I've mentioned here that Kathy and I plan to due a LASH on the AT this year, hiking from Harper's Ferry to Springer Mountain. We are planning to start late in April. Unexpectedly something has come up, that we have no control over, that we'll have to be home for. So now we have no idea when we'll be able to get away. I'm disappointed but not giving up hope that we'll still get it done this year.

While doing the southern half of the AT as one journey is a bucket list item, we'll adapt that list as needed. As we all know, life doesn't come with any guarantees. So as StalkingTortoise said, we'll adapt.

There's now a chance that Kathy and I might be able to start our LASH during the first half of June

Our thought is that we'd like to start as soon as we can. If the heat is high we'll hike slower. When we hiked in PA it was over 100 degrees so we'd take a break in the afternoon and do our miles in the morning and evening.
