hey i started hiking in GA last year march 12, this year i think i will start around apr. 1 in WV. GA was pretty cold last year when i started will it be even colder this year started in WV on apr. 1st?
is a tarp okay for this weather? i figure though since i’m starting from WV if the weather is bad there will surely be a shelter space free. i have a 20 degree sleeping bag which as far as i can remember worked fine last year in conjunction with long johns, pants, fleece, hat and gloves (although the gloves didn’t really do anything, someone suggsted mittens). so basically i’m just wondering if i need to make any special preperations for this hike because i’m not sure how cold it will be.
oh and also transportation just go to washington dc. and then train to harpers ferry, yeah? and are there easy spots to get off the trail and back home in MA 2, 3, 4, 5 weeks up the trail from there? thanks much
