Welcome to WhiteBlaze.net

Very impressed with some of the content on the forum.

College kid, last summer, going to play good and spend the summer on the trail. Won't have a place to call home anyway as my lease will be up, roommates moving out, and parents are relocating. Goin' low budget. Got gear, Eagle scout, not my first rodeo, but always seeking improvement. We'll see how far I go, starting second week of May, ending third week of August. Will have to leave temporarily in the middle of July for a sister's wedding. It's getting better all the time!

Hello! I've been here before, but figured I would say hello, and greet you all once more! I've thru-hiked the MMM Trail, which is now a majority of the NET, three times, Vermont's "Long Trail" once, and I've also done the entire MA portion of the AT. Happy hiking!

Hi, I am new and am in love with the AT. Hoping to make new friends with hikers! And I have some questions to ask. Nice to meet you guys.

Hey!

I am a complete gearhead and that is what first brought me to Whiteblaze, but as I browsed through the forums the idea of completing a Thru Hike on the AT just keeps on resonating with me and I think Thoreau says it best, "We cannot see anything until we are possesed with the idea of it, take it into our heads, and then we can hardly see anything else." I am tired of sitting in front of a computer at a desk job and am looking to get out.

I am hoping to be a part of the 2014 class and will be planning and preparing over the next year and I know this forum will be a great asset. Thanks for all the information that I have obtained so far and Thanks in advance for all the extra knowledge I will gain here!
