I use and external frame pack on the AT. It keeps cougars from biting my neck. Carrying a gorget is just too heavy.
Fellow I hiked with in 2001 summed it up nicely: "I hiked the trail for some answers but all I got were more questions."
62.2. Carter Notch Hut to Hall Mt. Lean-to with a 60 pound pack.
Then I went dancing.
I am who I am.
Wish I could help you on this - I own two of these, and it appears I just discarded the instruction manual last fall.
I believe that the "magic wands" you refer too (yellow, right?) are the the...
I have a pair of standard Limmers with about 3300 miles on them. I'll probably be taking them on the Long Trail this year.
Some hungover SOB at Traildays is going to wake up Sunday to find out he bought a house.
Green Mountain Man passed in his sleep at Big Bald shelter in 1999.
And the unfortunately named Phoenix died in 2006 - I think at Mt. Collins Shelter.
Why are you bringing your camera to the toilet in the first place?
You know what? Don't answer that. Please, please, for the love of God, do not answer that.
I resent that Jack!
I wasn't wearing anything.
Has it happened? Is this it? Will this be the year I blow off Trail Days?
I'd have thrown a brick at her.
I thru-hike again because I am a thru-hiker.
To never thru-hike again would be denying who I am.
I think about this every so often, and I'm at odds with it too. Journals for the most part are repetitive and boring. I can't fathom why someone other than myself (and I include family in this...
I'd argue it's more complicated on the AT, simply because of the frequency of bars, ABC's and convenience store coolers can make walking a consistant direction a bit of a challenge.
I've hiked over 68,000 miles on the AT.
-½ mile. As a NOBO, I went from route 19e to Apple House Shelter. A group of us was coming back from Trail Days to where we left off. No one wanted to hike for half a day into territory that, back...
So... will this be updated for my 2012 hike?
Most stuff is in ziplocs, inside a big food bag. I use bread bags for trash.
Give me a few years.
Yup. Too big. Too crowded. Too noisy and too drunk.
I'll probably still show up, but I'll be the older coot reminiscing about Trail Days of my youth. And possibly Trail Days' from before my time.
Ignore them. Every time they trot out those tired lines, don't bother responding, just smile politely and nod.
Then when you get to Hot Springs, send them a postcard. Make sure you mention the...
Vote early, vote often!
The Long Trail, sometime this summer.
I know, I know - I said I was hiking this last year. This time it's definite. If I'm able to swing any additional unpaid time off, I'll probably try to do...
