Garfield SOBO was one of my hardest miles on the AT. I hate that mountain. ☺
He finished 3rd at the Sean O'Brien 100K today in 9:15.36. Just missed getting a golden ticket to Western States.
We came through Bear Mountain on Father's Day. Never seen so many people on my life. ☺ Nuclear Lake was a pretty place for lunch, Dover Oak and the cute boardwalk, picturesque water tank. I would...
Baldpate was really cold and wet last July. And there was even some snow in spots inside the Mahousic Notch.
There is a short section just South of Knot Maul that is private land and hikers are asked not yo camp on. Pretty much the area between the VA 42 crossing and the VA 610 crossing. The Quarterways...
July will be a wonderful time to hike this section. Chestnut Knob is waterless that time of year. I would probably walk the extra 1.5 and camp by the pond. Some spots to tent on the back side of...
+1 for Hanging Rock SP
About an hour further North on the Blue Ridge Parkway is the Rock Castle Gorge. Part of the trail is the original AT with the a shelter Earl Shaffer stayed in. 10.5 mile...
I have some Balaef legging that I found on Amazon. Sizing is a little odd but they work for me.
Leaving for Gorham next Friday and hiking North to Caratunk... any idea if this shut down will have any effect on our hike? Our shuttles to and from are not public transportation.
Thanks
After a few years of sidehilling trail in Southwest VA, I did some cursing going up Mr Garfield south bound. The steep boulder crawling was damn tough halfway thru attempting Crawford Notch to...
Definitely start with the big blue tarp. Ollie's has all kinds of them cheap. You can tape on extra tie outs. 10 x 12 is probably bigger than you need but a little extra room is nice when starting...
Thanks Peakbagger and Slo-goin. I really hope to hear a loon.
Thanks TJ and TipToe. Last 2 sections Salisbury to Rutland and Gorham to Rutland have been so easy to get home from. Just walk to the train station from the Yellow Deli. Can't wait to finish the...
Slo-go'en, thanks!
Any advice on must sees or do's?
Not familiar with Maine ABC laws. Will I be able to fill up my flask in any of the towns?
Suggestions on transportation from Caratunk to Portland train...
I would avoid Congdon. Wet and buggy when we passed thru 2 years ago. Wish we had stayed at Goddard, we kept going to Kidd Gore. Love Green Mountain House... perfect place for a zero. Loved...
Plus 1 for calling Betsy. She lives right on the trail. And will find you a place if she is full. Her son thru hiked a few years ago and stayed with a family in NC for a week recoverying from some...
Just use guthooks app and you will be fine. I got confused bear Carter Dome and could figure out where the trail went into the woods at Crawford Notch.
Starting in Gorham would be better. The...
Bust Tail, Build Trail! Our club uses the Konnarock base camp for our Spring outings. Hard work but everyone I have ever met that was a member of one of the crews found it very rewarding. Good...

If you park at the Ranger Station just be sure to know the hours the gate is locked. I think it is locked most if not all of the weekend. Probably an easier section to do Sobo. Our club maintains...
I would try to work Franconia Ridge into a trip to the Whites. We enjoyed our stay at the Notch Hostel.
Thanks so much, Rush!
I know I read this a few years ago and can't find it now. Does anyone have a link to when Matt and his friend ran the Shennadoahs. Hoping to fast pack Rock Fish Gap to Front Royal over a few days...
Great advice, Mags.... GET ON A TRAIL!
I am leading a ATC Family Day Hike in Adkins if anyone wants to meet at the Barn on Sunday at 10am. 2.7 miles with a tour of the Settlers Museum. Bring your...
