[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.

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

Why is it supposed to be 'last thru hike?'

[pdcollins6092]

Why is it supposed to be 'last thru hike?'

According to the Myan Calendar, the Hopie Indians and a couple others the world is said to end 12/21/2012.

Haha, my buddy joked about that the other day. Y2K all over again.

If I had the money and no lease, I was hoping to go in 2012, but it looks like I have a year and a half to prep for 2013.

[HolySmoke!]

yeah... i figure on starting early, and if the weather gets very weird, or there are a series of natural disasters, i'll be heading home i reckon... We just had the biggest solar flare in recorded history... Sun spots at an all time high.. then there's the confirmed 188 day cycle of earthquakes... next quake due in late march... i figure better get the hiking in before the SHTF... it's all circling the drain... and i just want to hike !!!
