    Hi C Seeker,
    My friend and I are hiking SOBO and plan to be near Front Royal possibly this weekend or Monday. Are you still making your yard available?

    Thank you!

    Hey there, HikerMom,
    My friend and I are also SOBO, holed up with friends near DC for the storm, but heading back to the trail at Harpers Ferry when we know what the situation is like. Any chance...

    Make insoles into flipflops?

    Can anybody help me find the instructions for how this is done? I remember reading once that there had been such a thread/discussion, but I haven't found it yet in my search attempts.

    Thank you!

    In less than three weeks I'll be out there behind you. I'll look for your register entries. Nervous excitement is the perfect description for how I feel, too.

    I'm a side sleeper, 220lbs and just got me a NeoAir All Season. It's a tad narrow for those times I do end up on my back, but my hip has never touched the ground yet. I love mine!

    I hiked in a skirt for the first time this weekend, over my shorts. It did well as a windbreaker and was particularly awesome for when I used the pstyle. Just turned my back to the most likely spot a...
