I don't even know where to start. I live in Georgia and would like to go backpacking but I don't want to go alone. Maybe find a backpacking group..go with them for a while. Any ideas?

Most back packing groups I've ran into are fairly lame...
If you are in Georgia you have all kinds of trails you could hike.. Hit up the Appalachian Trail in late March or early April, you'll find tons of hikers out there.
http://www.whiteblaze.net is a good site you could find people to hike with

Money is the biggest issue for me. Would be nice to not have to worry about it. Just go and see where you end up. And to have some friends who are more interested in going to such places.
Time will come tho.

I may go backpacking with family in the appalachia area pretty soon. Nature walks are always fun, especially when your have a n objective landmark or destination to get to (i.e a waterfall or something like that).

There's gotta be a lot of good trails throughout GA. Buy a couple guidebooks and start exploring. A solo weekend in a county or state park you've never explored could be a lot of fun or a good way to meet people already using the parks. And then ask them for other cools places to check out.
I bought a new pack last week and can't wait to break it in.

Just a heads up Fred - I made a post about this in *gathering and travel.*
Was wondering how seriously you are about going backpacking (the immediacy of your plans), and wether your meaning local or international..?
BUMP!
