My name is David and this is my first forum post, ever. My wife and I are planning to do a Southbound Thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail this upcoming June. Right now, we're in the early stages and I'll likely be posting here fairly frequently for tips and advice about gear, etc. We're really looking forward to this epic adventure! We also started a blog to track our journey. You can check it out at:
