Out of curiosity....did anyone "second" the nomination?
I'm going to be doing the same thing starting the 16th of May. Have a 7 day shake down hike planned. So looing forward to it.
Goldenbear, thank you so much for your excellent post. Success teaches us nothing, only failure teaches. You have done a great service in sharing your story.
My first overnight hike included a couple of mountains on the AT in NH, setting up the tent (with two other guys) in a swamp right on the trail in a sleet storm, and spending half the next day making it 1.7 miles to the shelter over icy rocks. You are not alone!
this is a very cool story and experience, i never hiked anything, i think u are full of emotions when hike is successful =)
white tornado(tn) i hike week trips and wonder if u have any cool tool and gagets you could tell me about
You don't carry a headlamp???? You crazy!!! Hint: If you sleep in shelters, carry a mousetrap! Mouser
