I haven't had time to take off to do the trail straight through, so my buddies and I are just doing long sections when we can. We typically do 10 - 14 days after thanksgiving for the past couple of years. We're done with GA and nearly done (less than 40 miles) with NC/TN. We were thinking about flying to Maine and doing the 100 mile wilderness (obviously not during November). What are your thoughts on that section of the trail?

Also, though I'm sure this will get buried - for anyone interested in hiking the AT check out www.whiteblaze.net . It's a very active forum dedicated to nothing but hiking the AT.

I've been going to SFoG since the mid 80s, and Mindbender is still easily in my top 2. The other being Goliath - riding on the front of that beast at night is amazing!

I miss Freefall. It was way better IMHO than Acrophobia.

After an injury, I had to have a 3 level spinal fusion. I realize this is much more minor than yours, but how have you recovered, and is there anything physically you do that you feel has helped in your recovery more than anything else?
