BEFORE

I hiked the trail in 2020 and 2022. This time: 

• Better gear. 

• Better health. 

• Better hiking knowledge/experience. 

• Later start = better weather.

I'm headed back to the trail in March with this plan: Hike at AT start (Springer Mtn) North as far as I can go/want to go. Ideally to Harpers Ferry WV (half way - 1027.2 miles).  

I am going to hike North from Springer Mountain in Georgia.

I doubt I'll be able to post updates here while hiking, but I'll be updating my Instagram account (AT Joker) and my spreadsheet.
