Brothers and sisters of the woods...

[The Phoenix]

Hello everybody,

I am departing on my journey on the AT in a few weeks probably April 7-9... I'm flying down to ATL. I am 19 years old and though I have a good amount of experience with hiking and the outdoors... life on the trail is going to be somewhat of a new experience. (I've hiked a few hundred miles in larger groups)

I'm probably going to be pestering you vets quiet a bit with questions if your open to giving a hand.

That's all I got for now... I look forward to meeting anyone and everyone and hearing whatever you got to offer and share with me...

Take care and God bless (or whatever you believe in):jump
