Hello. I'm also introducing myself after a few days of lurking. I don't really know what to say. Ummm. I have an interest in hiking the entire AT at once, but that probably won't happen with my job, rent and car payments. Maybe I'll do it in sections. I'm really into backpacking and camping, and I'll be in the Shenandoahs alot this summer, so maybe I'll run into some AT'ers. :) Diana
