Alright, so my deal: i want to hike the AT. Ha, no kidding you say. i won't be doing the whole thing. i live in Massachusetts and go to college close to where the AT and Interstate 90 cross, so shall be starting there around June 1st and targetting around 15 miles a day, hopefully.
My dilemma: None of my loved ones want me to walk alone and i have no friend's who can come with me to Maine. Is there anyone doing something similar that wouldn't mind me tagging along with them or meeting up with them somewhere alone the way. Even if i can meet up and be with some hikers most of the way, i feel like it would ease their minds considerably. Or even anyone with information to calm the mind's of those who worry about me. OR is hiking alone actually such a bad idea but i'm just being stubborn because i reeeeally want to go.
Thank you WhiteBlaze and thanks to those who have any information to offer, i appreciate it all.
