No, but I plan to complete my section hike 2017, so perhaps I will see you on to Mt Kathadin.

[Praha4]

never know, I'm trying it in 2015 first.

[Bigfoot86]

Hopefully I'll see you there astro

[RangerZ]

I am but I'm not saying it out loud yet because it means I'll be retired and I don't want that date out yet. How's that for convoluted thinking?

I am! But, I'm nervous about committing too quickly because my 2015 thru plans were cancelled. Hoping the stars all come together for 2017, though.

Yes, 2017 is my year. Wish it was sooner, but work commitments drive a 2017 thru hike.

RangerZ - you said it well regarding future plans.

Originally (2012) was going to be this year but life, work and daughter's wedding scotched that plan.

Several hikers from the class of 1997 are talking about doing a 20th anniversary hike. Still too early for us to be thinking that far ahead. We are more of the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of guys.

I hiked about 800 miles in 1997 and had to quit for health reasons. I did get back and section a hundred or two miles over the years. I'd love to know who from 97 is going to hike in 2017.

[Bullit]

2017 is going to be the year for me.

I am planning on doing my thru in the spring of 2017. I'm thinking about starting on the first week of March. If anyone wants to talk about some early planning message me!
