Have hiked with (green) Superfeet and Hi-tecs for the last 10+ years with absolutely no probs. I am over 50 (yikes!) and on my feet almost all day everyday so I have worn ortho support type shoes...
Well said. Ditto for me! THANKS to all! May the next year bring everyone good health, much happiness and lots of hiking!
I do lots of bone broths, marrow soups, etc., especially in the winter months. I agree that GELATIN is an important nutrition need. However, as much as I love Jello---it is laden with SUGAR which...
Great Review and sounds justly deserved! Congrats to all involved! :sun
As you said , Rash, I think a lot of it is weather related. I thru'd in '02--AWESOME weather year! But, even then, I think the finish rate was 16 %. (someone correct me if u have more accurate...
The Town of Hot Springs, local businesses, local residents and nearby communities are planning a warm WELCOME for the arrival of the WARRIOR HIKE 2013 participants.
Their scheduled arrival...
PICKLED eggs take care of any spoilage possibilities. YUM! (especially if u use liquid from pickled beets--BONUS: you get pretty "sunrise" eggs when u slice 'em)
I don't know what the internet is saying. And, I am not into the mlm hype--but have used it with great success, personally. After gardening, had a nail condition that nothing seemed to cure. ...
Tea Tree Oil is easy to carry and very helpful and has lots of applications, incl yeast infections of any kind. Good for athlete's foot, cuts, etc.
On my thru-hike, I walked into Hot Springs barefoot, rather than wear the poor fitting Garamont boots I had. Wayne at Bluff Mountain Outfitters fitted me with a pair of $49 mid-weight Hi-tecs with...
http://www.hawkmountain.org/ Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Pa was pretty cool. Interesting and worth the time spent.
even better--new LAUNDROMAT!
We sez, "BIG THANKS to alllll those who voted! And, come visit SOON!"
Just today, there were several SBers who'd hunkered down waiting for Sandy to pass and said they had been drawn into the...
Ouch!Ouch! Ouch! Been there, done that. Like you said--SEVERE PAIN! Took a bad fall on the ice and had tears in both knees. But, I didn't have surgery--loooong term healing--about a year--still...
You can only vote once every 24 hrs but you can vote more times if you use different computers, smartphones, handheld devices, laptops, tablets---whatever can connect you to the internet!! THANK YOU...
Overnight Hot Springs inched into FIRST PLACE. THANKS to all who voted!
Remember--you can vote every 24 hrs and as 10K mentioned---from every device u can get ur hands on!
THANKS AGAIN! ...
Yeah, prob not a big deal to some folks.
But, to a tiny town like Hot Springs, positive publicity could bring more people to town which results in more dollars being spent which means more jobs...

Hot Springs...
RE: food/water/parking--sent u p m
Sly, I tend to agree with you. It is what it is. I can understand the extreme discussion but not the 'hate.' I, along with others in Hot Springs, helped them out in several ways----not because she...
LOL--- I didn't see anywhere that she has intimated that she was out to "impress" anyone.
However, she has certainly stirred up a few folks.
I can't condone all her apparent actions but...
I was fortunate enough to score a bed in each hut when I over-nighted. My WFS entailed a couple of "talks," refilling the S & P shakers, wiping out the refrigerators and setting up for the next...
Google 'grapefruit seed extract' in regard to giardia, diarrhea, etc. Easy to find, easy to use, inexpensive per dose and all natural. Best of all----effective.
Hope u feel better SOON!
I have wondered what the conditions are 'back home.' You never know... whatever they're dealing with on the Trail, what they've left behind might be much worse.
