I am not posting much these days, but REI send me a 25% online coupon and I want to buy a great set of trail runners and I need some help. First, I have large bunion on my left foot and it as been...

I don't visit here as much as I used to, and this may have come up before. I have a rather large bunion on my left foot and it causes me problems on hikes. I have tried stretching my boot at the...

Yeah, most of the articles were about trips I could only dream of taking. But, there were a few good tips there but not as good or as many as here on WB.

I just received an offer to receive Backpacker magazine for $16 for 2 years. I have received it in the past. Should I take it. Opinions please.

I have a number for Gene Roll, and Joyce and Sally.
Does anyone know if they still shuttle or if not what other shuttles are in the area. I need to meet at Standing Indian campground and be...

I have done searches but can't seem to find a good description of the loop. What I know is to park at the campground and take the Kimsey Creek trail to the AT at Deep Gap mile 85.4. But where do you...

[QUOTE=jdc5294;1839551]here's the silhouette of the GATC guy, if interested I can email the vector file of it so it can be scaled to any resolution, this is most likely what the engravers of the...

Money can get almost anything done if you are willing to spend it.

I see your point. But let me clarify something. This symbol is going on a flower vase on one side of the headstone, about 6 in by 8 in, not the headstone itself. Maybe they could do an AT symbol...

Thank You, that's Want I wanted. Can you send it by PM. James

You know we are like cars. Age is not that important, its how many miles we have on us. I am high mileage.

I have seen a few a already. This is the one I may settle for, if I can't get a better one.

Today, my wife and I chose our headstone. We both want symbols that describe who we are. Since she is a nurse, she is using a nursing symbol. I want to have a hiking symbol. I have been trying to...

The crocs I have weigh 16 oz. I think that is the best I can do since I need size 13. They are also very comfortable and work great fording rivers.

I have read a trail journal of a retired man who thru-hiked with both a knee and hip replacement. Alas I lost the link last year wen I lost a hard drive

I love coffee as well. I drink it year round, whether winter or in the heat of summer. However lately because of stomach erosions I have had to cut back and only have a cup or 2 after eating. Its...

One of the tornados on April 27, 2011 in North Alabama, cut a path across Sipsey. When some friends of mine and I hiked there that summer, one of the main trails was closed. The less traveled...

I may get into trouble for this, but this is one way you can avoid paying some taxes. Just something else to keep you going.

I work in retail as well and the company has a satisfaction guarantee too. People do take advantage of them, but the company as a whole is doing very well, so something is working. I totally agree...

Great news, keep it up! Hikers know that you don't see very many cigarette butts very far away from a trailhead for a reason. Most smokers can't make it very far. Esp in the mountains.

BTW, I rubbed the stuff all over my arms and legs and still don't feel a rash, so I guess I am not susceptible to the oils. :banana


Come back in a couple of days and tell us how you did. I...

Correction, they at at Dahlonega, GA. They pick you up at Woody gap

For a special treat, how about getting picked up by the folks at Hiker Hostel at Woody Gap, and spend a night there for a hot shower and great breakfast. They will drop you off back at Woody Gap to...

I work hard for my money, and pay my taxes. Why should anyone care where I spend the rest. If I was the young man on this mission, I would respect those who don't want to hear God's message and not...

I opened and used a bottle of Aqua Mira 18 months ago. It has a exp date of May 2015. I thought I read they are good for only a year after opening. I need to know if it is still effective and safe...
