    Default Through Hiking

    Thank you again Whiteblaze for all the information you provide, while sometimes difficult to sift through the negativity, this is a valuable resource. Some of the articles and forum information were instrumental to getting me on the trail and to the end. Thank you again to everyone who allows this site to run, will definitely be donating when I get home.

    That was one hell of a slack pack. You done good.
    The trouble I have with campfires are the folks that carry a bottle in one hand and a Bible in the other.

    Congratulations MFrenchy!!!

    Dont forget, the negativity on this site only exists because we are all frustrated that we're not out hiking right now!

    Those of us going in 2013 have plenty of interest in thoughts of those who did it in 2012!

    MFrenchy - nice post. If you learned from those who went before you, you should return the favor for those who have yet to come. It's what makes this site worthwhile.....despite the sometimes negative tone.
