Congrats to you, Coffee (formerly Hammock Engineer). I never had any doubts you'd make it.
Congrats on the finish, Coffee! That's awesome!

Anything's within walking distance if you've got the time.

Hooch is right, go NOBO this year. Hurry up and get a job and save up for the next 2 months.
Thanks everyone. If I did a Northbound I think it would be more of a flip flop. I was talking to Pirate at Neels gap, the people at cloud9, and standing bear farm. There is no way I want to hike around as many people as there are out there at the start of the rush season. I liked being the only one around or only with my hiking partner and maybe 1 or 2 other people once a week. No way I want to roll into a shelter or hostel and see 30 other people.
What can I say once an anti-social southbounder, always an anti-social southbounder.
I am landing and staying in Atlanta for awhile. Other than the GA AT club are there any good groups or hikes in the area?
Props Coffee!
Congrats!!! Great job, hope to catch you out on the trail!
Congratulations on the finish. You must have been hiking in some REALLY cold weather the last few days. Brrrr.....
congratulations on finishing your thru.
That's a big accomplishment. I've been following your trail journal all the way. Thanks for being so conscientious about posting to it.

Congrats! I've been reading your journal ever since I got home. I'm glad you suceeded!
Hey Coffee! I met you on the Lookout, we shared pudding and cookies and checked out the incredible views.
Congrats on finishing up! Good luck adjusting back to the real world... it's been 3 months since I summitted and I'm still a little loopy.

Coffee, how long are you planning to be in the Atlanta area? We get down there on the SW side pretty frequently (got grand and great-grandkids there)
