I'm actually shocked how many of you are skipping the approach trail, its 8 miles to the summit of springer ... yet ya'll plan on hiking about 2,200 miles but are skipping the first 8 ? ... lol, sure its nothing really special but seriously ...
Approach Trail - yes, of course.
Not "officially" part of the White blazes. Me - done it before. Not worried about it, other than it may take me a day to complete, which will throw my "official" start date off by a day or so. I'm determined to start on my Mom's birthday. I might not need that day, but who knows................

Trail Name: Oddbird<br>Direction: NOBO<br>Estimated start date: Feb.18<br>Approach Trail: TBD<br><br>Well, they say you have to hike your own hike, and this will definitely be my own. I will be hiking gluten free and dairy free, which seems to eliminate a lot of the trail rituals. I guess it will be a paleo walkabout <br><br>
i'm vegan thus hiking vegan. so i've been contemplating how my diet will effect my hike and my hike will effect my diet. you don't have the "no meat" restriction, but i just wanted to let you know i understand your plight (perhaps more so). hehe good luck! and hopefully i'll see you on the trail.
