[Boo-Boo 2007]

I have sent you an e-mail. Would love to take part in your "study".

I got one e-mail from Davis months ago, no follow up, did the project get scrapped?

Hey Johnny - I don't think it got scrapped. He was very prompt when I sent him a follow-up question about the possibility of carrying equipment. You might want to try emailing him. The impression I got is that he'd work something out with each hiker depending upon their departure date.
Whatever you find out, would you let us know?
Thanks,

From my e-mail response:



I hope the preparations for your thru-hike are going well. I wanted to finalize
plans for the pretesting for the Appalachian Trail Research Project.

My plans are to arrive at the Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega, Georgia (near Springer
Mountain) on March 8th or 9th and stay there until April 11. I will be starting the
pretesting at that time. For those of you who are staying at the Hiker Hostel, I
will see you there and have you fill out the consent forms and start the testing
at that point.

For those of you who are not staying at the Hiker Hostel, please let me know
where you will be staying in the area before you start the hike so I can
coordinate a time and location for the testing. The testing gear is somewhat
portable so I can do the testing pretty much anywhere.

Thanks for your interest in the project -
