I thru-hiked last year, Apr 10 to Sep 11. I'm wishing you luck. I'll be re-living all my experiences while reading your blog. Sounds like you're almost past Neels Gap. It's nice leaving Blood Mountain behind you (despite the view), 'cause once you're North of Neels Gap you're past the bear problems 'till the Smokies. Speaking of the Smokies, hope you stay warm and luck out with the weather - I think you're crazy for starting this early, but HYOH as always.<br /><br />Wish I was out there with you.Pink Floyd, NoBo 2011https://www.blogger.com/profile/05848975984342073654noreply@blogger.com
