As discussed on another site. I feel that as an out-of-stater, I am agreeable to a small, reasonable fee to help offset the costs of hiking in Baxter. I know I will be in the minority on this one,...

I'm envisioning a whole new arena for disagreement on whiteblaze.....stampers vs. stayers.

I hope to be hitting the trail in mid-march, aiming for a few days before 3/20 to avoid the first day of spring crowd. I hiked from Amicalola to Deep Gap in 2013, and intend to hike from Deep Gap to...

There are alot of great books on this list, but which of these titles would you actually want to carry in your backpack? I loved the Dune series but if I remember correctly the original was a pretty...

Several of the climbers have given Boukreev credit for saving their lives. Krakauer is his biggest critic. Krakauer didn't save anyone, mistakenlytold the search parties that he(Krakauer) saw one of...

I believe those were Axtecs, although if you were the one getting your head cut-off you probably didn't care what they called themselves.

I thought the economy was going to force me to put my hike off until 2012 but I'm back at work and working six days a week most weeks. So if I can save the loot I can do 2011 but if I have to wait...

Hello 2012ers
Was originally planning my hike for 2011 but due to the economy I'm (probably) changing my start date to 3/15ish/12. A little depressed about having to put it off for another year,...

I'm from Elyria. I think I missed the memo on the OH hiker feed too. Think its a great idea though. Maybe it should be tried again.

Great News Gorp-Gobbler:)
I just passed the 18 month mark until Flagg Mt. The closer you get the quicker the time goes by. Hope to see everyone on the trail in 2011.

A better idea for you might be a debit visa card commonly called a "green dot" its a visa or mastercard or american express card that is essentially a gift card that you can use anywhere that credit...

In addition to helping support the park (as many here have pointed out), fees and passes are charged in some parks to regulate the number of visitors, in short to keep then from being loved to...

Good Luck with the interview, hope everything works out for you. :D

Nice to see the "class of 2011" is growing. Welcome to all the new "classmates":welcome Only 657 days left until Flagg Mt.

It was May 1996, Some friends and I went on a 10 day trip to the Smokies. We intersected the AT coming from (if I remember right) Jake's (Gap?) Trail. Sorry I'm at the library and I don't have the...

I was thinking about planning a 2-3 day hike in the Monangehela Nat. Forest for June. I work weekends so I was leaning towards a M-W hike, however, if any WBers, especially any from OH/IN/PA would...

I have come up with thee way to save for the AT or EAT as the case may be. IT requires two years and the ability to not spend what you have saved. It's simple, most of us who are thru-hiking in 2011...

The best part about starting early is that I only have 752 days left until I set out from Flagg Mt. :banana:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana:banana Sorry if that sounds like bragging but I'm...

Some good day hikes in the Cleveland area are Hinckley St. P. , Findley St. P., and Cuyahoga Valley National Park (combine the Buckeye Trail (BT) and the towpath trail for several different loops.) I...

Hi HealthyMom and Hiking Bear,
I'm planning on starting from Flagg Mt. on the Pinhoti on Feb14, 2011. Between the thread that Gorp-Gobbler started and this one, its nice to know so many...

I just bought my new stove and a new mattress. Trying not to get too excited too early. I'm down with doing the B.T. as a practice hike anytime (work permitting). I also know some cool trails in WV...

I plan on starting my thru-hike on or about 2/14/11 from Flagg Mt. on the Pinhoti.:banana I hope they have more of the trail routed off the road by then. I orginally was shooting for 2010, but I...

If you would send me a pm telling me where to send a donation I'd be happy to make a small contribution. I'm not a Billvillian, and I work weekends so I won't be able to attend but I try to support...
