Been a long time since I been on WB. I forgot how entertaining these posts can be.

Sure glad to not be on the GA AT the past few days....yea...I admit.... I'm a whimp ! BBRrrrrr

We may need...

I bought a PN 30 from REI on sale a way back for $199. Not an expert with a GPS, but have noticed a lot of the north Georgia trails are on the topo.
If you're going to carry it on the AT, beware...

Wondering if that bear is still hanging around the old shelter on Blood.

Still wonder about reactions of those hanging, when a bear rubs it's back on the bottom of a hammock ! <G>

Yes...thats the place Pirate is at.

About the last week of June, we were walking just a few miles east, along Cochran Creek, and walked up on a Mama Bear with three cubs. Cubs climbed up trees.... we backed off about 100ft down the...

I bought a roll of " soft " tyvek... the stuff they make painter's suit..scrub suits, etc out of. Washed it one time.... NO SOAP ! Works great. !

Just wish it came in colors.... made a...

Walked the Blood Mtn Loop two weeks ago and met some campers at Blood Shelter that said the bear was there that night. Don't know why people insist on camping there, when they know the bear...

There are water falls all over Georgia, but along that section of trail I don't recollect anything really nice. Well,,, if you mean, something within a mile of the trail.

You have Helton Creek...

I have a four foot black rat snake that thinks she owns my basement. Everytime I throw her out, she beats me back to the house ! lol Guess I should give her a name.

Rather easy thing to do is to place an mini address label on bottom of camera.... inside battery compartment... on a battery... on the SD Card...etc.
That way, if you lose your camera, the...

Maybe they don't like me, but I hike the Georgia Mtns 2-3 times a week and I haven't seen a tick yet.

I just went to site... and had no trouble at all ordering an item... viewing previous orders, etc... Windows XPPro... on DSL. Looked just fine to me.

Bird Conspiracy ?? Last week as I played on my computer, something big flew into the tree outside my window. I immediately spotted a Pileated Woodpecker, and grapped my camera. Found the bird in...

Have a great trip man... don't get lonely, you'll see no one but snakes... until you get to a campground anyways ! <G>

Hope you got on the old trail section and got to see the smaller water falls, to the right.

We'll be doing several water falls around Turner's Corner this weekend, you're welcome to join us.

I used soft tyvek... machine sewed it and then washed it. Everything appears fine so far. Oh... I did seal the seams after washing it, we'll see what happen in the rain.

I used what they call " Soft Tyvek " , like what they make clothes out of... painter's coveralls, etc.... I washed it in warm water and its so soft. No noise !

Great to hear you'll be on the trail with us soon !

Didn't know where to put this, so move wherever it needs to be. Found this on another hiking board, just thought there may be some interests

Like someone above said.... Good Lord, what do you people do to your poles !??! Mine are a year old, with over 700 miles on them, and I've had no problems at all. I did lose a basket, but picked...

Personally, I can't wait to see the pictures of the first 30ft boa constrictor someone spots on the Florida Trail. Seems they have really taken a liking to south Florida. There was a news article...

Met a young man pulling off the trail one day, loaded up with all the best gear money could buy.... but 30 miles had whipped his ass ! He talked with me for maybe an hour, and all that came out of...
