    Default Where is everyone headed this weekend?

    Make me jealous with the awesome hikes you have planned. I was originally going to do trail maintenance with the GATC but I'm not unable to do so. I went to the Dr. today with what I thought was an ear infection but it turns out that I have strep throat BAD. My throat looks so bad that they even took an extra swab to send to the lab.

    Saturday I am doing a 3 hour orienteering course and on Sunday I am canoeing and off road biking. Training for my first adventure race in which I am excited and scared about.

    I used to get strept all the time when I was a young man. Turns out the first love of my life was a carrier. She broke my heart, and I mean broke my heart, while I was in Germany in the army. But, I haven't had strept throat since. You know what they say about your first flame. It never completely burns out. Take your medicine and get well.

    So so true....I'm living that now.

    I gotta visit family in NYC on Saturday but I'm just planning on hiking up to Leroy Smith shelter on Sunday to check out the springs and see how the shelter is doing after the long rough winter. Weather is supposed to be great. Sorry for those of you who won't be able to get out but it's only March.
    Happy Lifetime Sectioner!

    I will be leading a trail maintenance trip in the Cohutta Wilderness (Beech Bottom to Jacks River and then working down stream on the Jacks River).

    Trail Maintenance on Saturday. Anyone interested in hiking up the Backbone Rock Trail to the AT? It should be fun . . .

    Get Well, Sierra Echo!

    See you on the trail,

    I'm taking two of my friends who have never been backpacking before to Frozenhead State Park here in TN (which you drive past Brushy Mountain penitentiary to get to... ha). Any advice on how to get them hooked? I'm keeping the mileage low, picking a beautiful campsite with lots of points of interest, and bringing something good for dinner.

    I'm also trying out all my gear for this summer's section hike! We're going to have a high of 70 and a low of 55--beautiful!

    I'm just going to walk around Bull Run tomorrow. We've been on a 12-on/12-off schedule at work since the earthquake in Japan ...which means I'll be needing to run errands on Saturday and Sunday.

    Leaving Sunday for a two night, three day, point to point shakedown hike on the Pinhoti Trail. My buddy and I are prepping for our AT section hike in May. Gonna do 30 miles, hang betwixt the trees and be sure we have our packs the way we want them. I've only got a single overnight trip in my repetoire so I am really looking forward to it.

    I don't have anything lined up this weekend but how about I tell you about my one big hiking trip planned for this year? I'm going to Wyoming in August. I'll spend three or four days doing day hikes in Grand Teton NP and Yellowstone to get acclimated to altitude while staying in a "tent cabin" in Grand Teton. Then I'll backpack for seven or eight days in the Wind River Range with a couple buddies. I'm really fired up about it!

    Going nowhere this weekend. On Monday I drive to Athens, GA and on Wednesday morning I get dumped at Springer!
