I'll be at the falls on the 22nd and Springer by the 23rd. It's so close I've got butterfly's. Are you going early?

Ya got a decent job so it was alot easier saving for this venture. That last sentance of my previous post was false, my dad calmed down quite a bit he was pissed at first though haha but its all good. Ya ill be arriving there the 26th, taking good ol greyhound i figure riding the bus for a day and half, i will be ready to walk. Hope to see ya out there and good luck

That is a great start date - don't let the nay-sayers on here get you down - you'll hit some snow and cold for sure but you'll have the jump on the pack and some company out there for sure. I'd try to loose a little of that pack-weight by March but HYOH and go for it. Have a great one and PM me if you get in a bind in GA / NC somewhere.

[skypup888]
