I think you read it well. Well enough that you couldn't answer it.

I think you read it well. Well enough that you couldn't answer it.
Some would like it to be, but I honestly feel what I speak of is verifiable in Trail history and even today's current Trail. Sorry Jack, but one personality or one Trail view is too weak a straw to...
There could be something said for spreading Trail offices out instead of locating them in one town. Also, the Trail is named after the Appalachians and the heart of the Appalachians south of HF is...
I can see Trail people still see nothing wrong in attacking members who espouse the Trail's purpose. (roll eyes)
I wish I could become a 'tyrannical' Trail 'dictator' in charge of the total...
Have to agree that Harper's Ferry is the better location for all the reasons Jack gave. Plus, for whatever starving 'trickle' the AT gets from Washington, the Harper's location is physically and...
Some of the worst people for hiking trails are hikers themselves. A case in point are hikers who voice opinions like "does the AT have too much land already?" or "The Maine AT needs to do its part...
I used to maintain the New York Long Path in Rockland County. It was always a hiking trail and was built by hikers specifically for hiking. Mt Bike and ATV companies built a product and sold it with...
I doubt a few sprayings over the pants cuff and boots would do too much harm. It really does zap ticks instantly.
I did notice the dog developed some fatty lumps later in life. Maybe...
I'll never argue against honesty.
Good for you.
Frontline is tick cryptonite. Kills ticks guaranteed on contact and is a good protector. As the specs say above, I would avoid skin contact or absorption into mouth. But a few sprays of the pant leg...
I glossed over his post, mainly focusing on "his being in his fifties, daughter gone off, etc" and thought maybe he was new at this. I see now he isn't.
The developer said "I wish to work with those concerned about the AT" (or something similar).
Which is sort of like offering sensitivity counseling to those you are rounding up for...
My post is based on experience and seeing many entries from newbies who didn't understand the nature of the AT. In fact, I would contend it was a matter of bad judgment to basically flame such a post...
That north end is a very strenuous section. 2 weeks could be an underestimate of the actual time it could take you depending on your ability.
For impact and overuse purposes ATC asks groups to limit themselves to no more than 10.
Keep it.
I know a person who works in the outdoors equipment industry and he tosses around free samples like they were nothing. I got a pair of free top of the line Lekis and a new type of...
Those who avoid paying the Maine tax are shorting the state of the money they are anxiously expecting to protect the Trail in Maine from Plum Creek.
(Sarcasm included)
Southbound in October 1985 I spent about $2 total going through the Whites, and that's only because the caretaker happened through the Perch.
Today it seems to be a choice between the...
I always thought a suit made of no-seeum netting would be handy in bug areas. The mesh could be raised away from the body by lighweight spacers. Just wear shorts underneath to keep from being...
Good thing we have this great cutting edge, example to the world, government that leaves the Trail flapping out in the wind while projects like this beg for volunteers. This could literally be filled...
"Everything religious right wingers do is all right and approved by God".
Harriman Park in New York where I maintained the AT is predominately oak. This includes the blaze-bearing trees near the trailbed. In my maintaining I noticed an increase in oak mortality in trees...
They get 3 or more average insolation hours per year. Arizona gets over 5. Eastern Washington is rain shadowed by the Cascades, so it probably has better solar values. I looked up German insolation...
Perhaps a giant electric light sign on the pylons that said "ENRON" would help ward off wayward birds...
