I want to apologize for the mistake I made. I did some mods to the site recently that allowed access for some non 2005 thru-hikers to have access to this forum which is only suppose to be for all the 2005 thru-hikers in planning. There were only a couple of non 2005 thru-hikers that posted and I will leave those post up.
One quick note. If any of you have noticed I fixed it so that when ever a 2005 thru-hiker post that their name is in red. This will help you identify a 2005 thru-hiker when they post in the outside forums.
