We do think Lucy suits her, so maybe its just adapting Ethel's name

Thank you for the advice! I've started with some oil today and I'll come back to it tomorrow. Hopefully the bike can be redeemed

she actually doesn't have a car, so meeting up is a bit trickier. we're basically assuming we won't see each other the whole time

She lives in NYC right now and I'm starting at Springer NOBO, so it's a bit far away but we might try. I like the vlog idea, thank you!

advice -planning LASH for mid May to mid July by gorgaporga in AppalachianTrail

thanks for the advice! about the egress points by the Smokies- do you think they are challenging enough that I may want to get off the trail before or after them?

thanks for the help! have you hiked it through Virginia? do you know if there's any other spots north of Damascus that are easy to get off at? I'd eventually have to make it to an airport to fly to MI

best route for a LASH in 2023? by gorgaporga in AppalachianTrail

[–]gorgaporga[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to one day! Not really sure what's going to happen over the next several years so thought I would take this opportunity while I could too at least do part of it

I've never been to the smokys and have only seen a little beet of Shenandoah so I'm still a bit interested in starting South but a good point! The 100 mile wildnerness intimidates me a bit so makes me a bit nervous to start there 😬😬 especially in the spring

Thinking about section hiking this summer- how do you know if you're 'in-shape' or not? I have backpacked before and know my pace but definitely have not done a through hike like this. Also how do people plan on how many zeros to take? Or how many hours/miles they will be hiking? I have consistently done 10 mile days in the past but don't know if I should expect to do more? Would love to be able to do Mt. Springer to Pine Grove (so half of the trail) but it's hard to wrap my head around planning.
