#1
														To the Class of 2014 Appalachian Trail Thru Hikers.  I will be thru hiking the A.T. in 2015.  Currently I live in Georgia however, am a true Mainer and travel back and forth 2-3 Times a year.  If any 2014er is interested in a transcriber for their Journal entries I am at your service. Email me at Sunshine91265.lj@gmail or you can find me in the 2015 group. If I can help any other way please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

																	Me too.  I am not the best word smith and grammarian, so what does a transcriber do compared to an editor?

																	Basically just deciphers your scribbles aka(your journal notes) and enters them into your journal for you.  Some hikers don't carry electronics or being on the trail are unable to get signals to keep an online journal...so they mail them each time they go in town to someone willing to do it for them.

																	I have done this for a few hikers over the years. It's a fun way to stay close to the trail if you are unable to hike it. After 6 hikes nobody I kept a journal for made it to Harpers Ferry. Mabey you will have better luck Lisa.
