If I were in your shoes the fact that I am questioning the time restraint would definitely raise a red flag. I would want to hike without the pressure of sticking to a tight schedule.

My favorite loop in SNP is the Big Run Loop. Parking at Brown Gap I use the AT, Rocky Top, Big Run Portal, & Big Run Loop Trails. Little bit of everything terrain wise on this loop. Camping along...

The folks who I see carrying rope for the most part carry parachute cord, anything heavier would be overkill.

I parked behind the Doyle in their lot last week for a few nights and had no problems.

Welcome to WB Crimson. I met you & PL at Cowall shelter the day before you walked down to Smithsburg. Hope your hike was a blast!

You would be surprised how comfortable trail runners are, good grip on slick rocks too.

I too need to buy wide width and the best fitting boot I have had is the Montrail Torre GTX in a wide width.

I am fortunate in that I live close to the AT and oversee a campsite on the trail. I average 2 trips a week to the site knowing that there will be some trash in the fire rings, new fire rings to...

Howdy Buttmonkey. Have a blast on your future adventures!

Met him today at the Ensign Cowall shelter in Maryland. Says he is not really hiking with a group.

Could you work it under the tent once the tent is set up? I use tyvek & have never had an issue with wind.

Always, always watching for pouched chicken (like tuna) to appear. Just can't find it in my area! :(

You will find that everytime you are shopping for groceries, you will be be scanning the shelves for new trail food ideas.

Oh it's a powerful addiction...enjoy it.

Just curious Moldy...If you do not pay the trail back through donations to a club or volunteer your time doing trail maintenance through a club, how do you pay back the trail? Just curious.

North to south you could knock out the entire Md section.

South to north- Manassas Gap to Harper's Ferry is a nice section, about 43 miles or so.

All depends on what you want to see!

Hi KelBel! I think Shenandoah is a perfect place to fine tune your hiking style. Get yourself a set of maps and enjoy your journeys.

I was looking into it too...not much info available yet.

I see this website drifting from being a group of like minded folks who love to talk about the AT.

I for one, am very stoked for you guys! Stoked to hear how it goes...let us know.

Capilene 2 longjohns under shorts work for me in late fall & winter.

Came upon a white goat on the trail one rainy/foggy afternoon in VA.

No it's not a crime. Of course Giggles was concerned about the situation though! What would you think if your wife/girlfriend called you from the trail and was in the same situation as Giggles?

For winter camping I like to wear a pair of Sierra Designs down "booties" around camp...nothing compares.

From where to where?

I'm with ya Solemates....and I don't bear bag.

It's a lifestyle....it's in my blood! So glad I could help you Squilax & Capt'n.
Now I have 2 more awesome friends...one can't have too any friends.
Looking forward to meeting more WhiteBlazers.
