Just noticed this, but I'll add my name to the list as well, if it isn't too late.

Yeah, I encountered 2 or 3 guys like this who were just "off." One guy in the Shenandoahs named "Yo-Yo," I think, who genuinely made me feel nervous. Another guy at a hostel in Damascus, and a third...

Yeah, have some experience outdoors and some 0 degree stuff, though.
Also, call wherever you are planning on resupplying at and make sure that they are still open.

Finishing the AT in late...

Agreed. Best place on the whole AT, I think.

That sounds like a good trip, but I would think that you are going to be surrounded by a lot of other people who have the same idea. That part of the trail (especially around Dahlgren and Annapolis...

Yeah, pretentious and completely negligent. They lost me when they hid a box of food in the woods and went back to get it in a week.

It actually worked, but that didn't make me any happier about...

You know, Shawnee State Forest in Southern Ohio is a little bland, but the hiking is mostly easy enough. I would tend to agree with the Grayson Highlands suggestion, though. You could drive or...

Hiked briefly with a fellow who brought his goat with him. It was a perfect setup: Ali Baba (the goat) carried their 10 lb tarp-tent, ate his food along the AT (not sure if that's LNT or not...), and...

Awesome! Great to hear from you. Are you still thinking about NOBO next year?

Hiked with the Mikes from UC for a little while in Maine-we did the notch together.

SOBO '08

and that stuff is Broadbent bacon, too. Literally the best bacon money can buy.
It's from KY, too.

Or you could try out an OLPC (if they are out yet):

They weigh just over 3lbs, are resistant to dust and water, and I'm pretty sure you can still spend ~$300 to...

Hey beastxc, I plan on leaving late in June from Baxter, so you'll probably pass me up. Being from around the same area of the country as you, the problem I've had is finding good backpacking trails...

Hey all...leaving in two weeks or so for Baxter. Once I get this god-forsaken thesis finished.
:(

Best I've had are in a Cincinnati ( :eek:) establishment known as Penn Station.



$100 on a cheesesteak, though, shows that some people simply have more money than sense.
I guess people could...

This is very good stuff to know. I'm also planning a sobo thruhike in Mid-June and was thinking a 50 degree bag w/pullover, etc. would suffice.

been lurking on here for a while, but I suppose that I should take the time to declare my intentions...
heading Southbound starting in the middle of June.

I bet I can tell you the first thing you did once you got on the trail.
:eek:
