I've always liked the classic Elton John sond, "Don't Let Your SON Go Down On Me."
I'm heading to SNP that same day - but am entering at Swift Run and heading to Loft Mountain. But yeah, hitching shouldn't be a problem. We had to "pop smoke" on a section hike last year and...
This subject comes up once in awhile so figured I'd throw in my two cents... When not hiking barefoot, I use my Fivefingers exclusively. Mine are the KSO model which has the classic sole. As...
I have had the same rubbing, rash problems your husband experienced. Many will recommend products like Bodyglide but I found that simply wearing boxer briefs solved the problem. Bicycle shorts are...
FWIW, if you peruse my photo gallery you'll see one the I took of the bridge at Linden. This is right at the little parking area where we left our car for a few days.
Ha! I didn't notice your location in the original post... Yeah, I guess we are neighbors!
My hiking buddy and I were both using VFF's but a losing battle of toe vs. rock caused my friend to swear off Vibrams forever. He didn't dislike the shoes in general but felt they forced a certain...
I saw the Merrell Barefoot shoes in the store a few weeks ago. Didn't try them on but they "seemed" stiff and cramped - compared to my VFF's.
I've been hiking in KSO's the past year and a half and have nothing but good things to say about them. These are the ones with the "classic" sole which means they don't have the traction of the Trek...
There's no song any better than James Taylor's "Gone to Carolina in my Mind"

Hey RWheeler, I'm a barefoot hiker too! At least I try to whenever possible... The AT is particularly difficult in that the terrain can change from foot-friendly loam to jagged crags ten times in...
This is something I pulled out of my own pack... about six months after a section hike... my long-lost bag of dirty laundry! I was wondering where those shorts had been! It was a varitable...
I'm also a big fan of Tevas (when not hiking in VFF's). My go-to style is the Teva Terra-Fi II. I've got one pair that just keeps going and going...
In Australia they hang corks from the brim of their hats to ward off pesky flies! Might come in handy in Maine!

The zero arch support and cushioning are actually their appeal - that's what I like about VFF's. Make your feet work for once! Your feet may be sore for awhile but they will reward you in the long...
From Susan Letcher's Facebook info... she is currently a resident professor for the Organization for Tropical Studies and lives in San Pablo, Heredia, Costa Rica.
I've read (here, I believe) that the ENO tarps are too small. They even look small on their website. So I just bought something totally separate - a Kelty Noah 9', and have never gotten wet in the...
When I contacted the shuttle folks a couple years ago, they quoted me about $100, and that was for just about 1/3 of the park. On our last section we had to "pop smoke" on day two and had to hitch a...
Thomas, a buddy and I did a 25 mile section of SNP last fall and decided to use VFF's - I used KSO's and he used Sprints. I did just fine but am sad to report that he did in fact break his small toe...
For ALL your cutting needs!

I've been geocaching for years! As for caches along the AT they are few and far between these days with most being something called an "earth cache" where you are supposed to find a unique geologic...
I'm not a runner but I do hike in my VFF's (when not hiking barefoot). I like them a lot and actually wear them out and about town as well - they spur some interesting comments! For all the...
In the spring I plan to continue my canoe trip down the Potomac, this time from Antietam Creek to Whites Ferry. I plan to use the hiker/biker campgrounds along the way but my problem is spotting...
I am also 6'-2", 220 pounds and use an ENO Single-Nest. Sometimes I feel like a human burrito at night and have to think a little extra wiggle room would be great. Go for the double.
sbhikes, you and I are of the same mind! The difference is that you have actually made something. I have also pondered using a thin mouse pad as the sole of an ultralite sandal. I was hoping for...
