I did a day hike a few years back. Started in Boiling Springs and went north. Beautiful trail! So, I’d suggest researching and starting perhaps south of Boiling Springs to determine how far a two...
Traveler, I think you might possibly have misinterpreted what George meant. Reading this thread says to me that you, George, 4eyedbuzzard are likely engineers, project managers, project accountants...
I cut up an old yellow washcloth that I pin to my pack
Here's a blast from the past:

Second Chance did a Special Episode where he ran into The Trail Gorillas which were several guys who are part of the PTCA...
Well, I followed your link and could not, for the life of me, figure out how to listen to the interview. I couldn't find something to click that would play it. Would someone mind giving me exact...
Good find. He said he had been on trail for 75 days and hadn't weighed himself for about 10 days so that means that by approx. 65 days, he had lost 55 pounds. That is awesome for him.
I've...
Thank you for posting this link. I had missed this episode which was powerful.
"...the ATC’s Karen Lutz was surveying one such property when she noticed a bearded man plodding up the road behind her."
So, you think she was surveying the property from a car?
"She was a stone’s...
This post was written 11-24-2017 so I thought that the book would be out in summer 2018. I followed the link to the author's website which said the book is available for preorder. When I followed...
I love your daughter's enthusiasm for spending time with her Dada and your excitement about it. You have to treasure this time because they grow up so darn fast! Have a GREAT hike and be sure to...
Yes, Lone Wolf will have the best advice. He gave me a recommendation 10 yrs ago for where to leave my vehicle in Damascus during a hike into Damascus. Then had his buddy give me a shuttle to the...
Kudos to the Colonel.
Does anyone know his trailname?
Is Sly not involved this year?
Why did they decide to move it to Vogel State Park? Does Vogel have cabins?
Although going east through Maggie Valley and I40 is MUCH nicer than going west on the Dragon's Tail road. I get extremely nauseous on that road. Been on it twice. Third time will not be the charm...
Hiked up to McAfee Knob last Saturday and someone was flying a drone up there. So, they will be encountered.
Wondered what the impact on Hiker Hostel has been so googled and it's now called Barefoot Hills. Prices have escalated astronomically. When I stayed there in 2008, a bunk room was $15; in 2013 $18...
I finally broke down and bought one last year and used it during my section hike of Maryland. Thanks QiWiz!
Additionally, when we parked there 11 yrs ago, they requested that you come in and sign a log with model, license & estimated time you'll be back.
I carried faux crocs on my recent section. As mentioned above, they are great in protecting your toes, they're light, and they can be hiked in if need be. I misjudged a rock crossing and my left...
Nina & Pete are the staff now. They took very good care of me.
Stayed at the Harpers Ferry Hostel in Knoxville, MD. It's at 19123 Sandy Hook Road. It's just past the 340 bridge, take Tryst Rd to Sandy Hook. It overlooks the River; awesome location. Enjoyed my...
I stayed the night of 4/26/27. Got water at the creek just past the road; thought I'd check out the boxed spring but the path to it was all deep muck. Next morning as I was hiking up the hill just...
All the rain that is forecast is giving me pause. Are all the panels, speakers, music, vendors indoors?
Made my reservation. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! :cool:
