Why not list it under the "work history " section with start and ending dates, just like any other job. The description could incorporate "planned and executed 2000+ mile hike on the Appalachian...

I took my son to REI this PM to look for a laptop bag and it turned out to be a scratch and dent sale day. While he was looking for a backpack, I wandered over to the S&D section where I found a Big...
Isn't there a saying about "mad dogs and Englishmen"? Seriously, Georgia will be hot and dry and dusty, and did I mention HOT?
Way Back on Page 4 or 5,
Its illegal again for now. A judge said that the park service didn't do a complete enviromental impact study on the rules change and held up implementation. The ruling...
Ah yes, the crapper counter. Its set to only record one "deposit" in a given time period (I think its 4 minutes?). Otherwise the typical scout troup that jumps on the matt 50 times would seriously...
Yellow-blazin' hiker trash!!
I don;t get an error, but the distance calculations are not working:
The distance on the Appalachian Trail between
Springer Mountain, GA and
GA60-Woody Gap, GA is
0.0 miles.
I have a minister friend who says they don't watch Jerry Springer or Cops in their house because they have relatives that might show up on either show!
Mountain Crossings is directly on the trail, everything else can claim to be trailside.
P.E.T.A. = People Easting Tasty Animals?
I went up to Springer earlier today with my 13 year old to check the road conditions for a hike I'm leading on Saturday. The route in from Ellijay was much better than the Nimblewill Church/FS 17...
Mr. Gene has written a book, "The Trail of my Life". He brought some to the GATC Holiday Luncheon to sell and autograph. I picked up a copy, but have been too busy to read any of it. If its anything...
It hasn't been re-blazed in a while. We may blaze it during the Appalachain Trail Festival in the early spring, we are going to try to organize some maintenance in the park during the festival this...
Thats the section I maintain - Visitors Center to the top of the falls. Not a lot of water bars to worry with, but I do have to keep an eye out for termites in the steps :)
Nah, it was all just a silly misunderstanding. See, someone told him to sign the registers at each shelter. He misunderstood and thought he was supposed to sign each shelter, so he did. :rolleyes:
1 gallon heavy duty zip loc bags. I carry several spares, since they can rip, but they weigh next to nothing.
Check out the GATC at http://www.georgia-atclub.org . We are a hiking club, in addition to maintaining the AT. We offer our members over 100 hikes every year. Every weekend has dayhikes, and we have...
I've not been a fan of AA and AAA powered cameras. They eat batteries like they are going out of style. I would recommend getting one with a viewfinder in addition to the bigger LED and turning the...
http://georgia-atclub.org/water_resources.html as of 8/23. We were able to update pretty regularly until the Ridgerunner season ended. I'm not sure how often it will get updated for the rest of the...

Preaching Rock is the view spot on Big Cedar Mountain. Its the first big climb out of Woody, with about 7 or 8 switchbacks. There is another viewspot about a half mile further down a 50 yard blue...
I use the AquaStar.Same principle but its designed to fit in a nalgene.

I was leading a GATC hike last August from Unicoi to Tray. We hit a stretch of trail where a bear cub had dug up 4 nests on his way downhill. The lead part of our group walked into the first nest and...
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
Bluto: And it...
Thats the section I maintain. It starts at the Visitors Center and ends at the top of the falls. I don't have very many water bars to clean, but I do have to watch out for termites in the...
