[pct-l] A question for AT veterans....

Max Patch is 250 miles from Springer. It will take  most AT hiker, just 
starting, over 3 weeks to get there. I would say mid to late  April.  You could 
check a bunch of trail journals and see what date those  hikers were there.

Howdy  PCTL,

So, after hiking the PCT last year I'm compelled to do some trail  magic,
though doing it on the PCT is kind of out of the question seeing as  I live
in North Carolina. That said, I wanted to set up shop in that  shelter near
Max's Patch on the Appalachian Trail (I live in Asheville). I  was wondering
when the best time to do this would be. I know hikers start  the AT anytime
between early March and late April, but I wanted to know  when the 'herd'
would be coming through. If it's in March I'll probably set  up a little
'coffee shop,' with hot drinks and hot food and Bojangles (my  less than
rowdy Basset hound). If April I'll do the more cook-outish type  of thing.
Anyhow let me know, and if any of you listers are in the area  let's do this
together!

keep it  real,

Rattler
