That is awesome! How deep are the monuments buried that your dog can find? Your pooch is going to be in high demand with this skill!

One of my roomates is planning on starting a nobo thru just after the warmer. Anyone coming up from the vicinity of Springer or other points south who would be willing to give him a ride from...
On the ride front- I believe Stonewall is taking me a to the Ruck, but can anyone going past or to Philly take me home? I am hoping to bring my dog so I'd especially appreciate it if you have room...
And one more thing -- are there still plans afoot to do work on the Doyle instead of or in addition to helping out at Ironmasters on Saturday?

I'll be back to the Doyle for the warmer. I enjoyed a few pints there this past weekend with some '06ers and can hardly wait to go back.
I have lots of pics of the new shelter at Kinsman Pond and I'd love to share them- but I have never posted to the gallery before and seem to be having trouble doing so. After following the...
its gorgeous
..are heavenly. I think that if I were to cut up the cherry pie flavored lara bars into squares it would count as finger food, and be delectable. they re after all the only hiker food i bulk order...
WOW! Have an awesome time in the Alps, Stonewall! And you will definitely be in great shape for your sobo.

pack size sounds great to me. Could go smaller- but then wouldn't be able to carry the bagels.

yeah, I've got springer fever, and i wasn't even on trail yet a year ago. I've got spring fever too, and can't excape the knowledge that all of the expenses I accrue in city living wouldn't happen on...
yeah- like she said - that's a lot of water capacity. A single gatorade bottle and a 2L platypus is what I used. It was great to have 3L capacity for camp, but except for a few dry spots in PA and...
I love this game. But, I applaud you hiking mega- that's the way to go.
First, what is a thermolite 3 sleeping pad?
And then my suggestions:
Your pack will be plenty big for a through-hike. You...
A 40 degree bag should see you through most of the hike. I started with my old 600 fill 20 degreee rated Mountain Hardware bag, but bought a Western Mountaineering Highlite 35 degree bag as soon as I...
critiquing gear, such a fun game: Seems like your present list will have you shipping stuff home along the trail. That'll be fun and you'll notice the decrease in pack weight immediately. You could...
back to the initial proposal... ***..
What trails will your route be like through Mexico and on south?
Everyone has their own opinion on the huts system. You can form yours when you get there, but i would plan on staying in the $8/night campsites. I did end up staying at Lake of the Clouds hut, on a...
Marta are you still on trail?? Wow and Beater is?!?! Amazing. I hiked into Monson with him last July. Seems like i finished my '06 SoBo a few months early.

durn it. I thought of you last Saturday night, but didn't think to check whiteblaze for the details. Glad to see that you had an awesome time, Wonder. Have a great time on the trail. I'll throw back...
I'll be there too. So long as Stonewall comes through on the ride he offered me at the PA Ruck.

Its Laces, checking in to say that yes indeed Pi and I finished up on the 12th. All of our dillydallying finally ended on the night of the 7th at Standing Indian shelter. It was really really cold...
I've been wanting to get on the trail ever since I decided to do a thru this year last summer. But with my final start date set- getting money enough has been my problem- I am flying out of Philly on...
Thanks, I am wielding scissors as I write this.
I have a regular-sized ridgerest that I would like to cut down or replace with a shorter z-lite (I am under the illusion that z-lites are more comfortable than ridgerests- feel free to contradict...
large loud groups of adults- they seem to be louder than kids even. Such groups can be extremely difficult to pass on a narrowish trai, even at rest as they tend to plunk their packs down right where...
