Information on several trail loops in that area.

That other person at Wise shelter who spread his food out on the floor is not a hiker, he's an idiot. I have had bears come right up to the shelters several times. Too bad that the bears are the ones...

Hope your a sound sleeper as the bells go off every hour and will drive you crazy. We stayed there but wish we had stayed on the trail and found a quiet camp site.

My jaw did the same thing. A good chiropractor can fix TMJ quickly and show you exercises to help keep the jaw aligned.

i Thought going north over Balpate East was a tough climb. Not being very tall I had some trouble getting up over some of the narrow ledges on the steep climb up. I really hate that feeling of...

I was in that area last week. I called and asked for the hiker rate. They quoted me $125. I went just up the road to the Kilington Motel and got a room with breakfast for about $85. Nice rooms and...

I would suggest that you always carry a shelter with you. Could save your life.

Does anyone know if Inchworm posted a trail journal? I believe I met her down south last year at a shelter and offered her a ride into town, but she told me her husband was meeting her at the trail...

I would think it would not be hard for the searchers to get the phone records for the motel that day and find out who made the call. Not up on all these new phones, but don't they have a GPS chip...

Sorry Gum I just noticed your reply. Was not meant as sarcasm. Just most hikers don't have that kind of money to spend the night. Thanks though for responding.

I have had to use their customer service twice and both times the part was mailed to my house at no charge. Great company.

Thanks Jeff. That is good news.

Residence Inn on Google shows $179 a night. I will also be in this area soon but not looking to buy the place, just spend a night. Checked Tigger's Treehouse but no drive-ins allowed. Any other...

Has anyone used Permethrin on their smartwool clothes? The stuff works great for ticks, but don't want to mess up an expensive piece of hiking gear.

You may want to try this. I heard that it works.

1. Remove any loose or flaking waterproofing from the item, a stiff brush is good for that.
2. Get a cheap (disposable) spray...

Do you know if they have a shuttle service?

The hat I was looking for is now available again at Neal's Gap. Thanks though for taking time to help.

Thanks Todd. Sending them an emaill today with pics.

Stayed on a Friday night and had their seafood & prime rib buffet. Great place.

Looked there but thanks anyways.
