Ok all I know that it is a ways away but I am looking for a group of hangers that would be interested in tackling 133-206 miles of the AT in the summer of 2014. I am unable to do it this summer due to the fact that I am in the middle of southwest Asia sweating my *** off defending freedoms of people back home in the grand US of A. I am looking to get a group of people that seriously want to take on a section of the Appalachian Trail starting at Springer Mountain GA. Hopefully there are some people out there that are up for the challenge, I figure if we start planning now our game plan would be solid by the time the trip actually rolls around.

What time frame are you looking at? Early Summer or late? Do you have a beginning date in mind? Are you looking at a particular goal for daily mileage?I might be able to join you for a week, but that entirely depends.

It really all just depends, im looking at an average of 10 miles and that would be at worst. I plan on doing from springer mountain to Gatlinburg. It will probably be late May early June that was its not blazing hot just yet and not freezing cold either

Starting Thru-hike June 8th and hiking NOBO from Georgia but only doing half the trail due to college in the fall. Looking for some people to go with.

So we are looking how many days to hike those miles. I'd have to get a bunch if shifts covered and depending on dates, i could maybe do it. My wife may even let me go. We live in maryville. I'd be potentially able.
Thanks for your service. I completed Springer to Fontana Dam last year and will hike from Fontana to Erwin, Tn the last week of May and the first week of June.

My minimum mileage/day is 18 in the rain. I wish you all the best of luck. Maybe I'll see you out there briefly.
