The flower is...

This flower is most definitely NOT bloodroot. Sorry guys!! I have bloodroot growing in my yard in the spring and the flowers are very "daisy-like" and not like this which has fewer petals. I...

I am out here in Texas, not hiking but bicycling and having a fantastic time. It has not rained yet. Tomorrow we have our biggest day and it is 110 miles. Hope I am up to it! Thanks for all of...

If you are camping, and you are out there, and you are prepared, then the weather doesn't matter!!! The 10 day forecast is for your amusement only!!!

Wearing my gaiters makes me walk faster, decreases mileage, helps me carry my ultralight load, and definitely makes me feel younger. hahaha...and if you believe that....

Just sent you a PM with phone number.

Wahoo...we are!! My husband and I are always looking for people to hike, road bike and mountain bike with. We are on the TN side but we don't bite!! We have section hiked all through here, and...

We always use gaiters, low style. I think they keep my socks cleaner, fewer pebbles in the shoes, less muddy, and keep low poison ivy at bay...and on our June hike last year, SOBO from Franklin to...

Scorpion, Glad to hear you rode the Southern Tier last year. Did you go West to East? I start on March 9th from San Diego. What a trip that is going to be!!! I am really looking forward to it...

I, too, am glad to see cycle-hikers here. We have done very nearly 1000 miles on the AT, from Georgia to Harper's Ferry, including a big section last summer, and I did the Smokies with a couple of...

Frosty, I agree....the sleeping pad is one thing I need under my hips, and like many of you, my husband and I each use the prolite 4, 3/4 length. I could not sleep in a shelter (we usually tarp...

We did the CNC (Cross North Carolina) last October and it was fantastic, good weather and great company. The ride was well organized, really fun, and a beautiful route. BRAG is supposed to be...

Marta, You have very good advice. I never got the support for any of my hiking or camping, only "why are you doing it and is it safe, and why aren't you coming to visit instead." Being outside,...

I have done several long section hikes (200+ miles) and find the Ozone just perfect. It does have a better framesheet and several adjustments are possible. I have never carried over 35# in it but...

I have been section hiking for several years, the longest hike being about 220 miles. After each of my longer sections, I experienced numbness on the outer part of both my big toes. There is still...

Footslooger's post definitely addresses the declining participation of boys around the ages of 15-16... gasoline and perfume.... So the best thing is to start a coed venturing program. Although my...

I just did that section in three days, two nights in mid-October. The hike was very nice, the shelters are all "refurbished" i.e. they all have cooking porches and benches so lots of room if it is...

I met Paul and Jamie at the Hike Inn at Fontana about two weeks ago the night before I started my Smokies Hike. They are buying it in partnership with their son and daughter (in-law maybe) and plan...

Beaver, SR521, staff, SR 767

I was at the Shuckstack Fire Tower last week on the first day of my Smokies hike. It is indeed open and you can climb to the top.

Flying squirrels? We had them get into our stuff on the bear cables in the Smokies last summer.

My husband and I are section hikers and are nearly at the 1000 mile mark. (I am doing the Smokies in October with several friends.) We are also cyclists. We have just started touring and will be...

We have dutifully hung our food bag on the cables in the Smokies every time we have camped there. Imagine our surprise with a group of Scouts when we got up in the morning to find some holes in the...

We are looking forward to seeing the campus on September 30th because it is the start of the week long Cross North Carolina, Mountains to Sea Bicycle ride on the 1st of October. I hear it is a...

I am small and love my Granite Gear Ozone, but would definitely look at the Vapor Ki. The outfitter should be able to change out the straps and the waist belt for the correct size...if the pack is...
