Greetings all. Didn't see a newbie intro thread, so here goes...

Have some experience with backpacking in the Army (former infantryman), aside from that I've been doing it recreationally for about 6 months. I'm fortunate enough to live in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge in North Georgia, and kicking myself for not seriously hitting the trails up here sooner! Anyway, really like the site and glad to be aboard.
