Pct2006 yahoo group

I set up a Yahoo! Group account for all of us PCT06ers. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pct2006
for planning and sharing. I figure more people will join if it is available early, so we can be sure to stay in touch during and after our trip.

See you in April!

Why set up a separate group? Why not use the existing forums? Yahoo means lots and lots of spam.

There are Yahoo groups from previous years of PCT thru-hikers, and from what I understand, they are a success. An online group is a great way to share ideas and keep in touch with people you meet along the trail.

If you don’t want to be part of, don’t be part of it.

Iron Chef (PCT 2002) and Belcher (PCT 2003) set up Yahoo! groups for 2002 and 2003 hikers respectively. I belong to both and I do not get spam.

These groups are a great idea! We participate in the other forums, but we can also have specific discussions within the Yahoo! group which are unique to our sub-group of the hiking community.

Kathleen - I think it’s a great idea! I am the moderator of one group and belong to several others and I can attest to the fact that yahoo groups don’t get spam. I’ll see you there! Looking forward to meeting you!

That’s changed then. I haven’t checked out yahoo for a while because I was badly burned a few years ago. I’m glad to hear it has gotten better.

Thank you Kathleen…I have been talking this idea up with the ADZ folks as well and they will assist in doing this list i am sure…I have gotten quite a few posts about the class of 06 and its time to get something going…WE should have a better snow year in SO Cal so it might be a banner year, after the last heavy snow year in 98 we had a high turnout in 99…never too early to think PCT…
