I don't know how many of you are following the hikers out there but it isn't pretty.
People dropping out, weather has bothered most, injuries. Ect
The journals reflect some tough starts. I think the key is don't start in feb unless
You can handle the cold and the solitude.
It's been sobering for sure.

I was just at Trail Journals and couldn't find yours. I looked for "shlep" and "shelter leopard" and found nothing
What's up with that? You're not planning on keeping an on line journal??

AT hiker : It's the journey, not the destination
I've found thus far the best "journal" has been the audio ones left by Chef Rich at Trailphone.net He's in Franklin now (about NOBO mile 104), hanging around there to watch the superbowl.
What I'd be particularly interested in is any reliable first hand reports by folks making it through the Smokies.
where are the online journals of current thru hikers who have already started?

have the chance to rest/rehab and make another NOBO attempt this year (depending of course on the nature of the injury). I don't mind admitting that being out there now with this kind of relentless cold/snow would be extremely difficult for me and I have the utmost respect for those who are out there and pushing on.

Shlep-you speak my mind. I have a trail journal, but I'm fairly positive I'll be one of those who updates sporadically in random trail towns along the way and won't bother to chronicle every day.

One week before the warmer, yep!
11 DAYS LEFT!!!!!!!!!!! That sound was my head hitting the corner of my desk, as I fainted... (Very excited)
Wow. Car is repaired, oil changed, new glasses have been acquired, food drops for the first month are ready to go, all gear is waiting to be packed (yet again- I was unpacking and repacking a lot for a while there...), all is to wash my car, wash my floor, and a loaf of bread and some cheese for the train, and I am SET!
You 'bout you lillian- in shock???

Nah, I've already gotten the facebook page up and running, and I have no idea how to use twitter (and I don't want to learn, either). But maybe I'll do something on here, update my "location" every time I reach a town and actually get to a computer there...

You know, maybe I will make a trailjournal account. But don't be surprised if it doesn't get updated often. (I may have someone from home update it when I call)
