Hey folks,
I just want to thank all of you for your great support here on WB since last year. In May 09 I started this thread (http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/showthread.php?t=50043) in the Thru-Hiker Specific / Q&A's section and got much help from a lot of people here on the board. I had many questions, read a lot of articles and posts and got tons of information about the AT. When I started this thread I never thought I'd be able to plan such a great undertaking and stand it! I was afraid of falling back and forget the whole story, but...
...Well, here I am. My visa is approved, my flight is booked (just need an additional flight from Ft. Myers to Atlanta) and my gear is (almost) complete. Some smaller things have to be cleared up but the biggest part is done. In 43 days I'll be on the plane, heading towards an once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Time to walk the talk :)
Thanks to everyone. You guys are awesome! Hope to see you in the forest!
Greetings,
Ben
