After a number of years section hiking north from Springer mountain, while also working, I’ve made it as far north as Culvers gap, N.J. I now have the opportunity to make the remainder of the trail from Culvers gap to Katahdin my largest and last section. I’ve been looking at historical weather (rain and temperature) averages and it seems mid to late April will be a good time to start north from Culvers gap. Does that seem like a reasonable time to those living in that area and familiar with the weather? Any downside to starting north from Culvers gap the time of the year? Thanks all!
