Good Day.
A quick update on my status. Started on the Feb 12 on the Approach trail. Made it to Neels Gap, then I fell and broke my Clavicle and 1st rib, so I'm off trail for a bit. I think I will go with Killdeer for a trail name when I get back on.

Hopefully everyone is seriously considering postponing their NOBO attempts or are considering flipping to a SOBO attempt in a few months?

Well my intentions were to do a traditional thru-hike South to North starting on April 1st, just how I started on my first thru hike in 1980 40 years ago.
However, with the pandemic of Covid - 19, that itinerary had to be changed and I have a new start date of May 30th and will be doing a "flip-flop" hike,
starting in SNP at Big Meadows to Katahdin and then Big Meadows south to Springer Mtn.
I will be monitoring the situation and if the pandemic relinquishes it's grip on our nation, I will set sail as planned. If it doesn't well there's always next year
I am curious as to how many thru-hikers this year are changing their itineraries as well?
Happy Trails,

Covid plan change:
SoBo
June 1 or when Katahdin (and the AT) opens up.
Fingers crossed
This thread is just the 2020 registry thread, posts concerning trail status have been moved to this thread: How will coronavirus affect hiking this year?
