Sorry that this post isn't about the Arizona Trail proper, but it's close...

My sister has invited my family to join hers at a timeshare in Sedona for most of Thanksgiving week. Obviously most of...

Oh, I probably should add the link: http://www.athensdeland.com/Blurbs/mile_half.html

There's supposedly a film about the John Muir Trail called Miles Miles & a Half, playing at the Athens Theatre in DeLand, FL, on August 18. Has anyone heard about this film? Is it any good?

Boy, the quote attribution was messed up on that last post. Sorry.

The question is what do they feel entitled for? If it's the free food, etc., then you've got a point. But many of the people I've heard talking about trail magic received talk about getting...

Rather than creating a separate forum for each trail, I'd rather they set up separate forums geographically for the other trails. Have one for South East Trails, Mid-Atlantic Trails, New England...

I think this leads to a very important point. Each trail has a very different "feel" to it. The more I read about it, the AT is the "social" trail. You hike it if you want to deal with other...

I'm not near the AT, but I provide a little trail magic here in Florida. The FT has road crossings near my job, and is usually pretty dry.

I buy water in those 24 bottle packages at a big box...

Thanks for feeding the box.

According to Google Maps, 503 miles, 8 hours 27 minutes by car, and 471 miles, 155 hours on foot.

Much of your worries about the AT have to do with the social nature of the trail. The Florida Trail has far fewer hikers and is closer to your home. You might want to try that one, first. There...

My urologist says that the pain of kidney stones is comparable to the pain of childbirth. The difference is that at the end of childbirth, you've got a baby and the joy of watching her grow. With a...

My first daughter was born during my senior year in college. My accounting instructor tried to give me some advice. He told me that when his first child was born, he was presented with that first...

There's a case available for the cheap Kindle with solar panels and a light. Might be worth the extra weight to avoid finding chargers.

And thanks for the book listing.

Thanks. Books are always good.

I did my good deed for the week last weekend, feeding the ticks of Central Florida.

It's not that I wanted to, but my 25% DEET Off didn't appear to convince the ticks to bother someone else. I...

Very nice.

Thanks,

OK, I've been looking to up my skills for the outdoors. One way that I've been looking at upping my skills is in First Aid. So I've been poking around the net, and found two sources that look like...

The small Jetboil canisters also fit inside the GSI Minimalist post, which the MSRs don't.

It's interesting the number of Michigan posters who are planning on hiking in Colorado. There's a nice stretch of the North Country Trail that runs through Michigan.

Perhaps they've already hiked...

You mean I should blow air out after hiking a long day? I might as well sing!

(If I sang, the LNT people would probably strongly object, though.)

Wouldn't a flare gun also be useful? (I'm assuming that GA zombies are flamable like the ones north of The Wall.)

I was looking at the various boards on WhiteBlaze that are grouped together as part of the Listing of other Long Trails. There is a decided American slant to the trails listed. (There's nothing...

Fiddles are lighter than g-tars. Go for it.

Attn Guitar Players:

If you must make music on the trail, and you can't adapt to a smaller (lighter) instrument, then take a look at the following:...
