$750-$1000 ...ouch. Out of my price range for watches.
Yep, It's a Galaxy S5, so several years old. I should probably upgrade soon.
Thanks for the suggestions. I may give the Casio a try before I spend bigger on a smart watch.
I've used my phone in the past but the issue is battery life with it as well. I usually just turn the...
I'll definitely be back up on Leconte at some point. Thinking about a winter solo trip or maybe a spring trip with my son. He'll be 12 by then and would enjoy it.
MovesCount, I'll look into that.
DC Rainmaker - I'm somewhat familiar with from the Tri community.
Thanks TJ.
Yes, I'm familiar with Garmin quality. I have (read) that the Sunnto's are solid too.
The Garmin Instinct looks interesting as well. I'll have to research that one a little more.
I didn't see any birds, but I know what you mean about walking down. It took me 9 minutes to get from the top back down to the AT. And that was with the use of hiking poles. Of course going up was a...
I've decided I need to upgrade to a more functional hiking/mountaineering type watch.
I'd like GPS, Altimeter, Compass, and barometer.
My early research has led me to the Suunto Traverse. ...
I just got back from my trip to GSMNP.
I'm happy to say that all objectives were met.
Day 1 I went up Alum Cave Bluff Trail and made the LeConte Summit as well as Myrtle Point and Cliff Tops. The...
It can be a thing anywhere.
Sometimes life gets in the way.
Stuff happens. But if you are caught, you will be escorted out, so I've heard.
I'm no professional photographer so I don't feel I would be qualified to be giving much advice on the subject of camera choice. One website I found that helped me find my latest camera however was...
A "Leon, The Professional" reference. Love it.
Also, you mentioned that it may be time for a new camera, what are you currently using?
Thanks for the info and the google map image.
So if I come to the intersection of Dry Sluice Gap Trl, then I've gone too far, backtrack and look for the trail uphill to the Real CB.
Thanks again,...
Thanks TN!
Charlie's is on my agenda for my hike next month. I'll try to find the real one.
( Side note: Whiteblaze needs a "like" or "Thank You" Button! )
Since this thread has bean brought back up, and I know HooKoo is still around....I have to ask what is the REAL Charlie's Bunion? I didn't realize there were two.
Clif Bars?
Absolutely. These past 2 days in Georgia (as I'm sure you know) have been brutal. And Summer is just getting started.
I'd spend the whole summer up on a mountain somewhere if my job and spouse would...
Great shot, TJ.
Beautiful!
Nice. Thank you!
Thanks everyone!
I'm planning on hiking Mt. Leconte in August via Alum Cave Bluff Trail. While doing a little research i noticed that just past the summit heading SE there is another peak known as Mt. LeConte Myrtle...
What is the permit process based on? Is it just luck of the draw lottery or is there a selection process based on something tangible?
Great Report.
I'm hoping to climb Humphreys next summer!
Just picked up a Mountain Hardware Bozeman Torch 0 degree synthetic bag for half price if anyone is interested.
$75, regular $150. I think the Flame 20 degree bag is available for the same....
