All,

Thanks again to everyone that participated in my AT Thru-hiker Study (http://sourcetosea.net/thruhiker/study.html) There is a ton of data that'll take a few months to sort through, but I've got a rough presentation ready for The Gathering this weekend (8am Saturday).

Before I finalize everything and pretty it up, is there anything particularly pressing that you'd like to hear about? Gear? Water treatment? Motives? Ages? Whatever else? Just let me know in this thread and I'll try and work it in.

Thanks,

I'm sure the study will be rife with the poring over of facts and figures. WHat I'm wondering is if there will be any room for the reflections of the spiritual search that many hikers seek.
It's all I knew about wanting to hike the trail and it is still the reason I find myself on it.:)

I'll get into that a little bit when we get to motives. That one topic could take up a whole session.

Thanks,

Anything else anyone? Don't be shy!
