    March 15, 2013 (flexible)
    Approach Trail - yes

    I hope to be hiking with my wife and pup this time around. I absolutely loved every moment I was out on the trail and feel truly blessed by the thought of another shot! I can think of little else...
    Happy planning!

    I cracked my femur bone heading into Damascus on March 7 during my thru hike in 2012. Iam not one to give up and will finish it off in 2013. I need a few months to heel and regain back the strenth in my legs.

    Start Date: March 2013
    Approach Trail: Probably

    Really looking forward to it. Bladder Cancer in "09" (it's like a weed, U pull it up and it wants to come back), so if I can stay cancer-free, I do want to try a Thru-hike (even at 66-yo). Have already started working on the body, daily, since I retired 4/1/12......................

    Good grief! You don't crack a femur without a great story to share. I never failed to climb back in the saddle after a horse through me either. Happy healing!--Kinnickinic
