Looking forward to it...I'm starting at PCT in ~ 2 weeks at Campo, Monday 5/16/2011...I'm hiking up to South Lake Tahoe this year, my son is going to join me just north of Tehachapi...I'm going to have a couple of my friends see me a couple of days...but, most of my first 600 miles just me...let me know if your starting...let me know. Thanks, Todd Wagner
