I am a freshman in college and my goal is to thru hike the entire AT.
My biggest dilemna is when to do it.
After college I will hopefully be working, so the only time I can envision myself having the time to hike it is during college sometime.
I was wondering was worked for everyone else. When did you find time to hike it?
I'm thinking between undergrad and grad school.
The second dilemna is whether I should go SOBO or NOBO. I want to go NOBO because of the fellowship of other hikers and the experience. But that would require me to take 2 semesters off college. If I went SOBO I could manage to only take off one semester.
Is NOBO worth it?
