Is this an appropriate bag for the Appalachian trail June - July (I'm a cold sleeper)
Is this an appropriate bag for the Appalachian trail June - July starting north (NJ) and heading south. I will have patagonia wool 3 base-layers as well. Please only advise if you are experienced with this bag and the trail - I'd hate to freeze because someone took a guess. Thanks.

You're lucky... I have this bag (35 degree though) and I grew up in NJ. :) Assuming you're starting somewhere close to the Delaware Water Gap, it can get down to 40 degrees at night in June and 50 in July... however this is worst case scenario, my experiences with my 35 degree hugger is that it sleeps very close to the 35 degree rating. If you have a sleeping pad and the base layers with you, you'd be fine with the 35 degree bag as I am sure these would add a little to the temp rating, even if you do sleep cold (I tend to sleep a little cold as well). However, if you plan on using the bag in climates a little cooler from time to time, going down to the 30 or 25 degree bag wouldn't be a bad idea. I have used many sleeping bags, and I gotta say that this is my favorite one because of the size it packs down to, the weight, and the comfort... you'll be satisfied with this bag.
