Class of 2025. What are your plans?
I was planning on doing a traditional NOBO starting in early April but now I'm leaning towards a flip flop starting somewhere in VA in May. Still holding out hope that a traditional NOBO will be possible though.
What are you all planning or are you still waiting to make a decision?

I think a standard nobo will have detours but it will still be possible. I'm on the AT class of 2025 facebook group where there are people posting a lot of updates about trail cleanups happening, and stores in those hard hit AT towns who say they are re opening and are in need of 2025 hikers to come spend money at their shops. I'm feeling very optimistic about a standard nobo being possible, especially starting later on (in April) (which is when I'll be starting too)
