Happy New Year Everyone!

Well, that's all she wrote for 2010. I cannot say that I will be sad to see this year pass. It was a long and arduous one full of worry and disappointment. Now is the time for putting 2010 in the rear-view and heading full throttle into 2011. I have several trips planned already and a family vacation that I'm trying to finalize. Hopefully 2011 is the year that I've been waiting for!

Coming up soon on the blog: I'm going to finalize my GPS maps How To so look for that in the next few days. I'm also going to go through my gear and pack and show what I carry and how I carry it. The other day I found an Osprey Aether 60 pack at a local shop... I shouldn't have put it on. Stay tuned because I may have a nice new pack to review!

Occasional Hyker's 2011 Wish List:

• 3 to 4 night backpacking trip to the Cranberry Wilderness
• 2 night trip to central PA along the Loyalsock Trail
• An overnight backpacking trip with my daughter, her first.
• A week long trip with the family to the Upper Peninsula featuring lots of hiking.
• Another 4 quarters of straight 'A's in class.

That's all for now, Happy New Year everyone! See you all in 2011!
