[at-l] Any body want to talk thru hiking?

[Thomas Fort]

To put this into a more precise question.... 

What motivated you to hike and when? Did life dictate the timing, or,
were you more exacting?

Within the next couple of months, I will be homeless, somewhat bill-less
(only scheduled minimums to credit cards), and ... god forbidit ...
Jobless.   At my age, 46, I may never get this chance again.  At least
not before I retire. How many out there would like to voice an opinion
about whether you would consider a thru, your 1st ever, next February
1st?  Like anything, there are cons.  I *may* miss out on a good job
market where I'll move to; The idea just plain scares me.    However, I
am sure there will be some superior mind growth to it.  

I'd love to listen to your opinions.
