I was able to make use of the program when it first started, and am going back to finish up the Whites. I agree, it was (is) a great program! Have any of the details changed? How much do you pay...

Does anyone know if the 2017 Thru-hiker pass program is still in effect for 2020 for the campsites in the Whites? Or a variation of it?

I'd think twice about slacking this section. What are your backup plans if its just plain too tough? And you will not be able to stop where ever you drop since the Whites have very strict rules and...

Ha-- I just found it! I didn't scroll down far enough.

I just tried to find the AT shuttle list and came up empty handed even with the search function. Is there no longer a list that is published by the Conservancy? Is there an alternate list somewhere? ...

I have several questions about the 100 mile wilderness. Exactly where is it considered to begin and end? How long does it usually take to do this section? I'm not a particularly fast hiker, but...

When is black fly season?

Yes, you might say I'm a purist. There are some areas that have given me some grief, having to go back and do the little bit I've miscalculated. I've been hiking this trail for nearly 19 years, and...

Very True! I too would like to build in a little extra time to the schedule. I don't want them to get there and then decide I'd blown them off when really I was still hiking like mad to get there,...

Unfortunately, I won't let myself skip the extra 1.7 mi since it is part of a section that I haven't yet completed. But maybe camping that evening is an option, and shuttling out the next am. Thanks.

I've since thought of a third alternative, which is to drive to Max Patch, & park there at the parking lot & hike in a few miles to the first campsite (we might be pushing daylight after driving...

Yes, I was trying to avoid that and find an alternative. Where is Big Creek Station? Can you camp there?

I need to finish up a section between Max Patch and Davenport Gap. I'm trying to decide whether to hike south or hike north. Thinking about hiking south, I see in the data book there is camping at...

Im planning a stay there mid April & was wondering if there had been any repairs to the privy? And did I read correctly that there is a bear cable? Great news!

So true, MuddyWaters-- anything that takes the worry out of a trip makes for a better trip. Just having this discussion took the worry away from me (or rather put the fear into manageable...

Okay, I'm feeling a bit better about this. Yes, they are respectable and have been around for awhile. I was worried more about somebody slipping in and grabbing the keys who may not be of their...

I have contacted the Nolinchucky River Campground in Erwin, TN. who said they could provide a shuttle with my car. They would drive me in my car to the trailhead and then drive back with my car &...

This is really promising & I'm excited about it. However, I tried to print out my hike using the pdf file, but it was huge! I'd really like to be able to reduce it in physical size so I don't have...

I wore my glasses constantly except in heavy rains so never needed glasses cases. In those few thunderstorms, I wrapped them up in my bandanna, and stored them in my personal bag (which contained my...

Does the AT still go right by the Nolinchucky Gorge campground in NC, near Erwin? I stayed there in 2009 ending my section hike and wanted to stay there again to pick up the hike. It was so...

I'm planning a hike sometime in July from Killington, VT to Glencliff, NH in mid July and was wondering about the water supply at that time. I may be able to push the hike up to late June if that...

I have a tarp tent-- I made it myself, using the Bilgy pattern. I'm thinking that I might be able to stake out on the dirt-- I was thinking you had to keep everything on the pad. But if not, then...

Is Heet okay to mail? Or is it one of those forbidden things? Is there a gas station nearby, off one of the roads? I know the woman said that she knew of one about 10 mi from Crawfored Notch, but...

I have been trying to track down where I can resupply my cooking alcohol (not canisters) in the White Mts. I will be flying in and will be empty, but am pretty sure I can supply at Glencliff at the...

I do not have a free standing tent, and I know that some of the sites have wooden tent platforms you have to use. Sometime ago I remember a tip that suggested carrying along some cuphooks to screw...
