Just HAD to check in and see how he's doing. Easy enough since I fell asleep with my phone on my pillow.

Whoops, double post when I was trying to reply to lijn. Don't know how to edit! Amateurs geez

Hadn't heard that expression before. Awesome!

Hope he makes it. Looking good now, but it ain't over until the fat lady sings, or, as we say here, don't sell the hide before the bear is shot.

I wonder what kind of physical condition Scott will be in after a few days (weeks?) of rest. I would guess that most "traditional" thruhikers are in pretty good shape when they're finished as long...

Hey folks, loving this thread. Been following SJ's attempt since day 1. Got to see him here in VT day 34. I didn't truly wrap my brain around the miles he is doing in a day until I saw how fast he...

I live in the area and have heard only positive reports from summer 2011. The road to the shelter has been completely washed away by Irene so it's impossible to drive to it. Still accessible on...

As you can see, discussion of removing Cooper has been going on for years but its still there. It is my understanding the Green Mountain Club does intend to have it removed, but no date has been...

Nothing really original to add, but here are my favs:
2010- on the Long Trail headed south from App Gap, I had been leapfrogging all day with a group of dayhikers. I'd pass them, then stop, they'd...

I'm with Cookerhiker on this. Lincoln Gap to Jonesville would be awesome. You could also go from Middlebury Gap north to Montclair Glen Lodge (just before Camel's Hump). Drop your stuff at the...

my non-hiker husband agreed to hike just to get higher up to catch a breeze (Mt. Cardigan, NH was only 76 degrees on the summit at 11 am)

Definitely more risky with out of state plates, even in the daytime at some places such as rt 103 (near swinging bridge/clarendon gorge). Not sure of any particular problems this year.

Not sure if this was mentioned yet.... another thing that can complicate the issue is that when you squat to pee, sometimes you don't empty your bladder completely because of the angle. Leaving a...

The water was high near Rt 15 when I did that section in 2008 too. There were notes in neighboring shelters of how to ford the floodplain but NO THANKS! The roadwalk detour isn't too bad. At least...

A "bear box" was put in at Seth Warner a few weeks ago. Haven't heard anything since!

See you at the Festival! I will be helping my husband who is running the two music stages Saturday.

p.s. Inn at LT nachos...DELICIOUS

I like both--hiking alone and with a partner or group. I have done many overnights and several 3-day trips alone along the AT/LT. I cut a 2-week solo trip short, part of the reason was because I...

I stayed there Friday night and yes, the woodpecker is still there! At about 6 am, BANG BANG BANG BANG. If I hadn't already read the log and known to expect him, it would have scared the crap out...

I hang my food in Vermont but I do have a bear phobia, as well as hypoglycemia, so I am up s-creek without a paddle if anything eats my food. I haven't ever had any animals in my food other than a...

Yes, you can see it from Spruce Ledge shelter. Other members of our group said it was the asbestos mine but I declared it a UFO. Believe what you want!

What a horrible tragedy. It happens, we forget.... last year I was just cooling my feet in Clarendon Gorge in Vermont (below the swinging bridge, near the Whistle Stop, how can you forget)? Not...

AWESOME! Welcome to the Long Trail Community! Can't wait to visit the store.

I am thinking of doing an ALMOST end-to-end from the end of June through the first two weeks of July...I have already done the whole LT in sections but I want to do most of it again! I have a window...

I am considering doing a long section of the LT in July as well. For gear, depending on this summer's forecast I recommend extra water container(s). Summer of 2007 was very dry and water was scarce....

And marshmallow peeps.
