Anyone from Eastern PA MD or NJ area Thru hiking in 2013? I am about an hour from the closest AT trail head. Looking to do some fall/winter shakedown hikes.

Thanks in advance

Hi, Jay. I'm near Philly and looking at a March start. No shakedowns for me, though, alas. I need to work instead, given the chunk of time I won't be working next year.

See you on the trail!

Jay,
I completed my thru-hike this year (2012) but since I still can't find a job, I'm free all the time. I'm always ready to go on a hike and maybe I can answer questions for you about what worked and didn't. Shoot me a message.
