[at-l] Newb on the loose - the questions begin

Hotdog and I were apparently separated at birth, 'cause Jim's Thru 
Hiking Papers are worth their weight in wet wipes for just the section 
about keeping your mind 'in the game' during your hike.  =) 

Virginia, I too had to complete my thru hike before school began in the 
fall.  I started about a week after your proposed start date (ref. 
http://www.trailjournals.com/hoplite/).  My only regret from the trail 
was having to push myself to longer and longer days to reach the end in 
time.  Of course, a speedy thruhike is SO much better than none at 
all.   Sounds like an early start is a good idea, given the alternatives.
