I am currently in the process of planning out an end of high school celebration hike starting from Springer Mountain all the way past the VA border most likely finishing the hike at the Whitetop Laurel Creek Parking Area (still unsure of final destination... our goal is just to break the VA border... any alternate final destination suggestions would be awesome!). This hike is something that me and about 5 other friends are wanting to celebrate our graduation with. Nothing better than doing it in the great outdoors! We have begun researching this and are trying to plan it out (we saw that planning is key on hikes like this). The group of guys that are going are all in top shape (all involved in varsity sports such as lacrosse, cross country, swim team... most are co-captains of teams) and we are hoping to be able to average about 17-20 miles a day. In order to get a good feel for how fast we will be able to hike, we are planning on going on a 4 day hike starting from Springer Mountain to the GA / NC border during our Spring Break to get a good feel for an average daily mileage (we would plan accordingly to our results from this trip). We are giving this trip a little under a months time to hike and are wanting to start late May and finish late June. I am trying to get out a little and talk to thru-hikers or long-distance hikers with experience on the AT in order to get some feedback on this trip in order to aid us and give advice. If you would not mind to take a little time to answer a few questions and give some of your advice on this trip and on purchasing gear that would be awesome! If you would please respond back whether or not you would be willing to share experiences and advice that would be great!<br /><br />Feel free to email or call!<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Daniel Cartin<br />danielcartin@gmail.com<br />678.373.6152Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287798405780882793.post-40467312331831991622010-05-22T21:09:01.867-04:002010-05-22T21:09:01.867-04:00Just stumbled upon and read through your blog; hop...Just stumbled upon and read through your blog; hoping to do a small bit of the trail next month but making it a life-goal to complete it!
