To be clear, I'm glad they are ok, and I am glad that this person was honest. Reading the title, I expected something a little less user-created. Glad no one got tasted.
Sorry, I think this story was mistitled. I feel for the author, and appriciate her honesty but the article should have been titled: "hikers do not heed warnings or follow recomended best practices...
So Hazel creek isn't that bad?
Its ok, sorry to be confusing. We've been thinking about both routes so I could have confused them, One up Jenkins Ridge (or eagle) to Spence and one up Hazel Creek/Welch ridge at Silers. We'd then...
This is our intended route: Proctor, Hazel Creek, Silers, Fontana. I'm very familiar with the A.T in the park, but not with Hazel. We've done about 11 winter hikes, Mt Mitchell, Mt Rogers, Dolly...
Hey y'all, looking for some intel on Hazel creek in winter. Looking to do a loop with the A.T. by taking a boat to Proctor then up hazel to Spence. Most interested in the water crossings, trail...

-The land is owned by the National Park Service. It's not National Forest like most of Central VA because it's out of the USFS proclamation boundary. It's narrow because we haven't finished acquiring...
-the first factually infallible post on White Blaze!!!! I see that LaurieP has not posted yet, but to keep you all from ripping each others eyeballs out (too late) I'll try to help: This is not my...
thanks! were getting close any looking further toward Peters Mountain?
Probably not quite what I need, but thanks!
Hey folks, I am in need of pictures of Pearisburg and the New River Valley prior to 2013, when the Columbia gas line was built. Much appreciated!

If you are really interested in paying it forward check out the Konnarock Trail Crew.
I was part of the decision team that developed this regulation. The reason that it's just for this particular section is because there was a time when this section had a seasonal closure to camping...
Check out an ATC Trail Crew, they are free, offer a little adventure, fulfilling hard work and camaraderie. Google Konnarock Trail crew.
Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I want to reiterate that I do not plan to oppose all pipelines or energy infrastructure. My house runs on Natural Gas after all, but there is a right way and a...
Hey folks, just a point of process here. We've been commenting, providing guidance and evaluating "resource reports" which have lead to the publication of the 'DRAFT Environmental Impact Statement"....

You are correct. My understanding is that the IMT from the 741 spur (7411) to 16 was never part of the AT. I don't know about when that section of the IMT was completed, but if I got to hike it, I...
Horses were allowed on the IMT back then, and still are, and Mountain Bikes are as well all the way up to the IMT 'Trailhead' at the gated 741 spur. Now Trail north of the 741 spur is hiking only...
Still tracking this one down but found out a few interesting tidbits over my lunch - The AT was on that route as late as '74, maybe later, but the IMT was a multi-use trail (and still is at many...
I'll find out and get back to you.
There are plenty of people who go back that far.
Feel free to call sometime, I like questions that don't involve someone's 23 year old son that has stopped...
Hey MyFeetHurt - I like your post's focus on the positive quality of the AT community. I think the point here is that there an inherent, cumulative and corrosive downside to these hiker feeds that...
