Reports are coming in that the 1st thruhikers are already on The Trail, so
before I miss any more of you, let me add my wishes that all of you have
an absolutely terrific hike and that you find within you more resources
than you ever dreamed you had.  I'll be on The Trail the last part of
April between Sams Gap and Hot Springs, going against the flow, so I hope
I'll run into at least a few of you I've known on the lists.  I've had an
even longer break (12 months) than Dan, so my stamina and waistline are
probably in even worse shape.  My longing for the trail is sure in *great*
shape, though!
