Thanks Mark. I'll consider that.

I've found that page but there is no information about road-crossings or even rough-geographical area so I can't tell if a shelter is by Rutland or Canada....

Can anybody recommend for me a VERY easy 3-4 day hike on the Long Trail near Burlington? I'm coming off the tail end of an 18 month hip injury and I'd like to ease myself back into backpacking this...

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to take back this offer. I thought I would have a vehicle this summer but it turns out I won't. I'm really sorry if anybody was counting on me. But Great Barrington...

Well i'm subscribed to "NON AT-Topics" but I don't see ANY threads in that forum. It's just empty.

It is indeed a beautiful town. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else except maybe Vermont.

I'd recommend that all thruhikers at least stop by for lunch and laundry, if not a not a night (hotels...

Do you think I could be let into the group so I can see it? I'd appreciate a work of my writing not just being taken from me for scrutiny in a private forum.

Just posting to let this years crop of hikers know that I will be available for some shuttling and other trail services around Great Barrington Mass. I can't drive far due to a back injury but I'd...

I had posted a topip, "The Search for Wisdom" which had sparked some debate and got moved out of this forum into another, I assume, more appropriate place, but now I can't access. Can somebody point...

I am reiterating some things that have already been said, but perhaps you'll take them into consideration coming from two people:

Ditch the 3rd and possibly even the 2nd pair of shorts, especially...

I carried 8 days worth of food going into the Smokies and that was way more weight than I'd ever care to carry again unless I'm doing some serious mountaineering. It (the weight) could have actually...

My REI 10* Bag really didn't work well at 10* without a silk liner. It was the down Mojave.

Don't underestimate the southern mountains.

Granted, I started in January, but I was expecting 10 degree nights. What I wasn't expecting was 10 degree days and -10 degree nights, which is what I...

I'm currently in College, after taking 15 months off with the support of my parents. The people who are here because of "pressure" from their parent's ruin it for people like me who are here because...

Yep, what Jack said. It's a great week long hike. PM me if you need any info on the CT/MA border area and/or a shuttle back to your car or anything of that sort.

Make sure you bring at least 3...

I agree. Thoreau was a pussy.

Not from the area but have visited, and it was only a 20 minute or so drive from banner elk to boone.

Haha, they are a vegan "alternative" to a hot dog. I find them absolutely disgusting, but I know that there are quite a few vegan hikers so...

Just bumping this thread as the hiker packs begin to arrive at Mass.

Any hikers in the area? On July 4th and maybe 5th, myself and some friends will be at The Hemlocks shelter in Massachusetts, serving Hot Dogs, Tofu pups, and sodas. We're doing it at the Hemlocks...

I saw that Thr'ills, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and a few others had lunch at the Hemlocks on June 24th.

While the primary "messages" of the bible (koran, etc.) that are taught today are love and kindness and that sort of good thing, that is not always what the book says. The problem with these books...

Sorry you couldn't continue to enjoy my journal. I'll be making one final conclusion post soon once I get the results of my MRI. The leg is still pretty messed up.

But yeah, Zero's Journal is...

I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. I would have slowed down to 1/10 my desired pace if I could have had my girlfriend of 2 years out there with me.

My Dad has a camp up in that area. I think he's only 20 miles from the AT via the Jo Mary Road. His name on here is "Fly By Mike". I'll talk to him but you might want to send him a message.
