    I'm starting sometime in July- either the first week or the third week. Sounds like there will be plenty of people on trail this year also. If we could link up times I'd be cool with joining up.

    Hike on a busy trail during a bubble. Seriously, I've met more awesome girls there than anywhere. Bonus- unless your mouth is sewn shut the trail provides the perfect ice breaker for any situation.
