Dear Whiteblaze members,

Thanks so much for all of your help! Back in February, I was a dude who had zero backpacking/hiking experience. On September 25, I became an AT THRU HIKER!! I couldn't have done it without whiteblaze being such a great resource to learn all about packpacking. I also love (for the most part) that people are very willing to answer any question I have. I hope this gives some the confidence on here to some people to start planning their own A.T thru hike....it was the most amazing 5 and a half months of my life!

Thanks!

Thanks for coming back on here, Lighthouse!! Ur summit pic is AWESOME!! I took a quick look at ur pics on your blog... you took some really good ones. :)

So glad you had a great resource to make this thru-hike happen for you.. The members on here, that are truly helpful to answer questions, are AMAZING!! They do deserve a BIG THANK YOU!! SWEET!

I watched you low point vid. Awww... so sad. :( But you pushed through it all... good for you. I bet those scraps really hurt *ouch* . My favorite part of the vid was at the end when you just wanted ur mommy. Awww!! :D I'm twice ur age & sometimes I still just want my mommy 2. :p

Good luck with the next chapter in ur life & CONGRATS on your awesome accomplishment!!

Great job!

I was surprised how many people who start (& often complete) the AT without any prior backpacking experience. That shows great determination on their (& your) part. Congrats again.

I see the guitar survived. How did you end up carrying it?
