Hi Adrift, I was in that neighborhood last year, Minerva Hinchey is classic old style LT Camp, meaning it's dark, damp, well chewed and infested with all kinds of varmints. Wouldn't return there for...

Hey TV, I am thinking to start at Waynesboro, VA north to Katahdin then Waynesboro to Springer, similar to your plans but a couple weeks to 1 month earlier. Want to hit the swimming holes in New...
Anyone out there ever started or thought about starting at Waynesboro for the Shenandoahs? Would like to chat if you did or are, seems brilliant but what do y'all think?
I would just love to be post menopausal BUT...I did some research and there are real dangers to women over forty, and even for women under forty these things are not entirely benign for all, sure...
hilarious, Maren, I shave my head every couple of weeks being a buddhist nun, who cares what others think? They won't wonder for long anyway and it is soo comfortable!
Isn't the ATC's DataBook the most complete and concise list anymore? handy to know which way to turn when you get to a road too...
Ohh I like that! thanks
What does the experienced crowd have to say about starting at Springer early April and hiking to HF then flying N to Katahdin and hiking south to HF for a complete thru hike?
There are some other things to think about here as well, for one not calling this a "heart problem" which puts you in a basket with other cripples and diseases, instead address it as: "sometimes my...
Hey Tomman, I won't be starting quite that early, a couple-few weeks later I expect but hope to meet you on the trail, used to be a CVICU nurse, don't really know what it is like for someone after...
hi out there - I watched a you tube on how to make a soda can stove with two can bottoms, a piece of fiberglass batting and a thumbtack to punch holes. Is this the most common design? I was surprised...
has anyone tried these? I recall reading about native american runners using just a handful a day for long journeys?

I would like to have a or some hiking partner(s) but I know how difficult it is - like impossible :) but despite both good and bad experiences still think planning ahead is easier than trying to...
Am thinking late March or early April and hope to connect with others for friendship and encouragement. Have to start slow, easy walking now with sore knee after recent fall. Slow start will help...
