The local paper would like to do an article on an individual who will attempt a thruhike in 2009. As a former thruhiker I wanted to try to facilitate this.

Mike - my wife and I will be departing Springer on our thru hike on March 3. We are in our late fifties - retired educators. We live on Lookout Mountain in Walker County, Georgia. We'd be glad to participate if you cannot locate someone that resides closer. I send you a PM with my cell number.
