I'm sure it been asked before but in the opinion of those that have SOBO on the AT what would you say is the safest and earliest date to start from Harper's ferry.? I have no set time to complete my hike south. I've even considered trying to find some kind of work in GA till I could start back North. I have all my equipment been buying for a couple of years and am starting to set money aside. I'm not in the best of health but know my limits, so I would have to take a couple 0 days on the trail it would not hurt my feelings.
