Hello All,

i spent a while this summer hiking around the PCT and decided to try a real thru 
hike in 2011.  I will be hiking with my girl as a couple...

actually heard about PCT-l from Bigfoot who i met in warner springs.  look 
forward to hearing lots of good advice and meeting some pottential 'classmates'.
