Just want to pass along my thanks for posting... although I don't think a solo hike is for me, I have been curious about it, and was thinking of asking for some additional information...

Except when you're allergic to adhesives. Taping is not an option... maybe wrapping with an Ace bandage... but that gets too bulky. A high or mid ankle boot tide tightly will give more support than...

I am also using the Keen Targhee Mid II. I have a pair of the Keen Targhee shoe that would be great for flat, non-rocky surface. However, since I have absolutely no strength in my ankles, I need...

Have you tried Fabric.com? I don't know if they ship to the great land up north, but they do have the Rip Stop Nylon. They are somehow affiliated with Amazon (they are listed at the very bottom of...

I can't find any women sized clothes for the outdoors that actually fit me. I ended up going with a pair of men's Columbia convertible pants. Although chaffing wasn't a problem when we first started...

We've been by there, and yes, they were super-Über busy that day. I'm guessing it's only going to get more crowded as the summer goes on. We are going to do Marys Rock this week, so I don't think...

We did the Jones Run/Doyles River circuit hike the other week and were able to check out the upper and lower falls.

Just as some background: when I asked the question about the bathing suits it...

I was just wondering how you ladies approach swimming while hiking. There are several swimming holes along some of the trails in Shenandoah and I would like to take advantage of them, but I’m...

I'm hoping to not get any blisters to begin with, or any hot spots for that matter, but what would you all recommend for someone that's allergic to the adhesives in duct tape/moleskin? (I spent a...

I picked up a pair of the green SuperFeet inserts. I think the "berry" (women's) would have been ok, but I went with the green just to be safe. I'll use them this weekend on the Jones Run - Doyles...

This is a new app, and I haven't gotten a chance to DL it yet to try it out, but it seems like a really cool idea. It's called "Leafsnap" and the basic idea is that the app uses visual recognition...

I haven't done anything with inserts yet, but I'm thinking I might. I ended up going with old faithful, the Keen Targhee II mid. I have the hiking shoes, and I found that I really do like the Keens...

Huh, gives me something to think about. My husband is planning to do a thru hike in the next few years, but it never occurred to me that it may cause stress on the relationship. He's going, I'm...

Right now I'm using Keen Targhee II Hiking Shoes. The problem I've run into is that while the shoes are nice for doing walking trails (flat even ground), they just didn't seem to cut it when I did a...

If you're starting in Harper's Ferry, there are two REI's not too far. One is in Fairfax, VA and the other is Baily's Crossroads, VA:
