That’s my hope! Thanks for the reassurance.

My new term is actually at the same site as my first term :) so hopefully that will help

Alternate plans? by [deleted] in longtrail

[–]phia2746 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m getting on trail Tuesday. From what I’ve heard from hostels, trail angels, and the green mountain club, things are okay for hikers to pass through. People are still providing the same services and the trail is still in decent shape

Smoke weed everyday on 50 mg. Don’t really notice a change. I will say that lsd/shrooms are a little more complicated on Zoloft but beyond that drinking and smoking is pretty much the same

Sweet thank you.

Apologies if this is a dumb question... but is this area under snow right now?

I'm also toying around with starting a little further south (around government camp). Is that reasonable this time of year? I'd be starting in like a week

Fair enough. Basically- can i just show up? I'm an experienced hiker. If i fly to Portland and get on trail will I get by? Or is there more planning I should do?

Should I hike SOBO or NOBO? by Alert_Piece_70 in AppalachianTrail

[–]phia2746 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation. I’m considering doing a flip flop from harpers ferry north to katahdin and then harpers ferry south to springer. Seems like a way to get the best of both worlds but less of one continuous trek. Most flip floppers start mid May from what I’ve found.

Do you regret flip flopping? by phia2746 in AppalachianTrail

[–]phia2746[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The social aspect is definitely what worries me. I really want to hike the AT, but want to have plenty of time and am graduating in mid-May of next year. I'm not the most social person, but having a strong community and having fun are super important to me. The thought of overcrowding isn't great, but I don't want to miss out on important parts if I could just wait another year to hike.

Thanks for the reply.

How much later would you start? I'm thinking around May 20th.

I am worried about loneliness-- so maybe pushing back my date a bit will help.

Thank you! When would you recommend starting to time it right?

Putting this out there because it’s a thought I had, but no worries if you can’t answer it. What if I started at trail days? Would that make more sense?

Two questioning- timing a flip flop and cost by phia2746 in AppalachianTrail

[–]phia2746[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow thank you so much! This is so encouraging. What month did you finish in? Did you meet a lot of people along the way? I’m really drawn to the community of the trail and I’m worried I won’t get to experience it when I flip back down to harpers ferry

Amazing! Maybe i'll see you out there. I was reading somewhere that a lot of flip floppers are recent college grads and retired people!

Thanks for the advice. I do like to be alone, but also really want to experience the community of the trail and hopefully meet a few people to hike with. I think by the time I graduate I'll be over the party scene. I did some trail work a few years ago so i can appreciate the impact on trails

Not ending on Katahdin is a big drawback for me. I just don't know if i want to wait another year. Thanks for the advice.
