Just this past summer, two thru hikers from PA came off the trail in Kent,CT after dark in the rain so they could get something to eat. They stashed their packs in what they understood to be an...

Absolutely agree. It's about the journey, not the destination. I read an article about a couple that did the LT in VT in 13 days when it should take 20-30 and all I could think about given the misery...

Call me silly but I thought hiking was about getting out on the trail to experience nature, not to be out scouting for tail. Gosh what was I thinking.[/quote]

That is exactly why I started this...

The Whites if the weather is good, although forget the summit of Washington if time is short, The buildings up there really do take away from the experience, but on a good day the Presidential Range...

Deb, These appear to be spread from NJ to at least MA. Is it possible to refer this issue back to the ATC? or at least the AMC which oversees this area? Maybe they know something. Perhaps other...

Does make a bit of sense, however since they seemingly appear on the trail for at least 150 miles, I'm not sure that's right.

Now that'sfunny!

It figures, I seem to have a knack for digging into old topics! You guys must love the newbies.

For fear of sounding dumb, I have to ask if you are serious and if so, what is a Hash House Harrier group?

I thought that also until I saw them almost 50 miles aprt from each other, That also eliminates the cross country thing too. The trail is way too tough for cross country.

Thanks,

gumwood...Thanks for your input. I also had mixed emotions about the article. Clearly, I could see both sides of the discussion.. the author being both the victim and the enabler. I was initially...

We still road ride a great deal in the summer in addition to hiking (30 -50 miles per trip). We did some bike touring many years ago. For us it was not a lot of fun riding with that extra weight on a...

Sgt, I can see from some of the replies already that what you point out is true. I can see both points of view regarding this article. As I stated earlier, I searched pink blazing and came up with...

I agree. It implies stalking.

I basically searched pink blazing in all forums.

I actually searched the forums before posting this subject and did not find anything. Thanks for the link to the previous thread. I'll read it thru.

I just read an article in the Valley Advocate (www.valleyadvocate.com) concerning one female thru hikers experience concerning male thru hikers she essentially felt were stalking her. While it...

My wife and I just thru hiked the Presidential Range two weeks ago and one of the highlights (if it could be called that given the majestic scenery in every direction) was watching that ridiculous...
