[Rockhound]

I'll be back out there this year in June and may or may not complete a thru and you bet I'm gonna be out there again next year. Way to far away to set an actual date though. If I had to guess I'll be starting at Springer in mid Feb. again. Hopefully I'll get a little more snow this time.

[Rockhound]

For the paranoid conspiracy theorists this will be known as "The year of the last thru hike" SOBOs better not dilly dally.

Been planning this for probably four years now. I was going to hit the trail this year but I found my twin soul and got married!!!!! So the trail got pushed back to 2012 before we start a family!!!

I look forward to meeting you all on here and seeing you on the trail!!!!

Look at post # lucky 13! Although, I'm sure you meant to say, "Anyone who's not a geezer from FL?" I've seen several from FL.
