Coming back as an adult

[Linixion]

Southern California resident here. I walked the trail thrice for a week or two at a time when I was about 14, 15, and 16 or so, each time around or in the Shenandoah area. This time I'm 22 (will be 23 when I begin the hike) and planning a section hike maybe starting from Georgia and hopefully getting past the Smokies. Probably starting in mid June so I'm not sure if it might be very hot in that area, so I'm glad I found this site so I could more thoroughly plan out my deal. Hope to see some of you on the trail. Send me a message if you have any other ideas/suggestions or are looking for a (male) companion to trek with. Looking forward to looking up and looking down from the tops of the highest or from the bottom of the lowest.
