[at-l] New Year's Hiking/Adventure Resolutions

[icw@xxxxxxxxxxx (Clark Wright)]

I like the idea of these hiking and other outdoor adventure resolutions;
here's my somewhat adventuresome list for 2003 - the more people who
post their goals and dreams, the more momentum we all will get from it! :)

1)  Do the Grayson Highlands 1/30 - 2/2 [already lined up! :)];

2)  Hike north from Duncannon, PA [where I first got off in 2001] for
10-14 days, starting sometime in late February [pretty well set to do
this, driving north in my old Isuzu Trooper - anyone game for some
hiking thru those darn PA rocks?];;

3)  Finish the AT by the end of 2003;

4)  Plan a hike thru the John Muir Section of the PCT;

5)  Plan a whitewater rafting trip in the john boats down the Colorado; and

6)  Train for an attempt on Aconcagua in Jan. 2004!

Here's to making life large!
