    Welcome aboard. I'm primarily a "Lurker", but I enjoy the site. Hope you find it as beneficial as I have.

    Welcome A-Train! If you don't know about it already, there is also a Yahoo group established for 2003 thru-hikers, with a bunch of them starting about the time you are: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hikersRus

    Enjoy,
    Ed

    Welcome to WhiteBlaze Mr A-Train. Saw your posts on hikersRus for a while now. Seems like you've already bonded with a large group heading out on 3/1. I'm not starting until 3/29 so doubt we'll be seeing each other any time soon, unless you're REALLY slow or I get a sudden burst of energy.

    A good friend of mine, Danny Cunningham is from Brooklyn. He hiked the trail 2 years ago. Lightningbolt is his trail name. His dad E-Z hiked it too. They were friends with a captain at the Dean St. firehouse that was killed at the towers on 9/11. They all hung out at Farrell's and tossed back a few sociables. I'm gonna visit them soon. Probably in March.

    Lonewolf,
    I know of a semi-famous Farrells Bar on 16th street in Brooklyn. Not so close to Dean street though. What would I know about bars though, I'm only 19..... A-Train
