Soo, what did the Jews in Europe do to provoke Hitler?
I'll wait....
I practically RAN here after work to post this. Glad someone beat me to the punch. I was just talking about how friendly people are every time I come to Damascus. Now I'm not so sure. I have eaten...
Maybe I'll see you out there! Taking some friends to do Carver's Gap-19E the second weekend in Oct.
I agree with the Allen Gap- US 19E section. Add a day and start or end in Hot Springs, or do Fontana-Hot Springs.
There is ONE section on the AT in the Smokies that has a spot where I threw my poles about 2-3' away and used my hands to balance on the way up and over. It was literally a 4 foot section that went...
A thunderstorm while walking along the balds is indeed unsettling to me. I clearly remember scampering off Max Patch a few summers ago upon hearing thunder AND seeing lightning strike a far...
My point EXACTLY! Read your own book.
There was the story of an overtly obnoxious hiker feed at the Overmountain Shelter https://thetrek.co/appalachian-trail/no-one-could-believe-this-amazing-trail-magic/
As a section hiker, I forged many an acquaintance (and a few long lasting friendships) along the trail. Some from other thrus, most from other section hikers. I even get Christmas cards from an...
You want to go on a life changing event? Go overseas on a mission, join the military and defend your country and freedom. Your thru hike IS exactly a vacation. You're not a POW. You're not on some...
And there shouldn't be a prerequisite to obtaining such magic. "Oh, I'm sorry your knee is swollen and your water bladder burst. These ice packs and sodas are only for thru hikers. Perhaps you can...
I have never had this happen to me, but if it ever does I would politely explain to them that their refusing to feed a random hiker (me vs long distance hikers) is in fact discrimination and goes...
Potentially???
I treat every shower that I don't personally clean as a haven for athlete's foot. For camp/shower shoes I bought a cheap pair of knock off Crocs at Dollar General(I call them...
Fontana Dam is within the path of totality. That path is about 60 miles wide. While WSG is in a great place (so is Albert Mountain), there are about 140 miles of the AT that will get the full...
If we are going to reserve shelter space and give priority to "special" and/or "privileged" groups of people, how about we start with ATC members, trail maintainers, and disabled veterans?
I'm...
Wow, just wow.
I want some of what you're smoking.
Having been around a ridgerunner for a few days during my hike in the GSMNP last May, if you are injured or escaping inclement weather, you're not going to be drawn and quartered like you think. Of...
My biggest hurdle is choosing an easily accessible infil and exfil trailhead. Many are anywhere between 3.75 & 6 hours away from where I live, so planning park/start/stop/shuttle points is critical....
12 days at about 10 miles per day will get you from Hot Springs to Roan Mountain. Several bail out points along the way, and some of the best damn hiking you'll find in the south. If you time it...
Can I count on you to donate to my thru hike? GoFundMe info wil lbe sent via PM.
I blog about my section hikes on the AT. Not to take anything away from Rahawa Haile, but if you're interested you can read through my incomplete and not recently updated stories of my own...
Wise words. Many will never realize it. As a black woman that loves traipsing up and down the AT in the South (and been living in the south for 20 years), I have seen my fair share of Confederate...
This is perhaps the saddest but most true statement. You are truly a great owner. Mine is 11 with a heart condition and I don't want to be away from her when that time comes.
Alright, whose...
You're a former Soldier as well so I consider you a bro. My first time on the AT (when I was still active duty) I took a 75L pack with almost 40 pounds of crap in it. For an overnight hike with my...
