<P>There are many who are trying to avoid the ADZ crowds who start earlier. I agree with ProDeal that joining the 2008 Yahoo group would be helpful to you. Also, Bob Reiss, who has been giving hiker's rides to the border each year, generally posts his pick-up/drop-off schedule as the season draws nearer. He might be able to give you an idea of who is starting out the same time you are. He's not the only border trail angel, but I think he helps the most hikers and is tapped into start dates. I included him on this post.</P>

<DIV>Looking to stay ahead of the bulk of the ADZPCTKO crowd, actually. I'm going to be doing a mixed supply system, buying stuff in stores where I can and having packages for the remote sections or where it's significantly easier to get to the post office than a store. So it'd benefit me to be ahead of the crowd, at least until it spreads out a bit.</DIV>

<DIV>That's why I won't be waiting for late April. :P</DIV>
