    Still a Feb 25th start for me (Gadget) NOBO on the approach trail, but from originally planning a solo start, my small posse is growing ... Lucky's CDT partner Lumbar is joining us.

    Both these guys know the AT pretty well, so for as long as we end up sticking together I can probably get lazy about any sort of on-trail planning ... :-)

    Look forward to seeing you all or at least reading your entries in the logs hope to work a little trail magic at Birch Run this year. Digger if you still have my cell don't be afeared to give me a ring if you need anything after Penn Marr.

    With the weather that we are having in the south this year, all you early starters will be earning your mileage. Keep in mind that some of the biggest storms hit in March. Be prepared and stay alert, it can be surprising how fast the weather turns bad.
    I meet a couple of young people from Ohio once, they had started on March 1, and they suffered by being unprepared. They said " hey, we looked at the map and Georgia is right next to Florida, who knew that it got cold down here!" These guys were hiking in cut off blue jeans and t-shirts. Other hikers were giving them clothing, because they felt sorry for them. They both quit before getting to Virginia.
    ATTENTION ALL HIKERS; it gets cold in the south!

    Shouldn't we be worried about the 2010 folks first.
    Love people and use things; never the reverse.

    Mt. Katahdin would be a lot quicker to climb if its darn access trail didn't start all the way down in Georgia.

    Hell man, I been knocking out that orange soda at every town crossing on the trail. Something about long distance hiking makes me crave the daylights out of that stuff.

    And I be killin the Fritos like it's nobodys business! Thanks for the tip on those, I'm all over it. Good luck my bro, we will see u out there. -dig
