Female NOBO Thru-Hiker Wanted for 2012

[Mockingbird]

Hi all, I'm brand new to White Blaze. I have been planning a NOBO thru-hike for February 1, 2012 with an acquaintance, but she just dropped out. I'm looking for a new female hiking buddy. I do plan to start February 1st because my intent is to make it to Katahdin before September 1st so I can jump right into grad school. I realize it's an early start. If you're interested, please contact me.

Would be willing to start in March if I can either get to ME by the end of August or else start the grad program in January if we're late.
