I need to leave the trail for a few days on the 5th of June. Lee, MA would be a comfortable hiking distance from where I am in NY (Graymoor Spiritual Life Center ball field). Anyone know if I can...

Stayed there last night. Red Dogs description is spot on. Good luck finding open wifi anywhere in town as the local internet provider won't allow it. You need to be a customer of theirs to log on ,...

I stayed at Ron's place in both Hiawassee and Franklin on my current thru. Bargain prices and treated very well. Highly recommend.

I'm 6'5" and the FC fits me fine. No room for my pack inside the tent, but that's what the vestibule is for.

I bought the FC1 last October in preparation for my thru. I returned it for the CS1 last month. The smaller vestibule and end entry were an issue, but what I really didn't like was the number of...

I have exactly the same issue. I've been poking around the internet and connect find a good solution. GPS Pal by Colombia is a third party solution that comes close-ish, but it's way more than I...

Using an iPhone, is there a way to update a map with current and past locations? I'd like to update my location on a map every 2 - 3 days so that my friends/family can track me as I hike north. I...

Please be aware that you will need to apply for and be granted a B1/B/2 visa with an allowance for a 6 month stay. A normal tourist visa stamp would not give you enough time to complete the trail.
