Well I made reservations today for the Hiker Hostel for March 1, 2010. I will spend the night there and do the approach trail and stay at the Springer Mtn Shelter on March 2. And start the AT Thru Hike on March 3. Is there any one else planning around these dates.
I have also been working on a shelter schdule and plan to make it to NewFound Gap by the end of March. Is this being too optomistic or should I add a few days. Also for the over all planning about what is the average Zero days. I plan on a total average of 13 miles per day for the whole trip from GA to Me but I am also aware that I am not really sure what I am getting into.
I am also sitting here sorta feeling that all this planning is pointless but I must admit I am learning alot about the trail as I do the planning.
later
