I went there last year (going back again in October) and was in a jeep liberty suburban assault vehicle and had no problems. I recall it being a very good FSR. That being said, I would check with...

Nice pup 10K. Your dog will always outlast you on the trail for the most part. I'm an off leash guy myself but Sadie comes when I call her to get on leash as we meet other hikers and she stays on...

Going Fontana to Davenport Labor Day week. I'll be sure to high 5 ya on the way north/east. Make sure you have made reservations as they are required for the AT in GSMNP.

I applaud her effort but let's call it what it is. Running.

No, I done a few sections on the southern end. You should have a great time on that section. I did Amicalola to Deep Gap in 09 (very nice section) and will be picking up at Deep Gap to Fontana in...

Here is a great link to the ATC that has all of the shelter and parking information. http://www.appalachiantrail.org/hiking/find-a-hike/interactive-map Good luck on your hike. If you are...

I am doing the same section first week in September, Please post a report when you get back. If this is your first overnight hike, I am an old Florida boy (originally) and my sister (FLA girl)...

Had a pack come through camp Nov 09 at Muskrat Creek Shelter in the middle of the night (middle of hiker night anyway, like 10 or 11 PM) Didn't bother anything and we had 6-7 tenters and I was in...

Did October and November sections for GA and fall is a great time to be out on the trail no doubt. The thru traffic is gone so you can have very light traffic and the bugs are few if any. Days are...

Tangia burner. 19.76 with shipping on amazon. I like the fact that you can baffle the flame for simmering and put a cap on it and save the remaining fuel. Here is a demo that sold me on it. This...

Did the Sipsey loop of 201/202/209/*205*/201 all in the snow 1/15/11. The 205 has asterisks because that section on my map never materialized. Thankfully there was enough foot traffic in the snow...

Had to carry my 45 lb hiker off the mountain after she stepped on copperhead. A mile and a half was about my limit and luckily, that is how far it was to the service road where my brother picked us...

I threw mine out after a 6 day hike in which the ill fitting pack pinched a nerve in my shoulder. Granted I was converting my car camping gear to backpacking and had this pack that I had never used...

Anti bacterial baby wipes once in the AM, once in the evening. They even come in convenient travel size packs that make it easy for packing too. Depending on how funky you are, dry them out after...

I still carry my spring loaded wind resistant candle. I usually get a chuckle when I break it out in a shelter but everyone usually digs it once it is lit. I also like to have it at the tent...

That's why I hike with my dog. She never backs out. You get the benefits of solitude/solo hike and a hiking partner at the same time.

Here is the post. http://www.whiteblaze.net/index.php?page=dogs

Look for a post by Superman about hiking with your dog. VERY GOOD ARTICLE. I'm also a FLA native from St.Pete (UNTIL '98) and section hike with my pup and couldn't ask for a better hiking partner. ...

Great snake pic. I too hike with my dog and last year she did get bit by a copperhead just short of Indian Grave Gap. Talk to your vet before yo go and carry children's benedryl for your dog just...

Also great if you are the first out of camp have to be the one 'facing' all of the spider webs or shooing snakes off of the trail. Love them.

Sadie says "Too young, and too many miles so soon". Wait for his 1st birthday for longer/multi day hikes and build up to it. Find a local trail where you can work up to higher miles too as that is...

Especially if his name is Sam, and your is Alice.

Sadie (Princess) says that is a great suggestion but don't forget to bring a sleeping pad and fleece sleeping bag so your dog can sleep comfortably.

Great video. I like the harness and pack set. Harley did a great job in the video and I loved the part where you were talking about the boots and he held up his paw to have you put it on. My dog...

I only hike with my dog (hound/retriever) and yes it can be dangerous. We had an incident with a copperhead in N. Ga. last fall. If it wasn't her, it would have been me. If she could 'speak'...
