Thanks, all. Got lucky and got a site at Cataloochee Oct 23/24. We will day hike out from there. Looking forward to it.
but would settle for frontcountry. We are likely to be four adult males and two kids.
Am I naive to think we can reserve something in the park for late Sept-Oct timeframe? We'd like to camp next to running water or a lake and do day hikes from there. Would be fine inside the park or...
About an hour left. Pretty good.
We are planning to car camp at Dockery but also want to hike up to Blood Mtn shelter and we are not up for 8.5 miles uphill in one trek - which is the distance from Dockery. We might get up after...
10k we hiked from Cosby campground up to HS from Monday to Thursday and then stayed in HS until this morning. Would have been nice to run into you. Had a great hike. Lost two of our group at Max...
We are in Bham and somehow dodged them. But 25 miles on either side of us is utter devastation. I feel a little guilty leaving tomorrow to hike. I've never seen anything like this in my life.
Thanks for all the well wishes. To top it off, we have a cabin waiting in HS for two nights. The day after we get into town, we'll get into a little white water. Followed by a little brown water....
Sunday I am leaving for Cosby Campground and we'll be climbing Low Gap Trail by about 6:30 Monday morning, Lord willing. Due to my daughter's volleyball tournament in Atlanta this weekend, I am...
"Whose lives are the AT" Over twenty five thousand posts on a single board dedicated to the AT may be par on the same course. Whose to say?
I did have the thought that it is probably the timing that has me sensitive about it. I've run 11 marathons and am the king of phantom pain during every taper. Although I actually injured this calf...
My way of thinking is less hair is easier to deal with out in the woods. As such, I'll be requesting the #3 blade a day before I hit the trail. My girls at home won't be happy but, hey, it grows out....
Leaving in six days for our little week on the trail and pulled up lame in a run tonight. Nothing popped but it seems a little more severe than your average cramp. Not that it matters at this...
No offense but anybody who has convinced themselves that sitting at a computer pressing buttons is an athletic activity has stared at one too many LED screens. Now cross-stitch? There's some real...
meh. It was ok.
It's a 50k in Huntsville, Al in Jan. I've done a bunch of marathons but virtually no trail running. I'm looking forward to it. Because of the date, the weather is usually pretty challenging. ...
The following is a text conversation my brother and I just had showing off how prepared we are for the trip. Had it been an actual conversation, you would have been informed where to go for safety...
I would imagine the worst part of the trail for snakes is the middle where it is easier to get stepped on.
Don't ever, ever spend another dime on any kind of "short cut", sassafrass, extra-virgin mosquito repellant. Ever. This includes electric zappers, funky lights, candles, oils, sound emitters, propane...
Some convertible pants have a built in belt thingie. Some don't but still have belt loops. Stop arguing about such inane topics like LNT and how fast a lady hikes. Inquiring minds want to know. ...
I hover above the trail, never leaving so much as a footprint in the detritus.
For me it's strong, black coffee in the morning - 2 bags steeped for a good long time. In the evening, Woodford Reserve. Maybe a spot o' tea or cider just before hitting the bag. Though if I could...
Coffee, hot chocolate or tea? You've only got so much room in your pack so when it comes to libations what's your druthers?
We need to arrange a shuttle from Hot Springs south to Cosby Campground. Who should I call for most reliable, cheapest shuttle?
Thanks!
