The only way to enjoy your hike is to hike your own hike and the only way to hike your own hike is to hike solo, to the extent that is possible. There is just to much potential for drama in groups.

Can't help you with the hammock part of your question but my wife and I did practically all of our section hikes during that time of the year and thoroughly enjoyed it. We did have 0 degree bags...

Outstanding photos Rain Man. Brought back plenty of memories of that area. I would love to do it again. One thing though, did you really have to include the picture of the guy with that hideous...

Couldn't agree more. The idea that long distance hikers and now in my case, long distance cyclists, are entitled to discounts and special perks is pathetic. If someone wishes to lower their price for...

I'm an REI member who just got his annual dividend and have bought tons of stuff from Campmor but when we got started backpacking over 35 years ago we picked up our gear at the Backpacker in...

I have heard that Cimmaron, a 90 y.o. hiker, is back on the trail. Has anyone run into him.

Don't forget those D*** wet bog bridges in Maine.

The same thing has happened on the Foothills Trail between Bearcamp Creek and Horsepasture River. This section is in NC. If they can catch them in SC and get a conviction the perps will lose their...

I descended the north slope of Mt. Moosilauki after a rain. Never again.

Outstanding video. It brought back lots of memories though not in the same order as the video. Also loved your music selection.

I am planning to take my two oldest grandsons, 9 and 11, on a backpacking trip from Newfound Gap to Davenport Gap next June. Though they have been camping and dayhiking with me for several years,...

She's a grown woman. Turn loose.

Outstanding!!!

As a section hiker it took me ten years to complete my hike. In all those ten years we only experienced two or three times when our radars went off and since I'm writing this obviously nothing...

Madame and I hiked the Foot Hills Trail from Table Rock to Upper Whitewater in 1982 with our four children, ages 5 to 15. It was a great trip with great memories though I sometimes wonder why the...

Amen!!!!!!

[QUOTE=Rain Man;1329220]Well, I've surely been put in my place. Just returned yesterday from almost two weeks of hiking the AT in New Hampshire, including staying as a paying guest in Galehead Hut...

Good!!!!!!

Best spring in the Sate of Virginia.

Stayed there last July and it was fine.

When hiking in Maine, if the creeks don't get you, the bog bridges will. Be vewwy vewwy careful.

Wasn't last year.

Just one more thing, hikers thinking they can hurt his business are clearly delusional. The man makes a living serving locals who based on the number of years he has been open must enjoy his...

This may not be well received but when my wife and I were there a couple of years ago Joe already had the reputation but served us some of the best breakfast sandwichs we had ever eaten. He was...

I finished VT, NH and Maine last year and the same was true with a good number of thru hikers smoking and just like you said, they would get to a shelter or rest spot and light up. Being old and...
