2011 Thru-Hike Registry

[Btown]

A frosty Libation at NIcks? That sounds great - I work there!

Im leaving tomorrow for INdiana's newest hiking trail, the 140mile Knobstone trail, stretching from Morgan-Monroe State Forest to the end of the original Knobstone Trail, just north of Louisville. I will be gone for just over a week so after that let's meet and I will tell of my adventures and those to come! Take care

Enjoy your hike Goez! You are treading over my old stomping grounds

[thelowend]

Don't have one yet and I feel lame giving myself one.
SOBO!
Thinking as early as possible (late may, early June).
No.. I'm gonna get some folks to meet me on springer with some cold sierra nevadas and other good things to end the hike with.. I don't feel like bracing myself for 8 miles of downhill to do an unofficial part of the AT that i have walked already.

I'm beyond excited. I get out jsut about every weekend now.. and find it very tough to turn around when on trails to head back towards the trailhead after a day or two of solitude and bliss. I can't wait til the day that I can just keep going until I hit Springer..

We are a mother/daughter team! My daughter will be 9 when we start. I know this will make everything much more difficult for me but it will be an incredible experience for both of us.

This may be the coolest thing ever! Hope to meet you out there.
