    Stayed there this past June - A#1 all around! Nice hiker discount, great bar/beer, and a really good breakfast. Had a blast there and very hiker-friendly. Highly recommend it. Enjoy.

    I used to talk up the fries at Port Clinton circa 2000 but for my money, Pat, at the Doyle, makes the best fries on the Trail. Just my .02.

    About 6 years ago I witnessed a great display at the south end of Flagstaff Lake (after you come off of Little Bigelow to a short gravel road walk-NOBO). It had all the elements, kind of shooting...

    I have nothing but good to say about the Cresta Hiker boot from Bean's. They are a sweet boot. As stated above, little to no break in (you will probably have a bit of a hotspot, mine is around the...
