Ugh, Thanks, Puddlefish. I was afraid of that. I am going back out in late June after teaching my summer session. Sounds as if it will be best to wait.
I have some time off between semesters, and lack the 30 miles in Northern New Hampshire from Pinkham Notch to the Maine border. Does anyone know what trail conditions are at that time of year? It is...
I lack about 30 miles from Pinkham Notch-Wild Cat Ridge to the Maine border. I have some time between my spring and summer teaching semesters. Can anyone tell me if the trail is icy still in Mid-late...
Hi, My husband will be slacking me in June, 2015 for the first 100-110 miles of Vermont. Is there anyone out there who might know if my road crossing are workable? I can respond by stating crossing...
Oh dang, I remember that place-we stayed there last year!
Actually, I use the smaller one (pint?). My hands are average-I just dip one hand in with the little cloth....
Hey Thanks Hikes in Rain,
I might try the milk container set up. I too, wear contacts and am very careful about using clean hands. The freezer bag seem sturdy enough for me-I am watchful of it and...
I have found a helpful way to freshen up at the end of the hiking day. I take about 6 oz. of water and place in a freezer bag, propping it up so it won't spill. I have a 3 x3 piece of cloth and Tom's...
pafarmboy-Thanks for the sleeping bag suggestion-I love my20 degree bag, and will bring it for warmth. I've heard that many hikers retrieve warmer weather clothing too before the whites. Would you...
Hey HighLiner,
Yep, in the AT world, we're almost neighbors!
Gotcha LoneStranger. I have one, but have not had to use it yet. Will pack it for sure.
Thanks peakbagger. I am more likely to try to enjoy than push and get injured.
Praying for you right now. I am a big believer in the power of prayer. God bless you.
Good luck alegria7. Go for it.
I am getting close to finishing the AT after 3 summers of section hiking. This year my teaching schedule affords me 26 June-13 August to complete VT, NH, ME. (I have already hiked about 80 miles of...

Love this post!
Wow, this might be the thing I am looking for. I hiked last summer in an old tennis skirt and compression shorts. This looks easier and cooler.
Well done! Is the fabric like yoga pants?
Since I don't see anyone mentioning this, personally I love using a deodorant crystal.
It seems to prevent smells from developing in the first place for me. You know, in the lady places.
I just...
Thanks Spirit Walker-will do on the gear.
My hiking partner and I will pick up our northbound section hike this spring just south of Front Royal, Virginia. I have questions about weather, mainly about the potential for very cold weather at...
Hey PapaGarrett, and others-
We have the same set up for sleeping bags and liners. We each have a tent, but would it be best to plan to stay only in shelters this time of year?
Right now our...
Thanks for your replies. We were out last spring (Springer and north) so I remember the weather in Northern Georgia and near the border of NC.
Just wondering about potential for a dump of snow or...
My hiking partner and I plan to pick up our NOBO section hike at Hot Springs. We have the first week of March open because of spring break. Is this an ok idea "weather wise"? Has anyone been up there...
