    I hiked the AT with my dog. I think the trail in Georgia was the best suited for dogs. Several dog friendly hostels.

    I have never used trail runners but look forward to trying them. I have always worn boots. I have worn a pair of tennis shoes. It was a terrible idea as when they get wet they give you foot fungus.

    Mee too. I like to be dry. If the trail ever had a rain drought it would be my best hiking year. LOL

    Agree. Thank you for sharing my thoughts. Nothing is free. It is a misconception to think that anything on the trail is cheap. In matter of fact, it is quite contrary. Convenience charges much higher...

    I have a very vivid memory of this shelter. I hope they continue to keep the campsite open for hikers as I have plans to revisit the location at a later date for old memories sake.

    Don't smoke your weed in your tent if you are camped near other hikers. It is so annoying when you are trying to sleep and someone else's smoke comes in your tent. Be respectful to non-smokers.

    I wear a lot of fishing pants and shirts. They are quick dry and are lightweight. The only downside is the clothing wears out quickly and needs to be replaced.

    Someone has to do IT!!!

    How do you find someone to do farm chores while you are on the trail? Feeding and watering livestock, cutting grass, and general maintenance.
