This is mainly a test post to better understand WhiteBlaze.

I've been 'planning' for years. Now that I am retired, I'm getting serious and doing more research and buying for my 2017 hike. And I have increased my frequency and duration of exercise. That really seems to have made a difference on how I feel when getting out of bed in the morning. No creaky joints, etc. Soon will be taking test day and overnight hikes with equipment.
