Hey class of 2012 is any one planning to hike in my age group? You all sound so young, fit, and full of zest. I'm turning 63 on the PCT. Interested to see how many others.

Today is my 66th birthday. I retire and start drawing social security next month. And, in 5 months we should all be enjoying ourselves at ADZPCTKO. Just out of curiosity, is anyone in the PCT Class of 2012 older than me?
