Need a Thru 08 partner

[Bogeara]

I was concerned about the same thing. I've been planning for months and had no one to travel with except my dog. Everything I've research says the same thing, "Don't worry about it". Thiis is my first thru hike and I'm actually going to take the advice of the experienced hikers. Hopefully there will be plenty of folks that I can travel with along the way. I'm looking at this as two adventure in one; the hike itself and meeting my new friends. I hope this will help you in knowing that you aren't alone in your feeling.

This will be my first thru-hike as well. I can't find anyone else who has enough time to take off from work or school to go with me. except my dog of course. I'm starting Sobo in May if anyone's interested.

Johnny, have you ever done a long distance hike? Like months on a trail like the AT?

I noticed in all the back and forth here that a question was asked and not answered. Just curious why. Seemed like a relevant question given the discussion.

I spent 12 years between my first college class at age 17 and a degree. Sadly, none of those years were spent on the AT, but they included a lot of walking.

That left just enough time for a useful life, before it all got boring to both me and my bosses, so I quit to do other things, like hiking the AT and protecting the AT.
