FB posts - Dec 13, 2011

I didn't want to just start friend requesting everyone because I know some people take their Facebook privacy more seriously than others and I don't want anyone to feel obligated to accept requests either but I figured I'd start a post for those of us who wouldn't mind being friends with the others that are here.
Anyone who feels up to it can add me as a FB friend.
Others who share that mentality can also post below so others may add you as well.

Do I really need to spend $$$ on guidebooks? those that have walked the trail before, what maps were needed and not? Anyone walk it with just a data book?

How much do you anticipate spending on trail food per week? Town food?

Is a 30 degree bag sufficient or is it recommended to bring a warmer one?

alright-i pretty much cant wait to meet all you guys, or as many as i can. i am sure you are all going through the same things as me, with most of my Facebook feed being dominated by PCT updates now, which i love, but it is still sort of weird seeing all your faces everyday but still having never met you, and maybe never actually getting the chance too meet because the spread of the pack....

i have never been to the adzpctko but i am hoping there is a booth or area set up where the facebook groupers can all meet up and congregate a bit... as many people as there are on this forum, i am sure the we are still in the minority when it comes to all the people who will actually be hiking this year....

i still feel like sort of an outsider, because this is my first thru. like this hike is my initiation hike into an existence i have so desperately wished i was part of for so long now but so many things have kept me from making it a reality.

there is so much i am looking forward to due to the actuality of this hike...
