Twilight,

Last year I received accurate water info from the office at SNP that distributes backcountry permits. You should be able to get the number from the main SNP website. Good luck. Look...

Does anyone have recent info on the spring at this shelter or the one listed .4 south of here?

Thanks!

Great info everyone. Just what I needed. Thanks so much!

The guidebook mentions an unmarked trail running from the shelter to a fire road and then out to mile 80.4 on the BRP. Can anyone tell me if this trail is difficult to locate from the fire road? ...

Thanks for the replies everyone. And thanks for the offer Deer Hunter. I may take you up on that. I'm putting the hike together and I'll PM you when I have a better idea of what I'm doing. Thanks!

Hello,

Has anyone had any experience parking long term (8 days) at Long Mountain Wayside? I'm getting some mixed information and would appreciate any input. Thanks!

Hello,

Jeff wanted me to post for him. He's having some issues with phones and internet after the storms that swept through a couple weeks ago. He wanted to say that he is still helping hikers...

Wow. I meant Land_Shark. Guess all those stereotypes about Jersey are true after all ;-)

Thanks for the help everyone. I'll get to work making some phone calls. Thanks for the offer LoanShark. As I begin to pull this all together I'll get in touch.

Dave,

I'm just trying out snowshoes for the first time this year being we are buried in snow here. You can rent them at REI and also at EMS. I've rented 2 pair out of EMS so far, 25" Atlas and...

Does anybody know of anyplace in Bland that would allow parking of 2 or 3 cars for a week? Also, area shuttlers that would be able to transport 7 to Damascus the Friday night of Trail Days? I'm...

Came through this area from Ashby Gap to Harpers Ferry from 10/8 to 10/10. There was water in every hollow from Ashby Gap to Sam Moore Shelter. Rod Hollow Shelter spring was reported to be dry but...

Can anyone comment on the water conditions between Ashby Gap and Harpers Ferry? I know it's been very dry during late summer in PA & NJ. I'm trying to determine whether or not I need to cache some...

Thanks to everyone for getting me pointed in the right direction. I'm heading to EMS tomorrow to pick up some trekking poles for Mom for Mother's Day so I'll get one of those small 4oz containers...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Ender.. that looks like the ticket. I have a gift card at EMS too so I'll pick that up. Dogwood... I tried the Whole Foods in Middletown. Only had the...

I'm going to try hummus on my next section hike. I found a dehydrated version at Whole Foods made by Fantastic Foods that is prepared with water and olive oil. I'm going to use those new thin...

Ex Officio. Check Campmor for sales.

Nuthatch,

My new Platy they sent is the "wide mouth" version. Looking at it, I don't think you can use it like a bottle. You wouldn't be able to screw a cap onto it. It also doesn't free-flow....

The newer style 3L they sent as a replacement has a different connection scheme compared to the older ones. The new bladder has a "port" that the hose connects into. It does not screw onto threads...

I had my 3L Platy replaced last fall. I called first to be certain they would replace it and there were no issues. I had to send my original back to Seattle. I did notice that the new bladder does...

Thanks for the comments everyone. I thought about the spikes because I was concerned about the possibility of ice heading NOBO down the Beaver Brook Trail. I understand it's steep and close to...

Hello;

I understand that one can expect winter conditions at any time in the Whites but in general, what type of weather on average occurs in the Moosilauke/Kinsman area in early October? Would...

I didn't see any burrs. I guess they are not mature enough. I read about the backcrossing attempts of the TACF. It sounds very promising. I guess we'll know in about 10 years. I'd love to plant...

I saw these saplings on the south side of Camp Creek Bald just to the west side of the Trail. I thought they may be Chestnut saplings. There were quite a few in this area. Is that what they are?

Gotta get your Rat Burgers from White Castle. Just steer clear of the Aqua Rats and Coop Rats. A side of tails will do just fine.
