    Default Hitting the Trail, Thanks for the help

    Well guys and gals. I will be leaving Monday morning for the HikerHostel and I will start the approach trail Tuesday morning. I just wanted to say thanks for all the help, info, laughs and rants I have gotten or read here on the forum. I could have done all the prep work by myself but you fine folks made it much more enjoyable.

    I will be on trailjournals. I have requested a directlink but the trailjournals system doesn't seem to want to give me one. Just look for Scruffy / Bryan Dennis.

    My final pack weight came out to 40.5 pounds but that is everything with 7 days of food and 1.5 liters of water, and 28 ounces of alcohol.

    Go Class of 2010
    All endeavors require some blood, I just wish it wasn't always my blood:)
