2009 Thru-Hikers

[Tinker]

I just finished up some summer hiking in the Alps on the Tour du Mont Blanc and the Alta Via 1, now next on the agenda is the Long Trail. I am currently in the planning phase at the moment and subject to changes, but I am favoring a SOBO starting mid-September and finishing mid-October. I also like cooler fall weather and am of course most intrigued by romantically hiking through the change of seasons and the fall colors.

See you all on the trail!

I will be leaving on Sept. 14 headed sobo.
I sectioned the LT in the 1990s nobo.

Starting a SB E2E 8/29. I have 18 days off from work. First experience with thru-hiking, but not hiking in general. Pretty excited!
