    It sounds like there's a lot of people kicking of their CT hikes in the coming week or so. My wife and I will be starting Sunday, July 5th. Obviously the earlier the better but those familiar with...

    My wife and I were already hitting up the downtown REI so a stop at My Brother's Bar it is! The reviews make this place sound like heaven on Earth!

    I've found the CTF Facebook page to have the most up to date information on closures/snowpack/etc. It looks like Waterton Canyon and the GG bridge over the South Platte at the beginning of Segment 2...

    Thanks for the note on tightening the bag too much. The flow I was getting from the Squeeze varied on my last trip greatly and I had the rubber washer come out when I unscrewed the bag a couple times...

    My wife and I are starting on the 5th. Looks like you'll have plenty of company!

    Will do! Maybe I should head on over to the JMT forum next, I bet they wouldn't mind some extra precipitation this year!
  11. I should have known better than to ask about...

    I should have known better than to ask about snowpack effect back in April! It's good to know about the "half-cup" water areas being mostly reliable this year.

    I guess I should have worded it different. I'm guess I'm curious what most people do with their maps.

    Yeah I figured as much. I was hoping for some voodoo magical transportation method to come from the depths of WhiteBlaze knowledge. :)

    Getting Map Book pages back home

    As of now, my current plans are to de-spiral the CTF Map Book and send each section I need in my resupply boxes. I'll probably fold the pages in 3rds and store them in a gallon Ziploc while using...

    I used to use the regular Katadyn Hiker, then I used a mini, now I use the squeeze. My reasons for switching away from the Hiker were the same as yours, mainly the weight savings. I loved the Hiker...

    I'd think the endeavors worth is up to the individual doing it. If they're making money they'll continue doing it, if they're not they'll stop. As Mags mentioned earlier, if someone wants to purchase...

    At this point, aside from the Collegiate West reroute, my wife and I will probably just hike with the data book. From what I've researched online (mostly here on whiteblaze) it seems the CT is pretty...

    I'm the same way, especially being my first thru-hike. The Indian Creek alternative sounds pleasant enough though.

    My plan is to keep a written journal on the trail then load it into Trail Journals during each resupply stop. Granted I can find a computer and the time to do so!

    We're starting SWBO on July 5th and planning on completing the trail the first week in August some time. Sounds like we'll be finishing up before conditions get too dry.

    Thanks!

    I would vote for the Double Rainbow. My wife and I just got ours a few months ago and love it! Plenty big and has two good sized vestibules for storing gear.
