2017 Hikers
PostLooks like I'll be a 2017 hiker... My last AT hike of any distance was in 2011. Due to some family stuff (mostly medical), I've been unable to get time to do any sections. This looks like the year! It's short for planning, but my sister (who is coming from Fl) and I will be starting at Delaware Water Gap NOBO and seeing how far we can go in 11 days on the trail.

PostQuote from WanderingStovie: “Quote from TrafficJam: “Quote from sheepdog: “I saw a woman of Asian decent the other day her hair was cut above shoulder length. It was that beautiful glossy black. When she moved her head, the hair underneath was an iridescent blue. It was so cool. ” We discussed dying the under layer. I might try it. It will take some ingenuity to hide. ” Get a digital camo dye job so you can hide. ” I have a pair of camo boots, but I can't find them....
