Anyone been through Ash Gap and Roan High Knob shelter lately? On guthook both are stated to have seasonal water...curious if water is available at both currently? Is there tap water available at...
I would suggest downloading the guthook guide app for the GA through smokies section. Lots of real time updates/comments by current hikers that will help you. I just did the southern nantahalas...
Hey I have one of the marmot never summer bags. I'm 6' tall and I have the 6' tall version, not the large, and it fits me perfectly and very comfortable. For me @ 6' tall, I would not order the...
Don't let your lack of "experience" keep you from going. prior experience on day, weekend, or week long hikes is not a precursor to success for a thru hike. If you are personally interested in...
lol- indeed. problem is he was not muttering about carrot cake or any other type of rational things one might mutter about! He was a character to say the least. I was in awe that he carried a 20...
If it were me, I'd go with a "plan A" and "plan B" scenario...start off at gooch...see where you are by time you hit neels gap and if you need to adjust, make the phone call there for shuttle, etc. ...
Woods Hole was always one of my favorite places...Tillie's son Jerry Wood has been Mayor of the City of Roswell, GA for quite a few years and quite the character.

One of the most interesting characters was the man we dubbed "the psycho lone hiker." Met him on a section hike back around 1989...in the Nantahalas in December. He was hiking southbound from the...
very funny pyramid!! You forgot to add oatmeal to that diagram though!! :D
WOw. Absolutely incredible! Thanks so much for posting the link to the story. What an amazing testimony of human kindness and dedication.
Lilred- just notice your question. I don't know anyone named Bungalow Bill.
Happy anniversary Trail Yeti!
thanks all- definitely was a good time in life but hey, so is now! Still...every thru hiker knows the bank of memories you create on the walk last a lifetime.
Best of luck to him and I hope it all works out. You all that say it can't be done need to go get a copy of the most excellent book "worldwalker" by Steven Newman- we think hiking the A.T. is...
Hard to believe but yesterday was the 10th anniversary of starting @ springer for what turned out to be my 2nd thru-hike. Hard to believe it's been 10 years and amazing how much things and life cand...
Haleakala is truly an amazing place- one of the few places I've been where you can sit on the summit and look DOWN on the sunrise over the ocean- incredible.
Hana is a cool town. Lots of cool state...
i spent about 3 months traveling around hawaii back in the day- hithchiking, sleeping on the beaches, backcountry, etc. I usually used the Lonely Planet guidebooks and then picked up local hiking...
I'm not super active on these forums (i did thru-hike twice though!) but I think these ideas are great. Would love to be a part of something like the hike. I wonder if her family has considered...
just saw the news conference. Gary Michael Hilton led them to the body- inside the dawson forest wildlife management area- about 10 miles from whre the dog was first found. Not much other info was...
re: question of which news report showed the NC tag on his van when towed away by police...pretty sure it was on fox 5 news here in atlanta. www.myfoxatlanta.com
I am surprised that it has not been...

local news channel report last night showed that the van they found him cleaning no longer had it's original GA...
If anyone from the Emerson family or friends of her's reads this, I am so very sorry this has happened. It is terrible that such senseless acts of violence occur. May your hearts be comforted and...
been out all day and just read the news...very, very sad outcome.
it definitely is looking pretty bad as far as the outcome. Local news also said he has spent time recently living out of his van at murphy candler park- a sububan ball field park in an established...
