hello forum folks,

my buddy wants to spend time with his girlfried and my mother is slightly neurotic and convinced that solo hiking is a high-risk deadly activity. to make her happy, I thought I’d at least make an effort to find someone else to hike with. although I’m a guy and I’m in my 20s…

I’ve been section hiking for three years or so because I work at a camp for ten weeks in summer, and also do not want to hike in waist-deep snow! I have finished about 500 miles. I’d especially like to hike from Erwin TN to Ceres VA, north to south or south to north, either would be great. I could help with shuttling here or in some other midtrail state.

I’d like to be out for a couple of weeks, or a couple hundred miles, but actually, I’m pretty flexible as to dates and locations.

if anyone has any ideas, I’d appreciate them.

If you are in that area in that time, you will alone about zero amount of the time.

Walking down the street in your home town is more dangerous then hiking alone.

Just go, and tell Mom you aint a little baby no Mo’.:boy

Ceres is an incredibly small town, and unless you are picked up by an aquaintance there is little chance to get to a sizeable town. I would recommend either stopping in Atkins or continuing to Bland.
My mother is similar. Just comfort her and let her know that the trail is safe.
