What is on your Christmas list for Santa this year? As I've been especialy good this year, I asked for a Western Mountaineering down vest.
(or maybe a new Kelty Trekker pack!!)

Peace on Earth.
And maybe even here at WB!!
Well ...I've got most everything I could ever want, but a set of airplane tickets to some place warm where there's a good trail would be a nice treat come January.

Peace on earth? ok, it's doable. Here on Whiteblazes? I don't think he has that kinda pull!!Originally Posted by Jack Tarlin

Just good health. I've already got a great woman, a Harley and a home.
...I'll trump you...I want an end to world starvation (starvation kills a lot more babies than a few wars)
A leave of abscence from work so I can do the CDT without the transition I had when I finsihed the PCT.
True story...
After finishing the Colorado Trail last year, one of the owners of the company (cool guy..he likes the Red Sox, is from Rhode Island originally and we both have fondness for coffee milk..what is not to like ? )talked to me at lunch one Frinday and said "You've done the Appalachian Trail...right?"
ME: Yep
OWNER: And you hiked the west coast a couple of years ago...
ME: Basically right...
OWNER: You've walked across Colorado...but I understand there's a route through the whole length of the Rockies...
ME: Er....yeah.. (said slighlty cautious)
OWNER: You'll just have to do it someday, then. (Said with a smile on his face).
Here's hoping Santa, in the guise of someone who is about 40 years old, gets me a LOA.

I asked Mama Claus for two long weekends for section hikes in 2006 ;-)
It's a great day to be alive !
A DVD: The Good, The Bad, and The UGLY, starring WD, JT, and the Wookie.
Jacks R Better Nest and 60gb ipod. Sweet sassy molassy! Can't wait!

Dehydrated beer...
Go-Lite gust and MSR Sweetwater water filter
and peace on earth
An old legend holds that since the Bible says "God created all the great sea monsters" on the fourth day (Gensis 1:21), Thursday is the best day to watch for them to appear.
TIME, sweet TIME. Time to hike more often and longer; yes, of course. Time also to love my family more completely, to track down and renew old friendships, build deeper new friendships, tell old stories with my parents, sing in the church choir, start brewing homemade beer again... escape this cursed tyranny of the urgent. Oh okay-for justusryans sake I'll take a Shires tarptent as well!
