I'm planning on doing a long section hike on the PCT starting in Mid Sept 2010.
I've got all my stuff mostly worked out except getting to and from the trail.
I'll be flying into LA and want to...
Lonewolf,
Have been thinking about you and gypsy. You guys have been in my thoughts. Stay strong and get back to health.
Peace be with you
Gypsy and Lone Wolf - I will be thinking about both of you and will be hoping for the best. Speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear about your dog passing. They are family! I'll be thinking about you during this difficult time.
Peace be with you

You're spot on. You can transfer, but the earlier the better and you'll need to go thru the Pinkham desk. I would suggest getting on that transfer now. Once on the trail it can be a real...
If there is availability you can transfer.
If you want to use a 20 degree bag, you can start in mid to late March. However, if you're going to be out there in a 20 degree bag that time year, you really need additional protection for warmth. ...
I have both a Zrest and a inflatable pad. As Footslogger said, the inflatable one is more comfortable, but the Zrest is not prone to puncture. After having my inflatable puncture while on the trail...
My journal. I love to write at the end of the day. It's a great way to capture my thoughts and experiences.
No worries - it's way to early - watching the fog lift from the trees!
I was answering dmax's question, as Jack addressed the first one. That's why I started the post with Dmax.

It's called Ode to the Appalachian Trail and is about his 1998 thru hike. A very different read from Walking with Spring, but still good. I enjoyed it a lot.
A quick read as the entire...
Tin Man,
You'd be safe from Damascus as it's 160 trail miles North of Damascus. It's the very southern end of Central VA. Extremely pretty country!
You're right I said that. My dog will know you're coming up to the shelter long before you even know there's a dog in the shelter. It's my responsibility to rectify the situation, by both...
Ahhhh That seems to be the right question to ask.
Here's what Lone Wolf failed to mention. He's cursed at fellow trailplace users, insulted them by calling them names and alienated users by...
I have a front carrier as well and have used it very sucessfully in the past.
I really don't want to debate the merits of her being on my back or front because I've hiked with her on both and know...
I have no problem carrying up to 50 lbs on my back. We won't be doing full day's - double digit miles. Will probably wind up going 5 or 6 miles out and than back the next day.
I won't be having...
JAK - thanks for the note.
The front baby carrier be have (a Baby Bjorn) is only rated up to 22 lbs. She's 30 lbs now. The other issue carrier her on front is that it tears me up physically. It...
I'm very interested to take my 2 yr old on a father daughter overnight this year.
I have a child carrier that I take her in for dayhikes, but it's not beefy enough to carry her and overnight gear....
Jeremy's Run is a wonderful hike along an little creek/river. You wind up crossing it countless times.
Real pretty and peaceful
If you haven't backpacked before, I would first determine how many miles per day you can and want to backpack. While SNP isn't full of steep elevation changes, if you're not used to carrying a pack...
If you're willing to walk a few miles off the AT, Shenandoah NP has some real good trout spots. License required though.
Yes, it would be sad if it's taken down. It's unfortunate when we don't understand the impact we have on the current and future of the AT. I'm convinced too often people just don't get it and think...
The only time I would consider it is with a hazard or major obstacle blocking the trail or serious winter conditios where you're walking from blaze to blaze and may not recognize a switchback. ...
