No way. I'm about 6' and there's not a lot of extra room. The guy who lost his pricey tent decided to try mine out. He's 6'2 or 6'3. Said the Spitfire was no worse fit than the one that was trashed....

No way. I'm about 6' and there's not a lot of extra room. The guy who lost his pricey tent decided to try mine out. He's 6'2 or 6'3. Said the Spitfire was no worse fit than the one that was trashed....
I've owned the Spitfire since 2005, the year I finally I finished the AT. One afternoon in the 100 Mile we had a real gully washer. Lasted almost 2 hours. My three friends with me were in two other...
Having just finished Maine, I now place NH in third and put Maine and Tenn/NC in a tie for first. The vastness of the views from the summits of Maine's mountains is unlike any other state on the AT...
Agree with Frosty and I would add two more points. For extra insurance, make a simple camo shroud to cover the motor cycle but also place a some indiscrete marker (I use three small rocks on top of...
Considering the rising cost of car shuttles, the fact that motorized bicylces are not recognized as legal motor vehicles in many states and assuming the bike is light enough and small enough to be...
I am still in shock sort of. I had no warning that Appalachian Trailways News would be replace by "Journeys," a much different publication. Did anyone? It arrived today. Inside the front cover...
It's ok but manage your expectations. I tried it for the first time last summer between East B Hill Rd in Maine and Rt 2 in NH. I rode a mtn bike with slicks. Overall, it was better than the...
Tough call. Every state has some great trail, even PA west of the 501 Shelter. My two finalists are NH and TN/NC. The Whites are hard to beat but TN/NC has both GSMNP and the balds, especially the...
I am planning a loop hike starting from the Carlo Col trailhead at Success Pond Rd via the AT to Grafton Notch and return via a different route. I see a possible return route via a trail that starts...
Hiking south from Rt 2 near Gorham, NH, I met Hammock Hanger at the Imp Shelter on evening of August 12th. She was waiting for LWOP, Bearbag Hanger and a third thru hiker to catch up. Along with...
"Commercial"? I don't think so. Having listened to a talk Warren gave at Trail Days, I don't think the man has a commercial bone in his body.
I didn't find any suitable campsite between the Beaver Brook Shelter and several miles north of the Notch except one in the Notch itself. Just look for the No Camping sign about 0.2 mile south of NH...
I ordered a size Large union suit from Mtn Equipment Coop $CAN 65.00. It's well made and has a great design - a zipper with 3 pulls runs from the neck down to the crotch and up the other side to...
Maybe I did. Your comment implies you know of better prices. What can you suggest? I checked all the NH shuttles listed on the ATC site. Only Jolin and one other were interested and Jolin's quote was...
Thanks. I was kidding about the Union Suit but now I'm thinking that it makes the most sense for winter day hikes or camping. In weather cold enought to wear mid-weight polys, I can't recall ever...
I'm in the market for a new set of polys. My current set of poly longs doesn't cover the small of my back very well. I can't seem to find one manufacturer that even claims to offer a top with an...
OK, I'll answer my own inquiry. I used Art Jolin sight unseen. It turns out that he is friendly, reliable and prompt. Pricewise, he's competitive for the area but not inexpensive. He transports his...
He operates a shuttle service based in Gorham, NH, that I may use for transportation between Crawford Notch and Glencliff. I would be interested in feedback from anyone who has used his service.
There's been no change in the Trail past the shelter as of last week.
One interesting feature of the Stony Brook shelter is a rear deck covered by the roof overhang. This space serves as the kitchen area. The design accomodates more hikers, it is more comfortable than...
