1. It is an awesome hike

Had to do it in two hitches but we are going to go all the way in a couple of years. My sister is going next year alone.

2. take me, take me...

I will probably have to do it alone, but I don't mind... just need to find the time and money... I become restless and excited everytime I allow myself to seriously consider it...

4. Wish I was capable of such things anymore.

I used to love to backpack in the Rockies. Did some 8 to 12 mile hikes but nothing like that.

I have a radio called the ATS3b, just meant to carry on the AT, multi-band ham radio for
communicating on the ham bands at 5 watts power, fits in an altoids tin.

13. I'd love to do this trek;

However, I'm on Warfarin (think falling down and bleeding to death with a gash in the leg or whatever) and had spinal fusion (think becoming a paraplegic because of the same fall as mentioned above).

Then again, having a lifetime death wish, I'll meet you there!

15. you're on!

I was just looking at maps... I just might settled for doing it in sections

14. When I get my new lungs....

I will want to hike on parts in each state...

Couldn't do the whole thing, the repaired hip wouldn't hold up....
