Hello!
I'm holding a long-distance hiking Q & A session (very informal) at my apartment (in portland, me) for prospective thru-hikers, if there is any one in the area who wants more information about long distance hiking. This is something a person in the Maine Outdoor Adventure Club asked me to do, but I thought I'd open it up to everyone.
If there are any former thru-hikers that want to help out, let me know (there will be several attending already) . -alex aka java

The listing from MOAC follows below: (Please email me if you want to attend so I can keep track of numbers)

Want to learn more about long-distance hiking?
Description:
An informal, informational get together will be held to learn more about long-distance hiking on the Appalachian, and other trails. It will be hosted by Alexandra Daley-Clark and Denis Clark a.k.a. ‘Java and Jeopardy’ A.T. class of 2001. In addition, several other MOAC members who are former thru-hikers will be attending to help answer questions.

Topics covered can/will include: logistics, preparations, gear, food, fitness, safety, and anything else you are curious about. Feel free to bring any one else (even non-MOACers) who may be interested in long-distance hiking, or any other long-distance hikers you may know.
