can you hike to the first tent site on the map? zooming the map out, places to stay would be like raphine or sherando lake.

mid march... freezing below 0F temps, frozen ground, frozen streams, nobody around, could be lots of snow or none but everything will be frozen solid

summer or winter, the blue foam mat kicks wins hands down!

*cough* my wife and I did the pre-dirty dancing anniversary year, we were guests on the cheap (wifes idea), as 'testers' for the anniversary. nice place, dont know if I would want to camp/backpack...

I have an old origina Chaos in red/black, not a Chaos X. If your carrying near its capacity, its carries its weight well and the frame and all is very good at it. I've found lighter packs dont carry...

Have fun, lots of hikers going through james river footbridge right now. I picked up several every other day in the last two weeks.

thanks, she is on my facebook thing.

Theres some poor generalisations there. my rectangular 17F bag weighs less than my wifes 20F mummy and packs down smaller. It depends on internal baffle construction, it depends on the ratio of duck...

I had a rectangular. 15F might be a bit extreme tho. I used same down bag summer/winter with no problems. mine is rated to 20F, 650 loft. maybe 15F is not much more weight vs 20F

everything is so well defined you dont need maps. just follow the huge brown swath that all this years hikers made and your set :) you shouldnt have any trouble staying on trail

I remember the approach trail being nice and all then just going up vertical like. It was rough (hey I had 70lbs and a bottle of whisky in my pack!)

Hikers this year told me they have re routed...
