Hi Tim,
I'm Jim Lemire, a section hiker also, and I've done almost the opposite
of you. I've done from Katahdin to the James River. We probably could tell
each other whats ahead pretty well. I'm headed back to the James to do 60-70
miles in August. Right now very involved with the AOL tag team thru hike.
Always good to meet a fellow section hiker,
Jim
