Hey all, I've been lurking on these forums for a while and I want to thank you for the wealth of information that I used to prepare for my thru-hike.
I'm headed to Springer *now* with my dog Kooper.

On a side note, I'm using my hike to raise money for a needy family. I presented it like a race where giving $1 equals hiking one mile. Looks like I have some catching up to do!
Hope to see some of you on the trail!
