeks, give or take a bit. I should be good for 15-20 miles per day.
I'd like to pick a start date that maximizes my chances of hiking in good weather. By good, I mean I'd like to minimize the amount of rainy days I'll have to deal with.
I am thinking early May is probably the answer, but wanted to see what others feel. Since I live near the northern half, I am not as attuned to the weather in the southern states.
Thanks!
