Have you considered a Foley catheter? i was faced with that possibility while on the A T last summer but decided otherwise.

There is a marker tree on a trail I hike regularly, even this morning. It set right at a modern section marker. I'm thinking it might have been placed/grown there by early surveyors but a call to...

I usually don't listen to music while hiking but did listen to Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite while hiking there. My favorite!

Thanks to all for the information and discussion. I hadn't seen this topic discussed in the (recent?) past. I intend to use my poles in the conditions described and I see the advantages on glaze and...

Excuse my ignorance, McAfee is often photographed with the sun setting? (I think?) or rising. What direction is the knob orientated, east, west, or? And what part of the day offers the best view of...

You sound convincing. Thanks. The trail in question was slushy dirt with roots that might get caught in the spikes and trip me, maybe?

Our other trails which are rail-trails and (of course)...

On a club hike Sunday some members had installed Stabilicers on their shoes for the snowy hike. The conditions were snow on ground with a slushy dirt trail with hills and some with short steep areas...

Shoe spikes. Hiking with our local club yesterday several members were using spikey-like things on their shoes/boots for traction. One brand was Stabilicers. The trails were mostly snow-covered,...

Thanks for the suggestions.

I have been using those hand warmers. And I understand the chemistry, the iron reacts with oxygen using the activated carbon as a catalyst/reaction site. That's why...

Wondering if anyone has any experience/advice regarding heated gloves. Am interested in heated gloves for general day walks/hiking, not winter thru hikes or arctic conditions, sawing wood or...

Thanks to all for their (belated) responses. At his (hers) suggestion I have been using WMR's link above.
Not only does it have excellent parking and trail accessibility information, it has photos...

Are there any apps, programs or sites that easily calculate the distance and driving time between established (and many other secondary) trail heads or parking areas? Perhaps using Google Maps.

It...

I am fortunate to have several parks and (rail-to) trails to use. My favorite is a nature center associated with a local university. I try to do 3-5 miles three times a week there. Though not...

I appreciate the views provided by some of the various power lines that cross the trail. And it is rather selfish to think our trail is more important than the energy/business/economy concerns of our...

While hiking in my local park this morning I had the opportunity to face time my son and his family while they were at Baxter Peak. I know Grandma Gatewood couldn't do that, but I think it was kinda...

Okay, today I got back from a hike on two of the PA ridges around Duncannon. The AWOL Guide states that Cove Mountain miles 1141 to 1147 are "very rocky." It doesn't seem to mention a rocky section...

Hikede past this cemetry just two days ago. Thanks for the information.
I have no pictures but recall at least one grave that appeared much newer than 1898 which the story says is the oldest grave...

How long do these rocky areas last on the A T in PA? Do they involve essentially what shows in the photo of do they go on and on and on . . .? Various You-Tube presentations show the hiker...

About how long do rocks like these pictures last on the trail? Hiking on
these looks formidable but maybe a short amount would be doable.
Is it about what shows up in the photo or do they last...

Doing a section heading south with two adults much younger than I. It involves the 3K climb up from Tye River. AWOL Guide mentions three possible access points to The Priest: VA 826, ("not easily...

The previous post was supposed to be a NEW thread.
How do I move it? I couldn't find anyway to do so in "edit."

This year there has been much discussion about the trail including the H F bridg​e, Corona virus, trail head and various closures, trail town economics, one's right to hike the trail regardless . . ...

I am organizing a set of day hikes for an adult group in July for the Maryland Section of the AT.

I am open for suggestions of shuttles that could meet (some of?) us at the end point of our day...

We are having our planning meeting in a couple weeks and I have again reviewed the topics mentioned
in many of the responses above.
And again, thank you for your experience.
I will start another...

I tried, but I don't have Paypal.
