woohoo! me too! but can I change something u said? lol no really as for the leave no trace...leave it as clean as u found it OR BETTER! I picked up ALOT of trash when i hit the JMT section...fricking day hikers and maybe even the JMTers...I was so frustrated when i got to Tuolumne Meadows I had a FULL large canister of propane, a pair of water/camp shoes that someone tried to burn in a fire and food wrappers for dehydrated food that I found up at Donahue. And even though I fell and almost pushed the 911 button at the top of the pass I still carried all this crap out...gggrrr! not trying to brag just saying...keep nature nature even if it's not urs plz...thanx and hugs from the sugar moma

Hello class of 2010,

I take it is you're on this list because you are planning to hike, or
thinking of hiking in 2010. First let me say, great idea. Second, let me say
be careful (I'll explain). On this list you'll find great, wonderful, and
passionate people to help you get ready for your trip. But remember what we
advise, is just that advise. There is no "correct" way to hike, just so long
as you're having fun and enjoying the trail. 

People are going to tell you about things you "must do," or hiking has to be
done "this way." While the people who tell you this are wonderful people,
it's all crap. Just hike you're own hike. If you want a 50 pound pack, do
it. If you want to take 20 zero days at Big Bear, have fun. This is your
hike, your trip, and you're life. Do it your way. There is an often used,
but seldom believed saying, "hike your own hike" it's a motto that past
hikers might do well to remember. Past hikers should say, "let people hike
their hike." But, we only get this intense in discussion about the trail
because we love it. And no matter how fiercely we might disagree, each
other. 

The only rule ALL hikers MUST follow is leave no trace. That's it! Clean up
your mess and leave your campsite as you found it. Other than that, IT'S
YOUR HIKE!

You're friend in fun,
Good TImes

PS- I think I'm hiking it again this year! I miss all you crazy pieces of
hiker trash :)
