It's devastating when you have to leave the trail, chiefduffy, but somehow, someway, you keep carrying on, and when you have the chance, you continue...

Very true...It was hard to ignore before I went, but now that I've been there not a day goes by that I don't want to go back. It was truly a life-changing experience, even though I only hiked a few...

Funny you should ask...Reading Bill Bryson's book was the catalyst that got me thinking about hiking the A.T. As a Canadian, I'd never even heard of the Appalachian Trail before reading A Walk in the...

There was a method to my madness for revealing so early that I didn't finish the trail...I didn't want to misrepresent myself saying I hiked the entire thing, have readers buy it thinking they were...

Well, you can't please everyone. I guess that's why they have the sampling on Smashwords - so you can check it out before you buy, and if it doesn't suit your fancy you're not out any money.

Thanks for buying! If you find any glaring errors or typos please let me know so I can fix them. If you have time, I'm trying to entice people to review it for me on Amazon, so if there's any chance...

theinfamousj: I hope you like it if you decide to buy! I'm not sure how well the formatting translated onto all the different formats (as I only have a Kindle), but if you buy it and find it's really...

Hi everyone!

Last year I hiked the southern section of the Appalachian Trail. When I got home, I couldn't get the AT out of my mind, so I decided to write a book about it. The result, an ebook...

I tried getting it - it's not available in Canada. :(

Well, ladies...i started a thruhike in April of this year, and I am back home because of my period. My brand of birth control was discontinued just before I left and my doctor was on holidays so his...

Okay, the TS3...First off, it's totally AWESOME!

The picture quality is excellent, the video is excellent and it has really clear sound which is an improvement over my last camera. It has a TON...

Well, I just bought the Panasonic Lumix TS3...everyone I've talked to has said good things about the TS1 and TS2, and the only one in the line they had at the store was the TS3 so I thought what the...

Note to self...take safety pins to hold up my pants...lol...:p

I want to add my support to your hike, Wings. I've found this group on WB to be very supportive and a great bunch for advice.

As a plus sized woman, I also feel your pain and had one heck of a...

Sorry, the Lumix TS10...lol...getting my cameras mixed up I've looked at so many today...:p

Has anyone tried the Lumix D10?

I'm a 28 yo female thru hiker in planning, and I am starting hopefully April 14th. My plan is to go as far as I can each day, but not overdo it till I'm more in hiker form (which may take a while!),...

Thanks for all your replies. You are a wonderful bunch, and so helpful! I think I will email HH and make sure there will be a WalMart run...I can get everything I need there. :) Thanks for all your...

Hi everyone!

I am arriving from Canada at the Atlanta Airport on April 13th (if all goes as planned), and I am taking the MARTA to Gainesville, and the plan is to go on to the Hiker Hostel from...
