I'm afraid Rotten Tomatoes and other unfavorable reviews probably got it right. The movie is available to rent via Amazon Prime, and I finally had a chance to watch it over the holiday break. With...

Curious if anyone has seen the new movie titled "Maine" released in December, 2018. It seems to be a fairly limited release - not sure if it will make a wider appearance at some point. It...
I'm betting your story on thru-hiker entrepreneurs wouldn't be complete without mentioning AWOL. He recognized during his thru-hike a need for better hiker resources and created what I would argue...
A warning on the poles: they don't prevent inquisitive raccoons. Had an experience at Rock Spring Hut where most hung their stuff from the installed bear poles (I think that may have been one of the...
I am curious if anyone has seen an Appalachian Trail lanyard (the kind you would wear at work to hold an ID badge). For the longest time I had a Harley Davidson lanyard and it was a great icebreaker...
I like it! I re-created a week-long section hike I did last year and the sawtooth profile brought back many memories of the challenging climbs and decents. I will use this again as I plan the next...
I'm in the early planning phase for a Shenandoah National Park thru hike later this year. OK, technically it is an AT Section Hike, but I think a SNP Thru Hike sounds cooler :). I haven't settled on...
EDIT: Looks like Big Meadows campground and the Wayside (camp store and grill) opens March 24. Not exactly in your early March time frame so I don't know if my suggestion is as good as I might have...
I would suggest Shenandoah National Park in Virginia if it is close enough to make the trip. You could make Big Meadows your base camp and get a tent site to call home base for the week. There are...
As the crow flies this happened about 5 miles from the AT. Sounds like a "wrong place at the wrong time" encounter. The mama bear who attacked was put down, leaving behind at least one cub that is...
While not directly AT related I thought others might find this as interesting as I did.
This past weekend a 50 year old guy out for a hike in Montana came across two bear cubs and a protective...
Has anyone come across a large wall map of Shenandoah National Park? I have the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club SNP District maps 9, 10, and 11 and they are great, but I would love to find something...

The summit of Mary's Rock along the AT in Shenandoah National Park. "The steady breeze is almost better than sticking my head out the window."
Can't speak to those specifically, but if you're contemplating something along those lines then I recommend checking out Pacer Poles: http://www.pacerpoles.com They look to be about the same price...
Been following a few that are pretty good:

Consider flip-flopping or a southbound hike if either fit into your plans. Either would put you against the stream of traditional NOBO hikers. You seem to have discovered what I too find as a trend...
I agree. It would be cool to take the features of ATDist.com and something like an interactive Google map of the trail that you could "color in" or somehow graphically represent what part of the...
Compiled from a few recent articles following the release of the annual survey. Bottom line up front: not much snow out there (as others have already mentioned).
California's Department of Water...
Hey! One recommendation I have would be to park at Bears Den hostel (18393 Blueridge Mountain Road, Bluemont, VA 20135). This is located just off of Rt 7 and probably about a half hour's drive from...
I wonder if we can flip the tables and turn this into a moneymaker. The Milwaukee sanitation department dealt with a buildup of their human waste disposal problem in a unique way by scraping the...
