I don't think they could sue the state. It would have to be the organizers of the trip. That is, unless state officials failed to distribute the usual "beware of bears" info to them.

Thanks very much! Both tags say "M". I never changed any of the components from the OEM.

Hi;
I have a Gregory Wind River pack that I want to sell on Ebay, but I'm not sure what size it is. I think it's the largest size, but is there any way to know for sure?
Like, if I measure the...
My sentiments as well. I love to climb rocks, where you need both hands and feet (never done anything technical, except in winter).
Going down is always a lot harder than going up; maybe because I...
Mountainman; You never told us about your plans, except where you are starting, and even that, I'm not sure whether you are talking about Bear Mountain park (which is part of Harriman park), or that...
FWIW: Here is Amtrak's list of prohibited items:
Prohibited Items
The following kinds of items are prohibited as both checked and carry-on baggage:
Any type of gun, firearm,...
I hear you!
But you know how our law enforcement reacts. They get tough for a few weeks after the incident, then relax a bit.
Remember the color coded alert system? Was that a joke, or what?
I...
I don't think that is my problem. I hiked 10mi yesterday, wearing the same boots, with different (lower) socks and didn't have the problem.
Unless you're thinking that the chafing is being caused...
I can't seem to make up my mind about my position on carrying combustibles on public transport.
I wouldn't do it, but often I will advise others not to, but other times I agree with those who don't...
To get to Harriman (at the west end of the park), you will need to take 2 more trains from NYC after you get off Amtrak at Penn Station.
Take the NJT corridor train to Secaucus junction, then take...
Thanks for the suggestion. I had been using sock liners, but gave them up because I thought they might cause blisters. I'll try going back to using them and see what happens.

And then there are the "walkie talkie" phones. You hear not only the one side, but both sides of the conversation. And you hear those annoying little beeps.
I used to work at a place where several...
Hi;
In a previous thread I started, I was asking about having the soles on my old Asolo Gore-tex boots.
I was at the time thinking I would be taking some longer hikes with a heavier pack.
But...
Hi;
I have several pr of a long (calf height) socks I originally bought for skiing. I had been experiencing itching and a slight rash around my lower leg/ankle after having worn these socks while...
ATC posted the notices on the trail, but apparently, the closing was too late for the 2010 edition of the Data Book.
I believe Arden is actually part of Southfields anyway.
It reminds me of the...
Dogwood; you have offered some very good advice. I appreciate it.

Well, actually I'm living with my parents, and for the time being am not paying for my meals, or rent.
Instead, I do stuff around the house; wiring, plumbing, digging a garden for my mom, and...
I have one trekking pole. It's a good one; Lekki, with the shock absorber and twist lock.
I almost bought a new pair when I saw them locally for $40 /set. I paid $40 for just the one, so it's a good...
New York / New Jersey area.
Arden, NY, PO 10910 is PERMANENTLY CLOSED. All mail is being forwarded to Southfields, NY, PO 10975.
Notice of this is posted on trail both sides of SR 17, Arden...
You guys have given me some good advice, and encouragement, if not a reality check:)
I have been "double minded"; no doubt about that. I often find myself coming to forums like this one and reading,...
I'm sorry. I misread your post. I thought you were talking about the AT.
My bad.

I'm sorry for jumping down your throat.
As for starting in Feb; I really enjoy winter hiking. It's the cold that inspires me to keep moving, and also the fact that I don't have to be thinking about...
So, the first AT thru-hike was in 1970? I would think that others would have done it much earlier than this, considering the trail has existed since 1923!
Or, is is just that no one made a point...
What does that have to do with my question?
Sorry Lone Wolf. You're right. There's no law against using a cell phone, except in a few places (Baxter SP is one where they prohibit the use except for emergencies), and even there I think it's...
