Nobo 2011. Under 21!

[Sassafras Lass]

is buzzard for buzzkill? live and let live.

I fail to see how a bit of wisdom that will incidentally keep your immature butt out of jail and keep someone else's business is a "buzzkill".

Nice to know you're starting before us.

im glad u feel better now Gheparda. love to make people happy.

Yeah Torch youre gunna have to teach us the ins and outs!

[George]

the drink can be had outside the bars - the chicks ... not so easy - have to remember what the priorities are at that age

[Sterling]

I am 22, but i understand where everyone under 21 is coming from. Two years ago i most certainly would've snuck into as many bars as possible (and did). Live it up, hike your own hike, and hope to see some of ya at the bar.

Nice of so many of you underage members to want to sneak in (using fake ID or whatever) and put the local bar owners at risk of trouble with the law. Getting shut-down for serving a bunch under-age thru-hikers is so good for business.

Why not show a little respect for someone else's livelihood, and some common sense, by planning to get someone of legal age to buy and haul your booze back to the woods for you. Just don't rat on them if you get busted, and carry out your empties please.

All they gotta do it ask for ID. Bar owners should know the difference between real and fake IDs.

When I was 15 i had some guy buy me beer and we both ended up getting arrested. That guy was in big trouble. The judge just gave me a slap on the wrist.

[BaltimoreJames]

I'm 22, and will be for my thru-hike.

[thattallguy44]

Glad to see a couple more sign on for next year! do u all have ur start dates yet?

[C Seeker]

Me age 17 and my partner age 21 will be heading out June 19 in Va(Front Royal) and hiking NoBo then going back and heading south. Depending on how fast or slow you hiking will depend on if I will see you.
Happy Hiking

I just turned 21 and i plan on having a little fun when i get to Fontana damn. I know tons of people that work at the resort. I have only done section hikes so far and my favotire place is from Clingmans Dome to Fontana. But after that I think life on the trail will be better without a hangover.
