So I'm planning on starting at Springer here in the next two weeks or so, and I'm not sure how far I'm gonna go but I don't have any other obligations right now and enough money so who knows? Any tips on starting this late in the season? I have plenty of warm gear and a +20 Kelty Cosmic with a fleece liner so I think I should be ok at least until the winter really kicks in. I've also read that the fall hike can be even better because of no bugs/snakes and amazing views of the leaves changing colors and extended views once the leaves fall. Any thoughts are much appreciated.
