That certainly sounds worth looking in to, thanks! Driving is not an issue, we're driving in from <cough> Texas anyway. Somehow I'm betting that narrow gauge RR ride is worth the drive to begin...

Hey folks,

I'm looking for some input from people close to the CT.

A friend and I are looking at hitting a reasonable section of the CT for 5 days in late August, we are open minded about...

Why does the "wild west" statement continue to come out when it so flatly falls on its face in the light of facts.

Florida was going to be the "wild west" when concealed carry legislation was...

Had a 60+ year old hiking some of us in our 30s in to the ground in 2003, including a one day jaunt over the roller-coaster in 90+ degree heat.

We had a lot of beautiful weather in 03 as well, the rain stands out,is what people mostly talk about, and it was indeed miserable sometimes, but placed in the context of the whole trip, I'd say good...

I know we lost ALOT by Hot Springs...

I'm not sure how good the information was, but what I heard further up the trail from outfitters and folks who I think would tend to know whats going on was...

Skipped most of the thread, so maybe something similar has come up...

I don't hike ultra light for the simple reason that I do not want to be the one, freezing my ass off in the shelter while...

My down bag is more than 5 years old, has survived numerous short hikes, weeks of camping at the renaissance festival and a thru in 2003 (very wet year), still lofts like a champ and has virutally no...

Starting to sound like we need a Houston area get together sometime.

I'm not sure about parking the truck at my apartment complex, still don't know the rules about cars here too well, but I doubt there would be a problem, no parking stickers or anything. I'll make a...

Hey Mountain Dew,

We met a couple times in 03, I don't remember the discussion much either other than there were questions about water. The water situation is OK overall as long as your not...

We will just have to see how the trip goes. She is very open minded about side trips, but we also have a bit of a schedule we have to keep to and alot of driving to get done. I know she would love...

Oh holy crud, how could I not think of Kincora, I have VERY fond memories of that place, including Bob telling the little group of us that we were among the first hikers to walk one of his...

Argh, I shouldn't vanish from the forums for months at a time! Too much news to catch up on!

My girlfriend is moving from Philly to Houston in a couple of weeks and I'm flying up to meet her and drive down with her. We are going to be running down I 81(?) a good bit of the way and I noticed...

I'm kinda conservative and certainly not pro-drugs, but I find your willingness to commit felony assault to prevent your kids from being exposed to a misdemeanor rather disturbing.

You would be surprised how much dampness a down bag can actually take and still be OK. If they get soaked your in trouble but the whole paranoia about every drop of moisture is misplaced. The rain...

Ugh I hate siding with Weasel... But I doubt homosexuality itself is illegal anywhere, there however are anti-sodomy statutes in quite a few places.

It seems to work pretty well when I actually take it routinely for a while, but I'm bad about getting up and running out of the house in the morning and forgetting to take stuff like that.

As far...

I didn't "evade" anything other than a nonsensical question that is fine tuned so that can only result in the answer you want. Instead I took the discussion a step further and provided more...

It doesn't work that way, the passive ownership of a gun does no harm to anyone as long as appropriate care is taken to secure the weapon.

There is no passive use of drugs unless you grow it...

Do you really want to go down this road? Look at the number of murders going on in cities on the Mexican border related mostly to the trade in marajuana over the last couple of years. That number...

Down and water do not mix very well man, it will compress and lose alot of it's loft or insulation, not to mention get far more heavy than it's worth and will take ages to dry. Fact is that your...

Happy birthday!

I have cancelled all of my future birthdays so I fully support you in your quest to end the birthday tyrrany!

Still eagerly awaiting the next time Jack sits down at your...

No idea about the ipod, I specifically bought an MP3 player that takes AA batteries for that reason. I'm very far from anti-tech on the trail and music is an awesome companion on boring stretches,...
