Hey guys whats up.
For the longest time I have been wanting to do a thru-hike. Since i was a little cub scout in pack 10. Over the years in Boy Scouts and threw my own experiences I have finally decided to "try" and plan a thru-hike for March 2012. I have made most of my gear and love every second I have on the trail.
The only thing I am worried about is leaving School, Family and My Sweet girlfriend for so long. If I could get some input on what I can say or do to make it better for them. Also here are are some other questions:
Do students take time off to do AT Thru-hike?
Ill be 20 in August but my parents are tying to tell me that I cant thru-hike solo, what do I do?
Is it ok to thru- hike solo?
Thank you for your time and Ill hopefully see some of you on the trail someday.
