I think your point is well taken in July, but the FST is pretty sweet in January!
The NG has been deployed to Santa Teresa, NM. I wonder if they will be patrolling around Crazy Cook? Santa Teresa is near El Paso.

Whether or not it is a requirement, I think it is wise. I have seen enough bear activity and bears themselves in ONF that I wouldn't feel cozy without hanging my food. BTW, I wonder if the Rainbows...
SEE FOR YOURSELF. These are visible from space. In Google Earth zoom into 29.312234 x -81.756212 in the ONF. There are millions of these things, but seem to be totally harmless. I would not drive...
But... but... there is never any type of tunnel near them. It is like someone just poured a gallon of sand on the ground and left it. There is no entrance nor any sign of digging at all. They look...
What in the world are those little sand mounds that are everywhere on the trail in ONF? They look like fire ant mounds, but, thankfully, are not. As a matter of fact, if you level one with your foot...
BTW I should add that the 2 weeks in ONF was amazing and paradise compared to the deep freeze up here. It is a great place to hang in January. We have chiggers and ticks in Ohio too.
I am back in cold Ohio after 2 weeks in Ocala National Forest. I brought some Florida souvenirs. I still am scratching my chigger bites. Deet didnt stop them but I did not see a single tick. I am the...
I can provide shuttles around ONF January 8 thru Jan 20. Will be looking for something to do. Want to get out of the deep freeze here in Ohio so will hang out in Ocala. ANGEL APPLE
Thanks John. APPLE (Ben Nevis, 1994)
Do most folks manage to stop in Pie Town these days or take another route? I know there are other options. THANKS Angel Apple
We drove up to the yurt in section 22 last year from Lake City. We took an old 4x4 Tahoe and made the trip with no problem, although it was rough in places. I would not take a nice car up there....
Please contact me at [email protected]. Switch the "manzana" and the "guillermo". It's my name in Spanish sort of...
Yup yup. Confirm.
It takes about an hour to get to 114 from Gunnison. 114 is the 17/18 junction but camp is near the 18/19 junction. So I do not check for hikers on 114 unless I know you are there. There is a huge...
The yurt is at 37 54.874N X 107 17.265W. The cabin (maintained by the forest service) is at 38 23.806N X 106 14.830W.
Lots of hikers believe that unlike the AT, the CT has no shelters. No so. I know of 3 free shelters right on the trail. There is the official lean-to, the yurt which is 1 day west past Spring Creek...
I don't mind if it stays on your lap. I like dogs. Chihuahuas are especially tasty. :D
We leave camp around 5 pm and leave Gunny after breakfast around 7 am. We can work around your schedule, though. If you prefer to get picked up at 17/18 let me know ahead of time. That way you can...
We stay in Gunny every night so we will bring you back in the morning.
I will be making daily trips to Gunnison from the 114 trailhead this July. We will be angelling at the 18/19 junction. We take everybody for free. Let me know if you will be in the area. APPLE
Which state forest? That happened to me too and it was kind of nasty. It wasn't the vets, just a "pruning hunt".
Upon reading your first post, I assumed you were not really serious. But I see now you know what you are doing and I am really amazed. For the sake of the other viewers. he is going to do the 99 mile...
That is a cool idea. So, does your board have a cargo holder? Ain't a drop of fresh water back there. I assume you will stop at the chickees. I have made the trip several times via canoe and you do...
Your picture is what I used to dream about at 7 mile camp. :) BTW, I used to hike BC in the winter;the best time. Some of the trails were white sugar sand under about 2 inches of cold water....
