Looking at the pic of your town.

Are you the only one living there?

[Mountain Mike]

Life is about being happy! Each person has to define it for themself. HYOH sort of thing. I've had times where I had more money than I could spend. These days is frugal living. Still I'm happy where I am & what I do. I've quit great jobs because I wasn't happy to follow dreams. If I die broke, so what? I lived a lot of my dreams so far & will continue to do so.

[Gray Blazer]

One morning as steam flowed out of my tent vent a section hiker asked a woman I was hiking with if it was normal for smoke to be coming out my tent. She looked over & replied...pretty much,

A long time ago I asked my new wife if she smoked after sex. She said wait a minute and looked under the covers and said yes.

[Mountain Mike]

Kinda slow this time of day in the winter.

[Mountain Mike]

OK I'm off to work. Have some snow to shovel. Out back it doesn't show in the pic.

Coach - I'm thinking about getting some snowshoes this winter. I've narrowed it down to two different pairs.

First Pair - http://www.rei.com/product/805264/tubbs-snowflake-snowshoes-toddlers

Second Pair - http://www.rei.com/product/822857/msr-lightning-axis-25-snowshoes-mens

Like I said before, great till I got tired of cashing my pay check in singles!

[turtle fast]

I want the toddlers snowshoes!!!! The second pair is good...I especially like the traction afforded by it which is useful on uneven terrain, some others are like iceskates on any ice.

[Mountain Mike]

My mother always said women should be put on a pedestal. It wasn't till later she told me it shouldn't have a pole too!

I hopefully will not ever get 4' of fresh powder. I'm just thinking about it as I wan't to go snow camping and won't know if where I'm going is going to get 2" of 2' of snow. I only get to the mountains a few times each year and don't wan't to have to bail if the snow is over a foot.

The new MSR Snowshoes look incredible. I haven't been snowshoeing in twenty years but would like to start again. The last time I went we were using snowshoes that looked like plastic toy tennis racquets.

That's quite a load you have in that picture. That must have sucked!

my granddaughter fia has set a date of 2035 for her thru hike.shed like to take some time off after college to rediscover the child within

[Train Wreck]

Tv... I was 4... This is incredibly funny to me ... TW would it surprise you that I came off the Holland Line just a year earlier... took six months to get to the US, Our family got off at NYC and Ellis was closed a few months before. We went thru customs and it took 5 hours - and finally my dad had to pay off the police to get thru... from Australia.

That's interesting. I started wandering around looking for more info on Ellis Island and look at the description I found on nyc-architecture.com:

"Upon entering the building, immigrants mounted stairs leading to the second-floor Great Hall which served as the waiting and processing room. A room impressive for its size- - 189 feet long and 102 feet wide with a 60-foot-high vaulted ceiling- -and the abundance of large windows in the east and west walls. The stairs leading to the Great Hall served as a medical treadmill. Doctors waited at the top to check the breathing, posture, gait, and general physical fitness of people as they made the climb. For many the stairs took on a special meaning, for those feeble from sickness or old age could be marked for rejection at that point."

That's just mean!

[Wise Old Owl]

Yea they were rejected... This is well known, and understand this .. what a privilege to live in USA.

I hopefully will not ever get 4' of fresh powder. I'm just thinking about it as I wan't to go snow camping and won't know if where I'm going is going to get 2" of 2' of snow. I only get to the mountains a few times each year and don't wan't to have to bail if the snow is over a foot.

The new MSR Snowshoes look incredible. I haven't been snowshoeing in twenty years but would like to start again. The last time I went we were using snowshoes that looked like plastic toy tennis racquets.

That's quite a load you have in that picture. That must have sucked!

A lot of FS roads are closed in snow. The road to Tellico Gap is usually open. The Nantahalas are awesome in the snow (see my gallery). You can drive to the top of Camp Creek Bald. Do you have 4-wheel drive? Sometimes you can drive to Carver's Gap if the hard road is melted and cleared of snow. There is road access to Overmountain Shelter (about 1 mile from the shelter).

Camp Creek and Tellico are the best places to access the AT in the snow as far as parking close to the peaks. Good hammocking and tent camping on Rocky Bald.

He can hire a car... but than normally entails a driver too! HYOH!

Hey hiring a driver may not be a bad idea, since the steering wheel is on the "wrong side". I remember after living in Singapore and coming home to the US for Christmas and strugling with the steering wheel on the left at first, the worst part was that I kept hitting the windshield wipers when I meant to hit the turn signal.

If you've never been up the Silver River from the Ocklawaha, you're missing one of the major wonders of nature. Lots of good memories for me.

Sgt. Rock and LW convinced me to leave my water filter home. Usually the mnt springs are nice but my water source on that overnighter was the creek that flowed below the latrine on the hill. I'll never leave my filter again. (BTW-Katahdin pump filter).

Still going. My dad would freak me out cuz he'd be jockeying for position with the glass bottomed boats. Those commercial capt would be glaring at him. At 10 I did not realize that waterways weren't privately owned. There used to be a cypress tree near the Ocala Boat Basin that we could jump about 50 feet straight down into the Silver River.
