Where did you get this info?

There is nothing on the SNP twitter feed, web site, or facebook page about this. Their web site has trail closures listed under "hiker alerts" so I don't think...

Fontana to the Rockies? Man, those dudes are FAST!!! :D

I met several hikers on my relay hike in late March, early April.

Does anyone have any updates on any of the following-

NT Squared

Gumby
Guiness
Cookie

I gotta admit, this one made me laugh out loud! :D

Fortis,

I believe you met my colleague Thom. He was on a relay hike for a fundraiser and gave you a ankle brace. He mentioned you in our journal and was impressed that you did not give up so...

I had a very good experience dealing with Ron Haven this past month on my relay hike that I ended in Franklin. He seemed like a very good man, and I disagree with the OP. I will deal with Ron again...

My favorite quote of the book-

"It is disturbing how tenuous our potential is due to our fervent defense of the comfortable norm."

You may find our journal interesting. We are doing a relay hike of the AT as a fundraiser, so you will get many different voices.

I always bring my spontaneity, but it keeps getting packed underneath my procrastination. I'll find it later.

I am a relay hiker, see here- http://www.homesforourtroops.org/goto/americanhero.hikers

Simplicity- We spend a lot of time whining about this and that at home. Ten days on the trail and I'm high-fiving people because I got a free pair of socks. Life doesn't have to be complicated to be...

Four Thousand Footers in ONE Backpack?

When I glanced at the title my first thought was, Man that's got to be one big pack! There won't be room for your sleeping bag.

Cimarron was at Carter Gap Shelter on Wednesday night March 30. He was, I was told, averagin about 8 miles a day. I met him there and he seemed quite determined.

Alcohol based hand sanitizer can be used in a pinch. Squeeze some on your target and light away. Two uses for one product.

I understand that some dont see the need for trail names. I understand your perspective as explained here and it is certainly NOT threatening to me. There is nothing wrong with using or not using a...

I'm not real fond of the dancing banana.

I sent you a PM regarding your hike.

I am taking Amtrak from Toledo, OH to Wash. DC and DC to Gainesville, GA. An old college friend is picking me up from Gainesville to Springer. I will be hiking a 107 mile section to Franklin. My wife...

I have purchased and used these socks before. I think they are fine and the price is very good. I recently did two six mile daily trail hikes, wearing the omni-wool socks one day and smart-wool socks...

This is bound to cause some anti-biotic issues too.:D

I'm married and will be doing a 107 mile section in late March. If my wife thought I had "dibs" on any female hiker I may meet, I would...

I have looked on every tag and even flipped it inside out. No luck. I did learn that I should wash it in 30C water.
