Not sure about the approach trail – one of a hundred details I need to work out
Looking forward to meeting all you folks that have a similar aliment to mine
Folks on this thread are talking about spare batteries. Has anyone tried portable solar chargers. What is your experience or what have you heard?
Interesting bit about Myron Avery not being a fan of "fast hiking" and possibly also writing "The Big Trails Challange" article. While I'm still trying to get my hands on the original article from...
Spokes,
your suggestion worked. The folks that manage the Earl Shaffer web site responded. They said that the article in question was called "The Big Trail's Challenge" that was in the January...
Thanks Spokes, I'll try the good folks that support the Earl Shaffer web page.
Funny Waits line in your tagline. My favorite (so far) is "the big print giveth and the small print taketh away"...
According to AT lore, in 1947 Earl Shaffer read a magazine article about the AT that claimed that a person could not complete a thru hike in a single season. My questions are, does anyone know what...
JohnnyJohnson,
I'm planning a thru hike in 2013 and I was planning on doing research on the local brews. If you are planning the same type of project I'll follow you. Will you be posting to trail...
I realize that there have been heightened warnings on use of ground fire at AT shelters as a result of the dry conditions in the mid-Atlantic. Has there been any specific restrictions placed on use...
Have there been any absolute restrictions on ground fires as a result of this condition? We have a planned walk in the Duncannon PA area at the end of this month
so the parking lot is on the east side of the river (Duncannon on the west side)?
I'm planning a walk on the AT from Duncannon to route 325 just north of Peters Mountain. We need to leave several cars in Duncannon for 2 nights. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where we can...
Dude,
These are some imaginative challanges. Who thinks of these things? I guess if you spend enough time on the trail...one step in front of the other...crazy thoughts just creep in. My favorite...
I hear you Del Q.
When I'm on a 3 or 4 day walk I can go without hot food (although I would miss a warm cup of tea when it gets nippy).
I'm doing some tests in preparation for an...
yes - it was brand new. I popped the seal at the camp site
I recently took a 2 day hike on the AT at the Delaware Water Gap when the temperature dipped down into the teens. My Jetboil cooking system couldn't hold a flame and boil water at that temperature...
Interesting series of posts. The fact that we are using up so much keypunch energy discussion racism or religious badgering on the trail in this day and age is sad. That it might be directed at a...
Are there overnight parking opportunities in the area of Dahlgren Backpacker Campground or Turner Gap in Maryland?
Laurie,
If you could stretch that time to be from noon on Friday till about 1:00pm on Monday then we could have a deal and I would bring in 2 cars to shade your parking lot over the weekend...kind...
Thanks for the offer Jester.
If we are not in Harpers Ferry by 5:00 we have bigger problems (like not getting to the first shelter by 6:00). There will be 4 or 5 of us and we hope to cake walk...
I need to leave a car in Harpers Ferry for a couple of days while I walk down from PenMar park to Harpers Ferry. Is the best place to leave the car at the Visitors Center for the Harpers Ferry...
Shoe, you mentioned a hostel 5 miles from Pogo camp ground. Would that be north or south on the AT. I was aware of hostel's in Harpers Ferry, but didn't know of any in Maryland along the AT
I'm planning a walk in Maryland from Harpers Ferry to Pen Mar Park and I have some questions about the shelters supporting this part of the AT. Didn't there used to be a Hemlock Hill Shelter north...
I'm planning a walk across Maryland from Harpers Ferry to Pen Mar park. I'm aware of the Dahlgren Back Pack Campground. Some of my guidebooks/maps also refer to a Pogo Campground and an Annapolis...
