Was seen a couple times between there and Max patch
Was possibly seen April 1st at Fontana Dam with a Sobo Thru
I don't know if this has been shared here but her name is Sadie and she has been missing for over a month now...
I appreciate everyone in advance agreeing to only post helpful comments that are...
There is roadside parking just up the road at the trail crossing however I bet if you arrive and talk to the owner/ caretaker it wouldn't be a problem parking right there at it, either way I would...
Nice! That is an under rated section in my opinion. However, I believe winter backpacking as a whole is under rated.
I am sure some will not relate, but for others it may hit home...I will use myself as an example.
For many trips, I would say the majority of them...Day 1 & 2 are high moral basically no matter...
Nailed it. Facebook has more or less consumed the internet audience for most activities; its not a whiteblaze thing, or a hiking thing...its a platform thing.
We also have to look at how these...
A good idea. Especially as a replacement to your wife having to do all that driving. Still not a bad idea likewise
Hey I get it, sometimes its best to go with your gut/ resolve even if it means a bit more legwork, if it puts your mind at ease its worth it. Same as driving back to the house to check that the...
Well to clarify they didn't want a day to day plan. They just wanted to know where I was getting on the trail at if outside the Table Rock SP. its a real great trail tho
PinballATL this is not the answer you are looking for, but I am curious why you are against the trailside parking? If luxury/ nice vehicle is the case I understand but if its just a daily driver I...
Larry you carry the correct trail name, you are in fact crazy. In 13 years or so on the forum and hiking community I think you have successfully lived up to your name in every instance of published...
This past weekend my very best buddy and I took on 48 miles of the Foothills Trail from Whitewater Falls Rd to Table Rock State Park.
What a trail!!! Totally blown away at the amount of work that...
Any update on this? Everything fell off on facebook which isn't promising. That is a dedicated pet owner hands down. Hope all turns out well.
#1 - try a pack on prior to purchase. You can try it on at REI etc and then buy used.
#2 - Nothing wrong with buying used gear. Just make sure your price matches the wear of the item.
"I...
Still no on trail experience with this but I do have about 30 miles of road walking experience with it now...Going to carry it along the foothills trail this weekend. So far the garment has met my...
Fontana resort and fuel station have a quality resupply and nice rooms if you were to need that.
I would suggest downloading the Farout app. It will answer all of your questions. It is hard to answer someone's questions with so many unknown's.
How many in your group?
How fit? Typically...
Do we need a satellite phone?
IMO this falls into personal safety and only you can make that call however I can provide that I have never carrier one, my cell phone has always had ample...
South of Mason Dixon line shuttles average $1 per mile. North of there its $2 per mile. My info is getting dated now however so your results may vary.
I agree that $170 seems a bit steep...
This is the way to go IMO
I was picked up at Highpoint, NJ by "Moseys Hostel" phone number: 8452393028
May have been addressed already but I skimmed with no reference....Garlic mentioned site selection, I think in terms more on elevation. I would like to add "ground coverage selection". Grass/ dirt...
