Saw your post on the introductions as well and was also wondering about any hikers. I am very outdoors oriented and am planning on doing a section hike of Vermont's Long Trail this July, I can't wait. It will be my first real solo backpacking trip so it will be challenging but very rewarding. The plan is to go from Manchester Vt up to Killington or maybe Pittsfield, about 50-60 miles. Might add more miles on depending on weather and research on the route is still ongoing. Good luck on your AT trek! You know what your start date will be? I will be in Maine from March to October roughly so if you find yourself in the area let me know.
On a side note I saw on your intro that you are planning on going the 18X route, I am as well so I would love to pick your brain about your mentality regarding your decision, what you are doing to prepare, and anything else related to it. Feel free to send me a message, I would really appreciate it.
