Glasgow RiverFest 2011 has asked me to post this announcement and URL for the upcoming event:

Hikers are welcome and can use the hikers' shelter, or other nearby...

Buying dehydrated food is very pricey. I dry all my own. Our dehydrator gets quite the workout--fruit and vegs in the summer, jerky in the fall and winter. It has been well worth the investment. ...

Thank you, HH.

Glasgow, VA is hosting its annual River Fest June-5 through 12, 2010. There will be vendors, river events, rides, games, Miss VA., a carnival and blue grass band. One of the sponsors asked me to...

I hope you all know that the town of Glasgow built a shelter for thru-hikers. It is on a piece of town property to the right behind the old motel. Many on WB said it was unnecessary, but it is used...

Thanks for the update.

Any hike that includes Cole Mt. Fields. This is tied with across the top of Apple Orchard.

There is an Asian pear orchard nearby and I ought to ask them about the texture of their dehydrated pears. The owner told me they have a handful of customers who ask for them that way. I would...

The Cranberry Wilderness and Cranberry Backcountry in the Monongahela National Forest, WV. TERRIFIC place!

Frau

We are, too--the North-South Trail in the Cranberry.

Frau and Nessmuk.

Big Cranky--What variety of fig do you have? Mine don't ripen until the end of Sept./beg. Oct. I know our season is behind yours, but harvesting earlier would be better for me because I go back to...

I get chips from Honey Crisp Apples. Their texture is perfect for dehydration. I do make fairly thin slices. They taste like sugar wafers, and I prefer them dehydrated to fresh. They won't be ready...

I like my old Hi-Tecs, but the inner liner round the heal wore thru. I LOVE my Merrell Moab Ventilators, Low Top. I have two pair off Vasque Gore-tex boots. They will do because I don't put in too...

Nessmuk asks if any of you have had experience with Panasonic's Toughbook? He is looking for a rugged computer that can take the rigors of Search and Rescue situations, especially rain and dropping....

I told Nessmuk he needs to read these posts, and answer himself. He will check them this evening.

Nessmuk is looking for a small laptop to use for nothing but mapping programs, like the Nat. Geo., Del Lorme, etc. He has asked me to investigate for him and come up with a few computers to...

I was in the Gro. Express in Glasgow yesterday and noticed florescent green cards bearing Rusty's Hardtime Hollow, info. Since I had recalled reading about the establishment closing (and OTHER...

j.g., you are right and all responses are being forwarded.

My understanding is that they are building the hostel, regardless of need. The decision was not based on need. the town has decided to capitalize AND build on it's wonderful location as a...

Useful thoughts. Any ideas like that posted here will be passed on. I imagine they haven't considered rowdy hikers at all.

Right now they have the best intentions, but there are only a very few...

I posted several months ago that the Glasgow Town Council voted to allow camping on town property, and that plans for a Hikers' Shelter were underway.

The town now has a nice donation of over $2k...

Chiggers get on your clothing or skin and crawl in to their favorite tender spots. Isn't netting for flying things?

Yes, the BIG gnats bite. They fly high though, not around the ankles. Permethrin usually works, but last week I had on permethrin treated gaiters and had a tick on my shin underneath, when I took...

To all the helpers who carried the sick hiker off of the Belfast Trail last evening.

Nessmuk and I are the only hikers on our squad, so when the call went out for "chest pain, 35 y.o. male, i mile...
