The mosquitos were crazy on the CT this year. I don't think that was normal, though, and YMMV next year. Personally, I don't like wearing a headnet, and mosquitos left my head alone anyway. They...
Yeah, I had loaner clothes every time except in Silverton, where I had to wear my rain pants. Is it really worth carrying shorts 500 miles to avoid having to wear rain pants to do laundry for an hour?
I would personally get rid of the convertible pants that you're packing, or wear them from the start and don't bring the hiking shorts. That's almost a pound of weight that you'll be carrying all the...
I ate about 2 pounds per day on the CT, and I lost a lot of weight. I was hiking 25+ miles per day though. I was eating as much as I could, but you can only eat so much. If the CT were longer I'm...
Thank you! Unfortunately, it is. I just couldn't justify the headaches and hassle of a physical printing, with the almost certainty that I would end up losing money on the endeavor. It looks like...
I would've been pretty far in front of you then. I hiked from July 12 to early August and I went by the name Zenny. I have dreadlocks halfway down my back so I was pretty hard to miss if anyone here...
Hey everyone! Just a quick note that I published a memoirs-style account of my 2014 Colorado Trail thru-hike.
Before I left on my trip I looked for books about thru-hiking the Colorado Trail and...
Yeah this was right where Apple's shelter was when I went through. I had such a good time sitting and talking with Apple that day. I didn't go up to the trailer, but I assumed it was Apple's!...
If you miss Apple, don't fret too much. There is a reliable spring not too far past where he's camped. It's next to the trail and has a fence all the way around it. Not too far past that (SOBO) is a...
handlebar, thanks for the recommendation! I don't know how I missed Lake City in my plans, but it seems to be a much better pit stop for my hike. I'll be planning that as my last stop now. Thanks...
My current plan is similar to the last link posted to urbyville. I'm trying to do the trail in 21 days, so I need to move pretty quickly. I don't want to waste a lot of time getting back and forth...
I live on 4th and Pearl, but my building was pretty much untouched. The last two nights at about 10PM there have been sirens along with a voice over a loudspeaker right outside my house saying,...
