Don't worry about how people make their days, Slo-go'en... I've been a licensed backcountry guide/WFR/LNT certified with over 30 years experience on the trail... I don't travel 'stupid'; that base is...
Planning SOBO E2E Sep 15-> early October... Hoping for a 12lb. base, reach out!

BTW I'm aware of the nearby Raven Rock Shelter & campsite area!
Northern MD- The Devil's Racecourse Shelter has been removed as of June 6. I cannot find anything referring to a ban on the nearby tent sites... Anybody?

I too feel that a bit of the meaning is lost... I frequent the relatively near Monongahela National Forest that is frequently only called 'the mon'. The beauty of the word is lost... I personally...
Heading out in early April... I'm more interested in the cold weather, not so much the Blackberry milkshake.
Anybody hopping on, either NOBO or SOBO? Hoping to see a few of you out there!
Just wondering to spread a little trail magic. Thanks!
Ok. I hike & backpack a lot. Typically all year in the mountains of WV. Could anyone help me with the typical, and low temperatures hiking January-March south of Virginia (on the trail)? I'm trying...
