[at-l] a few gathering questions

[athummingbird at dnet.net (Linda Benschop)]

Boulder,

It would be a really great advantage for you to come and attend as many 
classes as you can.  We camp at Storrs, but there are classes at 
Dartmouth on just about everything to do with hiking.  Former thru 
hikers, and other long distance hikers, can give you lots of tips for 
keeping things light and cheap.  If there is a class offered by 
Baltimore Jack, be sure and sign up for that as it will give you all the 
info you need to start your hike.  Don't worry about the weather.  You 
will have to get usd to that!  We spend most of our time indoors 
anyhow.  You will have a blast...guaranteed...and never regret that you 
went.

Hugs and Welcome!  Hope to see you there!  Hummingbird
