Who's in?
NOBO or SOBO?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I'm in, but have yet to decide on what direction I will be walking in, most likely NOBO.
Sorry, Jeramiah and I are hitting the CDT in 2012.
Oh, Hi Olive Oil!

Oh, Hi Olive Oil!
Are you guys doing a sobo or nobo hike?
either way you guys should come visit me in Montana at one point(if I'm there) I only live about 40 minutes from parts of the CDT.
I have no idea... I'm still in AT mode since I'm doing that thing again this year. Jeramiah invited me and I was like "heck yeah!" so now I really need to save my money ;)

Land Shark on the move. Hello and it is nice to hear that you are still hiking met you last year was wearing green kilt. I will be moving to washington within a year and will be doing the northern peices as soon as I get there. would be more then willing to sag you guys when you get close. cheers and God speed.
I'm considering the PCT, maybe the NWP saving the CDT for 2013. But crap, all the bull**** you seem to have to go through for the AT not sure I want to any more. Kinda just wanted to load my gear and take my dog for a long walk but ain't that simple. Are there more rules for the PCT than the AT?
I may hike the PCT again in 2012. It depends on my Man. He said he might take a LOA or even quit his job to hike the PCT and wants me to come with. If when he returns he can't get a job, he'll just retire.

What kind of rules? Most folks don't take a dog on the PCT. I wish I could, but I've decided against it.

I wish I could just retire :P
I'm trying to finagle 2012, but I doubt it'll happen. Still, you never know.

You are 39. He'll be 62. You'll get there.

Can't thru hike yet but if I get the AT completed this year I would love to do a 10 - 14 day stretch in the spring and in the fall (after Labor Day). Any suggestions?

PCT 2012 is a longshot... just a dream... but if you don't have dreams... they can't come true...The only way I can stop thinking about my AT thru is to work towards a PCT hike (so far it's not working)... oh well...Dune 2010 NOBO

It's beginning to look like I'll be in for at least four months. I don't think I'll make the whole thing in that time, but I should be able to hike a good portion of it. I need to research now.

3 folks have signed the virtual trail register (http://postholer.com/hikerRegistry.php?year=2012) for 2012. Who's next?

2012's the goal. many things up in the air. Notably, grad school and my thesis.
....but I can't WAIT to get back out there. You all know the feeling. My feet are itching, specially this time of year.
one more year....
If everything goes well for me on the Colorado Trail this summer then the PCT in '12 is a possibility. It's been a dream of mine for a while. I really just want to find a friend to do it with.

I plan on thru hiking the AT this summer, then hiking the Arizona trail this winter, and hopefully hiking the PCT or CDT next spring. We shall see. :sun

Count me in for 2012. I am in the process of obtaining some new gear as mine was stolen from the hot springs parking lot area where I live, due to vandals. I new better than to leave it there in plain view but I thought a locked car would keep it safe. 1 hr later and broken glass everywhere. Yes....count me in, I have nothing else better to do. Always up for section hikes in the C-E sections. DIP

Considering hiking the CA portion from the kick-off date in April north, then do the 2nd part next year for my 50th birthday. Depends on job and hubby (who is not thrilled with the prospects right now).

My GF and I have decided to bail on the AT in 2012 and do the PCT instead. We'll be going North and starting the first week of May :)
