Thanks for the feedback yall. Im figuring the springs in question will have something after all the rain, just wondering if anyone had actual eyes on.

Not sure where to post this.
Wondering if the seasonal springs before the blue mountain shelter are running? The one at mile 49.4 and then Nbound before the shelter. Anyone been through there...
SOLD. Thanks everyone.
It "could" fit you, but IMO there are probably other options worth considering for really tall guys. Im pretty short at 5'8" so if I slide my feet down to one end it puts my shoulders in a wider...
I loved this one too, My favorite thing was being able to guy out the apex and totally roll all the doors away on nice nights. Especially when its warm out. Nothing like drifting off to sleep with...
Clearing out some old gear to finance a hammock rig....
Tarptent Notch, bought in 2016. Full mesh interior.

Mcafee and tinker views were amazing! Even though I took wrong turn before the cliffs and wound up walking around the entire down hill side of them lol! Had to backtrack SoBo to the views. After...
He said condensation, not condescension. Jeez.
Just saw a bear bout 200yds south of that shelter yesterday. Then slept there lol.
They have a great bear box now. Very convenient!
Just finishedbthat bit. The two shelters a mile apart before mcafee are dry. Pig farm campsite/shelter has trickle/mudslick but its disgusting. Last shelter before daleville has low slow flow. But...
Did bout 13-14 miles today. The sources listed as reliable were running. And a few unreliable ones as well. Albeit slowly. Have to scoop and pour. Things are definitely dry but water is gettable so...
Im leaving for VA. today Mrs. R. Probably hike out tomorrow or Sat. If I have good signal Ill update this thread as soon as I get some miles under my feet.
Is your position - one is less likely to have a bear encounter at one of the disgusting, rodent infested, food trash cans, they call shelters? Those things are critter magnets.
I would recommend doing shakedown hikes with full gear and enough weight added to simulate the food load you expect to carry on your section. Roughly 2lbs a day. Dont forget water is around 2lbs a...
I did Unicoi Gap to Tray and back today. The stream the trail parrallels for a second going up rocky is running a little. Dribbley but gettable. The creek down the gravel road from Indian grave is...
I like to hike with one of each. Specially the first 12 months of the year.:D:D

Oooooohhh greeeat raaaain godddsss! Please rain on virginia until next week then kindly stop so I dont have to walk in it.......only drink it.......and the lottery thing while your at it.........
I disagree to a point. If you turn that diamond pitch into the wind and use natural cover on the open side its a very weather worthy pitch. For me thats one of the attractions of tarps, being able...
Data book has it at 88.6 in 2013, and It was 6 days, had to look up my notes.:D See not to fast even then with semi trail legs. lol.
That's one of the things in my "Pro's" checklist when hiking the AT. I might not be able to get a call out, but "they" cant get me out there either.
Think I'll start with my larger backpack. ...
I just hiked a 10ish mile loop of the approach trail - hike inn trail today. I carried 2 liters to start and drank the last of it at the hike inn during lunchbreak at the overlook. around 6 miles....
Thank you. I see your number there in my AT guide, as well just in case things get sketchy.;)
Thank you guys! Ill make sure to camel up at the sources for sure.
Anyone been through the long stretch NB Pearisburg- Cawtaba/Daleville recently? How are the water sources looking there? Im going soon and hoping that section isnt as difficult as is looks on the...
