Why be a butt? She was honest, open and sincere and asked questions relevant to her, but you contributed nothing but a negative comment. Someone who admits to being overweight and wanting to do...

I had the copper spur ul2 and it was plenty tough with the rainfly. Unfortunately, it was a bit cramped for my 14 year old son and I. We have since switched to the Flycreek ul3 and it is perfect....

How has this not been commented on? I agree the thread as a whole is the best in a long time, but the quote above is simply a work of art. Not even sure if it was meant to have so many innuendos,...

On the way up Clingman's from Double Springs Shelter this past summer my14 yo son had a really close call. We were cruising along up the Spine about a mile short of Clingman's when he saw what looked...

I was scheduled for Cosby Knob on June 28th. I am starting to think about changing the entire agenda but all shelters are at capacity it seems.

The ranger indicated to me that he was calling everyone that had reservations and telling them what there new site was. I tried to change mine up and change my days and mileage to another shelter and...

Thanks. I pulled the map and it is off of Snake Den Ridge and then down Maddron Bald Trail. Looks like it may be about 2.5 miles one way.

GSMNP Ranger called me the morning to tell me they changed my reservation from Cosby Knob to site 29 because they just closed that shelter. No word on how long, but he said the bear activity was...

Good Luck -Animal. Slow and steady until your body says it's ready.

My son and I did Unico Gap to Winding Stair Gap last July and literally only saw 1 person. Very surreal in comparison to all of our other hikes where we typicaly saw atleast 5 a day in Summer months.

Good luck on your start tomorrow.

I'm heading under the laser in 4.5 hours. Starting to get anxious and thinking they may need to give me some decent sedatives to keep me from becoming a cyclops or a permanent Blackbeard...

I am having it done at Duke University Eye Center. Believe it or not, I am actually having it tomorrow. They initially said a few weeks but they had two people call to cancel and back out before I...

Holy crap that is a fast turn around. Didn't you just have the consult today? I have my consult tomorrow and if they offer me surgery on Friday I'll freak. They told me it could be several weeks or...

I'll let Curtis confirm or deny this info at his discretion, but I can say he knows more about the comings and goings at SB Hostel than anyone else on here. Looking forward to hitting SB again this...

Agreed. I'm thinking Curtis has a better handle on his visitors than moldy or anyone else....but I could be wrong, you never know, he could of been hibernating or hanging with LW for the past couple...

Hey Curtis- I am guessing the 3-4 a day surprised you. I thought it was bit high for this time of year...

Really? Sounds like Bigfoot may actually be LW. No wonder LW has doesn't worry about bearbagging and it really is "just walking"...what else does a Sasquatch do? keep smiling LW.

i am going for my consult on Wednesday of this week. I have done a lot of research and had two siblings that have had it done and it seems that the recovery is quite quick if you are getting the all...

I agree with Springer in the Fall. Great colors and slightly few people.

Now about that map. Outstanding! Share the details please. I want to start using something like that. Way better than my...

I used the Copper Spur for about 40 nights on the trail this past Summer with my 13 year old son and we were cozy, but had plenty of room. With packs and shoes outside in the vestibules there was...

Take your son or daughter with you as soon as they are physically ready. Step 2: Savor Every minute with them and let them teach you what it is really about.

I used a method like this for a few 5-7 day trips. I would repackage the contents of the bag into a good ziplock bag and roll it up into a smaller form factor than the original bag. Doing this for 7...

I agree that she shouldn't have a problem. My wife dropped me there last Spring and it was not too bad. A bit narrow in several locations and some pretty decent size ruts and rocks, but we went up in...

Thanks for the info. Is there a "best place to park"? I guess i can simply ask the folks inside, but since I have this thread going, this is easier :-)
