    Post Van-supported AT Geezer Hike 2010

    Posting this for the one and only, the beloved Loon...

    ==========
    Don't forget the GEEZER HIKE, a not-for-profit, van-supported trek of the Appalachian Trail starting April 1, 2010. Intended for those over 50, slightly daft and in search of new adventures. (If you are over 50 and want to thru-hike the AT, that criteria may apply to you!

    I'm supplying the van and the driver; expenses will be shared. After hiking the AT several times, I want to do it this way, with 6-10 friends this summer. If interested, check out this web site: www.ratherBhiking.com/hikes/geezers/.

    As of this writing, the expedition is still in need of a driver. If you'd like to spend the spring and summer driving and hiking in the Appalachians, please let me know.

    All the best to the AT class of 2010. See you on the trail!

    Loon
    ==========

    Please make any contact through the above-referenced webpage. (PMs from this post may go unanswered.)

    I'm over 50, and more than just a bit daft.

    Sadly, I am also a hard core solo hiker. Have fun "Kids".

    A suggestion: Take turns being the designated driver.

    Funny how it starts on April Fools. But hey sounds like fun.
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    Any openings where you work?.........

    Let me re-phrase that: where can I send my resume? I may like to work there. If nothing else, the morale HAS to be good!

    Hmm, I would be careful...a lot of companies are good at screwing you.

    This Posting seems to be getting off the subject. We are talking about a van supported hike.
