Might not be a bad idea. You might get some bureaucrat that the onlly excise they get is polishing a chair with their but & think you are crazy in your stated intentions for coming to USA. Just today I was watching Cash Cab (game show) & question was about 2100 mile trail from Springer Mt GA > Mt Katahdin, ME. Guy had to use a phone in help tip.

[OzJacko]

Thanks but I think I'll be right.
Still have to have the face to face with someone from your consulate but between the ATC and I think Hiker Hostel offer their address as well should have no problems.
An online form doesn't have the same levels of understanding as a real person (hopefully).

I like that torture they did in the Iraqi prison where they made the guys wear girls underwear on their head. If that's torture I guess I can't tell you what I did on New Year's Eve while I was being tested for low T.

Hey MM can you camp at Woody Gap?

[Mountain Mike]

18962I think I have. Before Sasafrass MT? Ops checked my companion. Don't recall no camping signs. If there is there are several good sites not to far beyond & off the road. Not my thru, believe a mile or so beyound Woody Gap

[Wise Old Owl]

I will give you a quick response as Gooch Shelter and Woods Hole is the shelter - Woody Gap is a parking lot on Highway 60 inbetween the shelters - there appears to be water sources about a mile south from the lot.

Thanks WOO. I'm looking at the 2013 NOBO AT Guide. I was wondering if people camp in or around the parking lot.

[Astro]

Not keen on ducks either.
Their droppings are disgusting....

My parents had a 30 acre lake on our property I grew up on in Florida. When in college we has a lot of ducks, sounds neat, but they made a mess of the back patio. Come home from the next break in college and no more ducks. Ask my parents what happened? They tell me while I was gone they had an alligator. Evidently before they got rid of him, he enjoyed some duck dinners.

[Mountain Mike]

Refer to my updated post. I was thinking of gap between Hawk & Gooch initialially. Seldom used FS road & there is water down in the ravine. Camped there night #2 of my thru.

[atmilkman]

Thanks WOO. I'm looking at the 2013 NOBO AT Guide. I was wondering if people camp in or around the parking lot.

Nahh I love the smell of fresh ink! My dad was a printer, and I really do like the smell. And the old purple mimeograph stuff. :banana

We had one those blue (purple?) memegraph machines at our church when I was growing up. It definitely had a unquie smell to it.

Yes except in 98 I was in Europe and UK and as an example OZ$1 roday is 65 UK pence, in 98 it was 32 UK pence.

Thanks guys. I gotta hit the hay. Got maintenance in the morning. Gotta run a big ole mower that'll work ya pretty good. And it rained today so I'll be havin' to plow that bitch through water too. All in good fun. See ya later.

[Mountain Mike]

Night Milkman.

[Astro]

Thanks WOO. I'm looking at the 2013 NOBO AT Guide. I was wondering if people camp in or around the parking lot.

No one did when I was there. Two campsites about 3 miles beyond (one a little less, one a little more). Sets you up for approximately 8 miles to Neels Gap and avoid the area you now need to have a bear canister,

[Wise Old Owl]

even tho the highway is remote, I would never camp near a road...

[Astro]

Ah, Milkman, you left just when I finally got caught up. Have fun tomorrow.

[Mountain Mike]

I wouldn't camp there. Gooch is close by & plenty of flat camping areas beyond before you reach the Bear zone.

[Astro]

even tho the highway is remote, I would never camp near a road...

Unfortunately, that is good advice. Especially on the weekend.

[Train Wreck]

$2.44 plus the leftovers from my food bag from last hiking trip
.....2 discarded Snickers wrappers, 1 string cheese packet expiration date 2-15-08.

[OzJacko]

Have to go now.
Overtime shift tomorrow so effectively starting a 6 day week.
Before I go thought I would leave one that all dog owners will understand....

Problem with hiking in the rain near home, you get tired of it after a while and cut it short and just go home. Where as on the AT, you have to just keep going until you get to your shelter or wharever next destination.

I'm back from my hike to Wilson Creek Shelter.. it was a B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. day on the trail. Only 5 miles out and back but soooo nice to be outside in January!

Hey, Mountain Mike, I was looking at your new gallery photos. Do you remember the location of those shots? The muddy one looks like a lot of Tennessee that I remember :)

My backpack is getting dissed on another thread cause it's supposedly made in China.

Unfortunately a lot of stuff is now days. Sure I would prefer to buy stuff made in the USA, but that is not always practical. And once I own something I not going to get rid of it just because of where it was made. As long as you are happy with it, I would not worry about it.

The paint they were gonna use to blaze the whites was made in China. So they opted not to blaze in the purist tradition.

Well, of course, I would prefer to buy American made products, but that wasn't the point of the thread. The OP is asking about the reputation of Gregory packs - not trying to debate on overseas production.
Just for grins, here's a picture of my first backpack - borrowed from someone.

I have done some quality cyber hiking the last couple of days. Work conferences are a great time to stretch the ol' cyber hiker legs.

You can watch the smallest large screen TV in the world. Some day we might even get an antenna for it. Still the snowy screen is a distraction.

Great photo. We hiked a section of the JMT back in 1992 with a couple of good friends. It was the North Lake / South Lake loop if I recall correctly. If you guys hold on for a few minutes, I'll see if I can find and scan the photo. That was a truly memorable hike and I would love to go back to the Sierras again.

[Mountain Mike]

Difference of right coast vs left coast hiking. Snow doesn't really mean cold. They just get so much on left side it takes forever to melt.

[Mountain Mike]

Like most in 95 I aborted my thru hike of PCT & skipped around the Sierras due to heavy snow pack. Not so much because of the snow but the fords. In 98 I made up the section SOBO starting Donner Pass & ending coming out & over Mt Whitney in a Labor Day snowstorm.

[Mountain Mike]

I would DEFINITELY ad a hike in the Sierras as a bucket list hike!
