Introduction

I love the outdoors and have always wanted to learn to hike. My dream is to one day hike part of the Appalachian Trail. Been inspired ever since reading A Walk in the Woods.

Have you read and understood the "About" page(http://www.meetup.com/eastcoasthikers/about)? (*No new members will be approved if they have not answered this question with some variation of yes)

Yes I have and it did answer all my questions. Glad to know that my running shoes will be ok to wear to tomorrows hike since I don't own hiking boots as of yet.

Do you have any hiking preferences such as easy, short, long, difficult, etc ?

I'm game for a challenge. I've been a runner for decades. Swim and bike, too. So, with proper guidance, I'ld love to do try just about anything.

Do you prefer "car camping" (as in camping in a campground near your car, ie state parks) or backpacking? Or Both? Or maybe neither?

I have never done either! This would all be a new and wonderful experience for me. I do not own any hiking gear as of yet.

What is your favorite place to go hiking (it's doesn't have to be local :)?

Only know of places I have run in the past. Was delighted with my first hike with the group last week in First Landing State Park.

Anything else you want to share about yourself?

I look forward to many hours of great outdoor exercise and new friendships with others who enjoy the same.
