VA to NYC for $35--check the site for your needs. Often they are close to greyhound stations (same place in Boston) so that you might go to Boston via gotobus.com and continue to Bangor on Greyhound...

Nice thing about staying in shelters is that even if you aren't getting any, you get to listen to others who are.

Seems like this is a question or respect rather than segregation, and it seems like the answer being given is go to facebook. ok...

Are there 20 under 20 on this site? That would sound like a forum quarum to me--speak up if you are there. I think the fact that this need cannot be seen by some, speaks to the need--young folks...

When hiking with one other, I find it nice to do own breakfast and lunch and to take turns making an evening meal for two--nice to have someone else's cooking sometimes. But gear, yes everybody all...

I am used to sleeping (3-season) with a half/torso pad (blue foam). I now have a big agnes Erkel, and while I know you can use it with a half pad (and I have a full pad to fit it), I am wondering if...

And dried pony poop is a great fire starter.

You would run into a fair amount of section hikers and weekend folks in VA in March--maybe me being one of those. And...I always like getting out there for the running of the bulls, thru hikers that...

You need a light sealable container to soak them in, but after that you can move seeds to baggies, maybe containing them in something to keep them from being crushed--imagine day 1 in jar, day 2 in...

I just bought a used down bag, and it is clean other than smelling like it lived in a house with a smoker. Any short cuts around a full cleaning? Was going to try fabreze and sunshine. Got the...

I have always thought of hiking as in part a walking meditation, one foot in front of the other, getting into a groove. David
