Finally made my start date and location decision. Been going back and forth between NOBO early February in GA or NOBO flip-flop from Harpers Ferry in April.

Will start February 2nd at Springer.

My pack will be several pounds heavier due to winter gear but February 2 should keep me ahead of the crowd.

I love winter and cold so excited about starting then but greater potential for getting sidelined due to heavy snow.

Feeling fit and in good shape for 66 year old. Only current issue is right shoulder pain which could prove problematic wearing pack. Ortho Doc trying to help me out.

Only a few more items to get.

The Appalachian Trail (A.T.) is more than 2,175-mile long footpath stretching through 14 eastern states from Maine to Georgia. Conceived in 1921 and first completed in 1937, it traverses the wild, scenic, wooded, pastoral, and culturally significant lands of the Appalachian Mountains. Learn more: www.appalachiantrail.org
