Welcome Amy!
I will get busy and add you to our ever growing list. It takes a little time because there are lists on 8 different pages of this thread (1,7,13,25,78,78,80,and 124) that need to be changed when someone new announces!
I see you are from Jasper, GA. Are you familiar with the Young Harris area? My oldest daughter is a professor at the college there. She also runs the outdoor challenge course (tower and low ropes), and also leads backpacking, repelling, rafting, kayaking, and caving trips affiliated with the college. Maybe we can meet up next time we are in the area to see her! I will admit that it is one of the prettiest areas of the US I have ever seen!

Please do not make yourself a stranger to the DisBoards. We would love to hear all about your adventures and of course we are all here to give

(unwanted)

advice!
I hear the most difficult part about the training classes is figuring out what clothes to pack! There are some restrictions on what you can and can not wear! Make sure you ask what you can wear and then have fun packing!
Again Welcome to the DisBoards Amy and Congratulations on making the panel!
