I definitely agree. Way out of line. Good luck bemental! I hope you guys can find a solution to make the best of your hike. I bet it took a lot of guts to post something controversial like that on...

Thanks so much! Very helpful!

A couple of you mentioned a pad for the dog to sleep on. I am curious because I have never used a pad for my dog before. Is it to get them off the ground for the cold weather or is it primarily just...

No attitude problem at all =) I plan to do just that. Control myself and my dogs and enjoy a wonderful hike =)

Hey lady, I will be starting my NOBO trek Mid April of 2016, solo with my 2 dogs. Hopefully we will meet up somewhere along the trail! I will be 29 then, and am hoping to complete the trail in 5...
