I have been doing a great deal of reading over the past week, and I just wanted to thank all of the members of this site and it's admin for the information and articles. As a new AT backpacker, at first I found the amount of info daunting, especially regarding gear and food. But after reading until my eyes have crossed, I have uncovered a lot that I can use. I know very well that the time, effort, and---sometimes---mistakes of others will help me create and AT experience that will be both memorable and fulfilling.

I appreciate you all very much!
