Hi! Planning to head out for the first time in early September. Really looking forward to it. I am starting out in northern NJ and heading west on a slow ramble toward the Olympic peninsula and Oregon coast. I am wondering if there is a way to meet up with groups or individuals traveling along the way. It would be nice to meet people. I guess I am not sure if I will be feeling lost or lonely. I have read through much of what is on this site but welcome any advice. Thanks!
