The drive down south is getting REAAAAALY long for me, so I've decided to finish the southern piece of the trail next spring, tentatively in April.
Obviously, the class of 2008 will be all over that bit of trail.
If it were up to you, would you go NOBO or SOBO? I have no real preference. I've often thought it would be fun to leave with some thru-hikers, but then when I really think that through...I don't know. I like to camp with people, but I really prefer to hike alone.
I can go earlier, but I need to be here for my husband's birthday on April 6. I'm cold tolerant and not heat tolerant, so advice to go earlier will be seriously considered.
Thanks for your input!
