My best friend and old college roommate is planning on going with me but I am not going to count on it since departure is still 18 months away. I have found in life that I can rely on people less and less, its sad really.

Still planning your trip? I still want to go but alas, I have to wait until I'm able to take 5 or 6 months off work. Unless I lose my job, I have to wait until I retire(15 years from now). I would like to meet up with you and hike with you for a while when/if you reach New Hampshire. Keep me informed on your plans when the time gets closer. I follow a few blogs each year from hikers on the trial. Kinda fun to keep track of their progress.

I am still planning on going as of right now. So far the only thing i am really concerned about is the budget. I am planning on quitting my job so I have to save a ton before I set out. I am still about $2K shy of what I need plus I have about $900 worth of gear I still have to get.

I will keep the whole group posted on progress plus I would love company and any one who wants to is welcome to join me for any part of the hike.

He look at me, then around and said "hiking it alone" then walked off with a wave. There is no way I could do that alone, but it is on my bucket list as well.

I used Startpage and typed in "hiking the Appalachian Trail". Maps, clothes, food, shelter...all came up. A 2000 mile walk is too serious an undertaking (could have chosen a better word) to ask a bunch of old guys who ride a girl's bike.
