Isolation. What isolation ?
My gosh! . He is the Appalachian Trail Chaplain of a church conference. No association with the ATC was ever implied. Any Christian organization could appoint someone and call him their AT chaplain....
Years ago a man named Percival Baxter donated thousands of acres of land that he owned personally to create Baxter State Park. Not to mention that upon his death 7 million dollars from his estate...
Seen too many videos of he trail already. Read too many books about it already. Have come to think people who do this are just tooting their own horn. Hope you get healed up and back on the trail.
What a cool thing to do for a great cause. Sounds like it will be an exciting and very memorable experience also.
People want an adventure but they don't want it to be too hard or challenging. A thru hike 25 years ago was far different than it is today with our I phones and trail guides that document every...
It amazes me that so many people who hike the trail are clueless about how much effort it takes to maintain,preserve, and protect the trail. They think its just there and every thing is free. Sadly...
Someone once told me that dogs enter our lives to teach us about love and leave our lives to teach us about loss. And they do teach us so much about both! So sorry for your loss. Glad you had such a...

Two Sightings during my May section hike of GA.
Lets see, 30,000 bears in Maine and how many thousands of acres of forest. Could it be that the bears are so hard to find that baiting and hunting with dogs are the only really effective methods of...
Thank you for your post Cosmo! Without the ATC the trail maintainers and the maintaining clubs the trail would not be nearly what it is. Its not all govt. funded. I believe I read recently that the...
Good point Bearleg! I myself am guilty of walking past a lot of log books without signing them. We like to think we are experienced hikers with a lot of time on the trail and in the woods and nothing...
If its not thru hiker season or a weekend, shelters can be pleasant to stay in. Mice aren't even much of a problem then I have often had a shelter to myself or shared with just the person I happen to...
I use Frogg Toggs for hiking and motorcycling and I like them. I have noticed the material in the sleeves tends to fray and unravel from rubbing against the body of the coat after a lot of use and I...

There are already too many movies ,videos and documentarys about the AT.
Bigfoot only exits for the purpose of terrorizing stealth campers on the AT.
