Direction- SOBO

Approach Trail- Yes
Age-29
State- IN
Start date- mid June
Approx end date- Whenever I get to Springer

Traveling with- Girlfriend
Graduating nursing school, decided to do a SOBO because I wont be able to take the state boards until late May. Figured it'd be the only opportunity I'd have while I was still young. Also plan on moving to Georgia when I graduate so might as well walk there...

[hayner987]

Trail name:none yet
Direction:NOBO
Start date: march 29
Approach trail: doubtful, but I am considering it
Other: I'm hiking this year for the most part as an amateur, Some backpacking and camping experience but I've always been athletic and I'm absolutely obsessed with the idea of a thru hike and actually finishing something. I don't have any option but to finish, I've saved my money, put my life on hold, and will be quitting a pretty good job for this accomplishment. If anybody has advice for me I would appreciate anything at all. Either message me on here, or email at [email protected].
