    Morning Driver, how've you been?

    Not much has changed in the cafe, still plenty of filtered water and ADHD for everyone!

    Sounds like a great day you're planning, have fun!

They are not right to tell the other guy they are wrong when they don't see it their way. Just saying. People should be more tolerant and less critical when giving advise. Us noob's feel like we are being told that we are disrespectful to people with more experience when they are collectively saying opposite things to us. They all deserve my respect. I want their advice. I need their advice. However, I can't agree with all of them when they say opposite things.

    I have a sign in my house that says, "If I knew grandchildren were going to so much fun, I would have had them first". They are the best, but they are in Texas.

    They can't even agree on the ten essentials... they don't believe in survival skills, it's just walking until they get into trouble and call someone... IGU. ( I Gave Up)

Not so much on AT but PCT where trail was burried in snow for most of the day.
    Very Few.

    Respectful advice on a blog, takes time and effort... We can't change others opinions..I get frustrated with people that say they want to hike with a shower curtain, Just because you can doesn't mean you should.


    Well you had fun after I went to bed...
