Welcome to WhiteBlaze Captain

That guy without a trail name.
SOBO
June 20th-July 1st...I'm staying flexible.

I'll be the young guy hiking south...Though I do grow a mean beard already. (I'm 20). I'm just starting, and seeing how far I can get. No real goals, just time away from everything. I hope there will be some others around!

Think twice about growing that beard. MinnesotaSmith seems to have a theory that women are turned off by men with beards. I am honestly turned off by women with beards myself.

Welcome to WhiteBlaze Moe . Hope your hike is awsome.

lmao @ bulldawg - bearded women do make a decent living in the circus though. Or so I'm told.

no trail name yet, so just signing 'zack d.' in the registers
NOBO

Yes, did the approach trail from the parking lot over Springer.

Additional Information; I had a huge, stinky, chilli dog for my birthday this year!

Anyone starting this Sunday? I'm driving down with my Dad on Saturday, and hitting the approach trail Sunday morning

[ErickP]

I'm off! Thanks for a great website!

Guess I should register for the class of 2008 since I am sitting at Neel's Gap. Everything is going well, a little sore but nothing vitamin I can't take care of. Beware the mice at Gooch Gap shelter, need to patch a hole in my tent. Battled with the mouse and as you can see I survived, sorry I cant say the same for the mouse. So far everthing has exceeded my expectations. Adios, see you up the trail.

Haha, I just read that thread last night. It was very interesting, to say the least.

I will be eagerly awaiting a study on how many males find female beards attractive. Get on it!

Indygirl checking in. Off trail in Smokey's with an eye injury. Detachment of viterious. Currently under doc care. I am to return to AT May 24th. I completed 240 miles of journey and will flip flop so that I can hike with AT frens, catching up with them then going back to the Smokeys in fall to finish where I departed the trail. Await release from doctor. I sure miss my AT frens. Indygirl www.trailjournals.com/indygirl

Depends on what you mean by a "female beard".

Change in my Thru hike for 2008!
Well I had started off in April as a NOBO BUT soon after some problems at home had me heading back north by car. All is taken care of and I am going back to my thru hike BUT ...... this time as a flip flopper. Planning to do Harpers Ferry to Maine and Harpers Ferry to Georgia. Leaving very end of May or very beginning of June. Hoping to find some hiking partners/friends/buddies since I had to part with mine and she will still be in southern Virginia when I start.

[corialice81]

Also, change in my hike. Started NOBO April 19th but had to get off twice due to blisters. I'm gonna do a sobo starting July 1st. Got the blister thing worked out. Special thanks to the ministry group from Alabama at Trail Days...you were all a blessing!
