Some of those I remember most form 09 was Hodge Podge, Single Speed, Slag Line, Doc, Hutch, Crank, Jerimiah Johnson, and Wendy. I hiked with these folks more than others.

sickness at home

It is a drafty shleter. Spent a windy, foggy, cold night in the barn this spring. One hiker set up a tent but the remaining hikers (which was a large group) just used sleeping bags and ground...

Nail clippers are a must. Keep the nails as short as possible. Down hill is a bitch when long toe nails are pushing the toe box of your shoe. Dont leave home without them.

On my hike this spring from Springer to Boiling Springs PA I watched many thru hikers lugging their backpack to a spring to fill their camel back, fighting the tube that they drink from to keep it...

How about "LiesALot"

I am off the trail as of June 7th. My wife is sick and it will be about 6 weeks befor she is back healthy. I did about 1100 miles and enjoyed every mile (almost). Thanks to all those who supported...

Wait and get the 2010 version to carry with you. Trust me it will be more accurate. The milage changes each year and it is confusing when you are trying to find roads etc. Get the Appalachian pages.

Just got off the trail in PA because my wife is ill. I used Tyvek as a ground cloth and every time in the shelter under my sleeping bag. Worked great. I washed mine 4 times before leaving to make...

A couple weeks ago I was hiking in Florida and came upon a big boar hog lying in the trail. When he saw me his ears went straight up and he gave a big grunt. I took two steps toward him and he was...

Is there a sign directing hikers to the new shelter?

Thanks for the input===talked to Big Agnes today and they indicated that the older black models had leakage problems but the problem has been corrected in the newer models. I told them I would like...

The valve is brass encased with some type of plastic/rubber

My Big Agnes Air Core sleeping pad started leaking last night. I tested it this morning in the swimming pool and the entire end opposite the blow up valve was leaking through the fabric. There was...

Hope you have a good day. I will not be joining you as I have moved to Florida. However, I dont think there are any shelters in Deam. There are some picnic tables at the lake and some camping...

More stuff than you can imagine.

I will turn 63 the first month on my 2009 thru.

Good information
Thanks!!!

I might have a chance to get out this weekend--Fri, Sat, Sun. I am looking for some advice on a good three day hike in the Smokies. Around 10-11 miles per day. A loop would probably be best since...

Last July my wife and I were golfing in Poinciana, Florida and was riding the golf cart from hole 7 to hole 8 and right there at the edge of the brush was a female bobcat with a kitten. She stopped...

I have noticed that some of the WB's use a shading technique when repeating the words of another poster. I tried everything I know and cant get it to work for me. How do you do that?

Looks like the group leader had to cancel.... If it OK with the rest lets do this another time. What do you think?
