Awwww! Thank you! I take notes when I watch the AT thru-hiking vids. So, if I see any thumbs down or even thumbs up, I will post them here. :)

If you truly want to be alone on the AT, do a late fall/winter trek in remote areas where you can't get cell service or they are closed for the season, like Mount Greylock, Mahoosuc Notch,...
LOL so it is...what's old is new again...:)
Hello Red-Dog, thought you meant Pawling NY where the Metro North AT station is located. Never been to Poughquag NY. Wingdale NY is an "acquired taste," no offense to anyone from there...but not very...
Trader Joe's should think of having mini quick marts strategically located in some towns like Palmerton PA. My fav cold soak is Near East Couscous. I cold soak it in a Talenti cup, add olive oil and...
Thanks Sara! After what happened on the AT, we all need to be vigilant and spread the word. I'm sending your YT link to anyone I am currently following on the CDT.
Thanks for the update. I heard it was snowing there tonight.
I would never discourage anyone from starting a business...especially a woman, since I am huge supporter of my tribe! I would echo some good suggestions here. Firstly, I definitely would check out to...
AWWWW! That is so sweet! Section hiking the AT is awesome! Happy trails!
Hi Rubyvermonter, looks like Camel's Hump is looking good for a trek, albeit some snow patches. Several hikers already made the successful summit. Hikers post holing at Mount Mansfield last...
Thanks Coffee for the info. I remember taking the MARC from BWI to DC because Southwest at one time only flew into BWI, but I think they now fly into Dulles and Reagan. :)
That's great you can literally walk home! My DREAM trek - hiking to Mount Everest Base Camp. I have it on my bucket list. I don't have a big enough ego to climb Mount Everest but hiking to base camp...
Holy Cow PatmanTN! I am so sorry this happened to you. I avoid shelters like the plague, but these mice can even crawl into tents too. They have weird chewing habits as I noted in another thread...
That's the issue with Googling...the internet is not always your friend or best resource. You actually have to talk to "live" people who know more than Google. ADDED (15:05) - Here is the "official"...
That's why I put the statement, "Unless, they are taking up so much room to be disrespectful to other hikers." As you stated the quarterly mag published is an "opinion." IF the ATC wants to put it in...
Is your writing project going to be a book? That's cool. "Isolation?" I kind of like being by myself, so I never feel isolated. I am a future AT thru-hiker...never thought about doing something for...
I heard different school of thoughts on tenting inside the shelter. The ATC has no rules against it, so I am not going to police it if I see one, unless, they are taking up so much room to be...
Dogwood...MAYBE you gave John Mackey the idea of UL enough for him to later buy a stake in Gossamer Gear! That's cool! Maybe he can convince Bezos to strategically place WFs at key locations...
Deeds of Trust is a localised legal "Real Estate" transaction, thus, you have Katahdin Region and even Katahdin Iron works, which the AMC purchased, as part of their MaineWoods Initiative. It has...
Are you talking about NATIVE Americans or EUROPEAN Americans to Maine? Because the Tribes of the Wabanaki Confederacy still refer to it as "Mount Katahdin."
Thanks for that! I don't think people realise that...it means ALL trailheads...nada, can't do, can't go, don't even think about it. :p
Hi Mike! Are you thru-hiking with anyone? I "had" a fear of heights and started climbing mountains, bouldering, rappelling off rock walls and climbing fire towers. Even with all that, I still don't...
Slo-go'en has a good idea about flying into Washington DC and taking AMTRAK to Harpers Ferry, WV. From there, you will be in MD in a few miles. WV AT mileage is 4 miles. In that way, you won't...
I usually let AT thru-hikers find out for themselves, but all I kept hearing this year are the rocks of PA, so I said in the comments, just you wait until you get up here. You have not seen anything...
I don't think you are crazy at all and good for you for wanting to finish up college! Have you thought about going SOBO, starting in June? In that way, you will be done with class and can concentrate...
