My family and I hiked from Green Corner Road to Hot Springs 8-12 AUG and found that the water was low in spots, but no real issue otherwise.
Super! Thanks Tampa Leo and 58Starter.
Same here. Anybody been that way of late?
Mine has always been perfect as well. I have had both the SPOT 1 and 2. The SPOT 2 is much better especially at communicating what it is doing. Even worked in Afghanistan and Kuwait...
Thanks Top, the kids and I are heading out next week. I actually switched from my MIOX filter to a pump style in anticipation of small pools. I'll post an update when we finish.
Hi all,
Does anybody have a recent update as to the water situation in the park? Getting ready for a hike of the AT through the park and was curious. I checked the area weather and it appears...
Love my little PR! It does well and only has a few limitations that were previously mentioned. Not much of a simmer, but great for boiling!
Thanks Mountain Dog. I parked at Bear lake and did an overnight to Hurricane Lake just last weekend. The only issue I had was some lack of marking on the Wiregrass Trail and my own fault for...
I have had the Vector for about 5 years now. Only one problem since new and that was the bezel falling off while I was in Kosovo. It may have been all the extra gear and such that we always...
He is a big boy!
Without sounding too mushy, I saw my first Black Bear in the wild while on the ground this last August. It was beautiful, as black as coal, with a very brown muzzle. Beautiful...
Dough,
I started out in Royal Blue which was junior to Red flight, but was set back two weeks to Gray Flight. I got out of guns after Germany (Giebelstadt) and went Medevac until two years ago. ...
Thanks MOWGLI, I will. I am going to need to hike to keep from going crazy being in an Army class 8 hours a day!!
Thanks for the information and the offer. I have to get to the school to see just how much time I will have, and then figure out dates. I appreciate the offer for company, and will yell if I go...
Thanks for the kind offer Cuffs.
Rock,
You got that right, I feel the same way. A guy who flew with me in my younger Cobra days said "you, a safety guy..." I think he was implying I was a bit wilder then, but age and lost...
Mother Rucker for the Aviation Safety Officer Course... I am taking two Masters classes while there as well to fill in the time. I may not have time to hike!!
Thanks for the info Cuffs and Rock. I will be attending a "death by powerpoint" school and will need some relief. The info is very helpful.
I am also looking at the FT as well as I will already...
Hi all,
Does anyone have any good information on the availability of parking at the Southern Terminus of the PT? I saw something on the website saying that the area on top of Flagg Mt. went...
My association with the AT helped cement the fact that family is EVERYTHING, and time spent with them in the woods is priceless.
BC,
What flight school class were you? I was 83-47 Gray Flight which graduated June 1984, and I followed on to the Cobra course.
I religiously followed two hikers last year on Trail Journals, and one dropped due to injury and the other due to family issues. I would say that arranging things on the home front should rank up...
I apparently missed the earlier post, and will in the future refrain from making any humorous comments regarding Trial Litigation. It was foolish of me, and I hope will not lead to papers in the...
Sorry Frosty, no offense intended. It was merely a comment on the crazy necessity to post a disclaimer on a hiking website. Sort of like the guy who sued Piper for running out of fuel because the...
Leatherman has a new lighter tool coming out in February called the "Skeletool", which weighs in at 5 ounces. Here is an article in Popular Mechanics:...
Nice post Ashman. Very similar to what we receive in the military before heading overseas. It is nice of you to offer it to the White blaze community, some of which are younger pups who may need...
