I am making a trip out to Utah for 10 days, and since I am a hammock camper, I don't have a decent tent/tarp to use out there. I have...
Situation:
I might be moving to Colorado late this summer (Early August) and as it happens, that is a good time to start a thru-hike of the CT from what I hear. Also, as I understand it, hiking...
i always had a book. read about 10 on the trail I think. I had a heavy duty ziploc type bag that was big enough to fit any size book. Ready every night laying in my hammock with my Petzl headlamp.
I can't believe I've never met any of you other Lynchburgers here on WB.
that paragraph confused me, but I'm glad it all worked out for ya.
On my hike the 3 people I was with all of the time all had ipods, and listened to them frequently. It was always tempting to have mine sent to me, but in the end I'm glad I didn't. No ipod, no...

Hammocking...
I winged about everything on my hike. I picked a start date at random, felt like sometime in March would be nice, didn't care how long it would take to finish, didn't do mail drops, didn't bring a...

I saw lots of people smokin on my hike. lots.

I was passing through the Whites mid July last year, and my "winter" gear consisted of: midweight fleece, hat, 30* bag, and long underwear to sleep. Didn't need pants for hiking, but a rain jacket...
I live in Lynchburg too
in 2009, a woman named Nature hiked the whole trail in one pair of boots, and then she decided to thru-hike again this year, and did over half of the trail in the same pair of boots she used the...
I want to start a hostel near the Glasgow/ US 501 road crossing in VA near the James River. Gonna call it "Rough Housing".
just a reiteration.

I know this year the earliest was sometime in May, after starting on Jan. 1st.
This kid was passing through Hanover around the time i completed my hike, my friend Tumbleweed had to take him to the hospital. I'm glad to hear he kept going (obviously), but it's crazy that he...
