Hi All! It all began in Iraq, reading "A walk in the woods" and dreaming about green things...fast forward a few years, add a lucky break and I have my chance. This year I am leaving the AF just in time (thank you FY 10 Force Management Program!!!)to get a decent start on a Thru hike! I plan on leaving solo in early April and am interested in other hikers leaving around the same time. I'm looking for someone who wants to start of kinda slow (10ish miles a day)then pick it up to 20 or so. I'm going to start NOBO, but may flipflop (I really need to go to my little sisters graduation in Maine in mid-late june; might as well just start SOBO then...)

Hi Andrea

Great to you're thinking about the hike.

NOBO is the better idea if you can do it (could be pretty cold going the other way).
