Happy belated Anniversary to Whiteblaze!
Hard to believe it started 20 years ago last month.
At the time that other personality-driven site (now defunct) was just about the only on-line option,...
Headnet for mosquitos after you have been on the trail a good while — no need to start with it.
These from day one, since they are so light. I have used them with VERY good results for both...
I am only a sample of one, but my experience with the Apple Store has been good. Mostly asking “dumb” questions to one of the sales people, or making an appointment with the Genius Bar to clean lint...

A bit disappointed not to see any rattlesnake pictures, but otherwise another great...
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
As one who once eagerly awaited the Appalachia accident reports, I think yours would have certainly stood out as a great reminder how “stuff happens”, and to...
Credit card or loan.
Unlike the purchase of a car (for which society says debt is totally acceptable even though I would disagree) finishing a thru hike with a potential life partner is not a...
I remember the neighbors heading down on their motorcycles after hearing the Thruway was closed.
As a man born in 1960, I don’t think we thank many of those young people nearly enough.
I would suggest that there is a difference between not caring about how any individual hiker transits the AT, and observing how evolving group norms are changing the character of the trail.

One hiker and mother of thru hiker(s) spent millions of her own money to forever preserve land up in Maine, but was reviled by many local sportsman/hunters for doing so.

[QUOTE=Durwood;2287283]Alligator, this will probably go into a slack vs purist debate./QUOTE]
