Not new to hiking...but an introduction.

Post by al0861 » July 5th, 2008, 2:54 am

Hi there,

I've decided to stop lurking on this wonderful site...step into the light, and say hello. (It could have something to do with the fact that it's 3:45 am and stepping out of comfort zones are possible at that time.) Anyway, I've been an avid hiker for several years now, although in the last couple it's become somewhat obsessive. I hike once a week during the year....and then usually travel and hike throughout the summer.

I think you have done amazing work with this site. It has been a great resource to me.

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Thanks for stepping bravely into this wacky and wonderful world of sharing our hiking addictions Annie! We are all "somewhat obsessive" but you have support here : )
Please share your hiking and travel adventures with us when you can, and welcome again!

Welcome to the site, Annie! I thought Jeff was the only one up at that hour.
