Thanks all for the suggestions. Looks like I will take bus from Lincoln, NH to Boston, MA and fly out from there.
It looks like the bus that goes through Lincoln does not stop in Manchester airport. The morning run (#17) looks like it goes to Concord and could get to downtown Manchester but not the airport.
I'm looking to arrange for shuttle from Lincoln, NH to Manchester Airport for two hikers on 7/15. Before I start calling around I thought I would post here to see what I could find.
You didn't say how wide your feet are. If you really have wide feet (I have 4E), there are only a few choices. I use New Balance but typically most of their boots while fit well do not last too long...
Well, I think you should find the most thru hikers are past MD by Labor Day. However, if are in the mood to share and pack an extra snickers bar, I've never seen anyone turn it down at a shelter I've...
I carry the footprint. It does help protect and keep try the bottom of the tent. But it also serves as a ground cloth below my air mattress if I stay in a shelter (keeping the splinters and mouse...
I arrive at 11:38am.
Starting a 300 mile section hike this Friday. What is the best way to get from the Harrisburg Airport to Duncannon?
IT band issues require RICE as described above to get better. Once better, STRETCH, STRETCH, STRETCH (search the internet). The IT band does not "want" to stretch and you have work on it. A common...
Propel powder: good, light
Mio Energy products: lots of caffeine!
Gatorade Energy Chews: I found these worked great! A few chews would give the juice to finish out a long day of hiking. However...
Try AlpineQuest. I use it for local hikes. After the hike I export that data, clean it up with "gpsprune". I then import into Google Earth to track all my hikes.
For the AT, I skip the GPS and I...
Only commenting on the southern half of the trial I have done so far..

Your 5 month old husky might not be too happy with all the steps. Instead you can take the old AT path to the right and ends up at the top of the falls. It is marked with blue blazes.
Same problem here. I think I have tried every flavor in insole. I have very wide feet including wider heels. While the superfeet can be cut to size, it only does so in the toe area. I have been...
Going to miss confusing signs, the smell and getting water in the stream just short of the sign for the (chemical) dump.

Carry one of these http://www.seatosummit.com/products/display/72. I use the 10L.
Use it to carry water from the spring up to camp and then treat water from there. I usually can get enough for...
My advice, talk to your doctor. There are all sorts of braces but they are all for different problems. For example the Cho-Pat won't help at all with MCL , ACL, can help a little with IT band problem...
I carried a shovel on my first section hike 6 years ago. Never used it nor have needed it since. Walk off the trail 100 yards anywhere (way away from shelter/water) and you will find soft ground that...
Yes, I have the same problem
Yes, I wish I could get a wider Neo-Air
When your elbow drop to ground level while on a pad, it puts the nerve running through your elbow at the exact point to...
"ATN The Appalachian Trailways News" - I believe the Appalachian Trail Conservancy news magazine is called "A.T. Journeys"
"Bald" - A bald is typically a peak of mountain that is lacking trees....
Now this is funny. All those time when hiking alone for hours, looked up at a black object and had my heart race only to find it was a stump. I though it was just me!
I second the Panasonic DMC-TS5D mentioned above. I have the older version of this (DCM-TS3) and love it. It is really rugged. I have dropped a number of times and since it is waterproof, I keep it...
Or go through the arch and turn right (not left), like I did by mistake. This is also a blue blaze trail to the top of the falls following the older trail. I had no idea where exactly the falls were...
FYI - not all duct tape is the same. There are all sorts of tape qualities and tape adhesives. I've had some that fell off as soon as it rained and others that actually pulled my skin off with it...
"Got shoes that fit."
Just because a shoe is the correct length (and it should be 1/2 longer because you feet will strech) it does not mean it fits. Try different styles, manufacturers. Two shoes of...
