Given the late date of my 2006 departure, I decided to bite the bullet and start where I left off in 2003: the Walasi-yi center at Neel's Gap. It'll trim the first four or five days from my AT attempt. I'll need every day I can get to make Katahdin by October 15, when Baxter State Park closes for the winter. Technically speaking, this makes my through-hike just a really long section hike, but you know what? Who cares. As long as I am standing on that big rock come October.
If things go really slowly on the way to Maine, I suppose flip-flopping is always an option, as well.
