[pct-l] Hello all ! An introduction ~

[David Ellzey]

Hi Kimberlie,

We are planning a 2011 thruhike and I don't think it's ever too early to start planning. When you can't hike, planning is at least a little exciting. As a matter of fact we have been planning this since 2007 and were able to section hike 600 miles of PCT in 2009. If you don't mind getting a preview of the trail, you may want to think about doing part of the trail in 2010 (we plan another 300 miles) to shake down your gear.

On the other hand, there is something to be said for saving the trail for your thruhike and getting to experience the whole thing for the first time.

Hi there! I don't want to interrupt your squabbling about PCT FAQs  :) :) :)
~ but ~

My name is Kimberlie and I live in beautiful Sedona, Arizona. I plan to solo
thru hike the PCT in 2011.. I realize it's early to be making connections
and asking questions.. But I felt an introduction was at least in order or I
am officially stalking the list, right? Through incredible amounts of
reading and listening to stories and information posted here, I am getting
quite excited about the whole venture... I'm not a stranger to hiking or
outdoor adventure but have never attempted anything of this scale...  I am
absolutely determined to complete it (and enjoy the process)..

Thank you for creating and contributing through this list and mostly thank
you for loving nature  and life .. You're an inspiring lot.. Even when
squabbling :)

Kimberlie
