I agree with Tipi, I try to camp close to a creek in hot weather. I love night hiking and many times I would just remove my socks and shoes and lie down in a creek and then rest to cool off. I do not...

You could park in the Rabun County Courthouse parking lot in Clayton. Just park off to the side, leave a note on the windshield and I think it would be fine.
Got 1350 on first try and only hiked north to Mason-Dixon in sections.
Crocs are my choice. They become real handy as the weather warms and for camp shoes.
Excellent video! Simply loved it!
I've read a lot in this thread about the long time and far reaching impact Baltimore Jack has imparted to many of you. I only know him through Whiteblaze and a few videos clips I've watched. For...
An empty Country Time Lemonade plastic container will work.
I have tried their dried vegetables and they are good, however, they require a longer boil time and you will use more fuel/gas for your stove.
I have parked there on several occasions with no problems.
Imagine the peace of mind if your loans were paid off. I personally think hiking a thru hike with no debt hanging over your head would be well worth hiking without the debt worry. I'm 62, retired 3...
You should be fine with your 20 degree bag and down vest. You should not see temps in the 20's.
I agree with rhjanes, merino wool is the way to go and I've found it dries out faster than polpro or other synthetics. I also wash off daily before climbing in my sleeping bag inside my hammock. ...
Did that section this July when weather was hot & dry. The views from Dragon Tooth, McAfee Knob and Tinker Cliffs were outstanding! I would not want to hike in the muck, rain and miss those views,...
My brother and I stopped there in July when we were sectioning in that area and it was extremely hot. Great place to swim and cool off but there were 2 local girls and 1 local guy swimming there...
Thank you so much!
Hiking a section from McAfee Knob north in 10 days. What night time temps can I expect?
Thanks!
Thanks guys, this is big help!
Thanks so Pastor Bryon!
I am planning a section hike ending at Va. 43 (Blue Ridge Parkway). I have a map that shows a parking area at this location. Does anyone know if you can leave a car parked there for several days?
Having grown up in Georgia my entire life and recently retired from 35 years as an educator and hiked during the summer months, the weather in July & August can be very hot. I sleep in a hammock...
I am picking up my brother at FS 42 in the next few days as he completes a southbound section from Unicoi Gap to Springer Mtn. I will meet him .9 mile before reaching Springer Mtn. where the trail...
I have used HH dried veggies and they are OK. I found that if you do not have time to soak them before cooking they require a long cook time before you can eat them or supplement other foods.
Last week I completed a section of the AT from Pearisburg, Va. to Trout Creek, Va. I noticed many stacked rocks while hiking across a ridge after the Audie Murphy Monument. Does anyone know what...
I have used the Sawyer filter for the past 4 years during my section hikes. After each trip I back wash the filter with the syringe that was included with the filter. I've had no issues and I love...
I am only 2 blocks from the Clayton Post Office. Mail drops would be easily accessible.
