Tony -
First - since you have an interest in backpacking and the AT, I'll
extend a public welcome.  The list is a hiker-friendly place and we're
always happy to find others who share our obsession.

Have you done any backpacking in CA?  Ginny (my wife) lived in San
Francisco for a while and did some hiking/backpacking out there.  We've
also hiked in Arizona and Colorado and we're looking forward to more of
that.

To answer your question, there are a number of us on the list from MD
and Virginia.  And a fair number of us are either thruhikers or long
term section hikers so there's a lot of knowledge (and opinions) here if
you want information.  

For my part, I tend to talk from a thruhikers viewpoint, so not everyone
relates to what I say sometimes.  But don't let that bother you.  Just
keep in mind that thruhikers are, by definition, crazy.  :-)

Walk softly,
Jim
