There is a section of the AT closed south of Culver's Gap; close to rt 80 due to a forest fire. So...make sure your dayhike is northbound. I usually hit the Culver's Gap to Sunrise Pavillion...

Maria is a wonderful individual. I was at her lovely home last night and today awaiting a ride home for a break; she treated me as well as my late grandmother's would have. When I saw her, at...

Other than rest from a messed up left leg I'm ready to go; but as others say, "alot of the time they wimp out the last minute." Hiking partners, and trust, is hard to find. I have to leave solo...

you can find some sweet deals on sierratradingpost too; usually last years models. good luck with the pack, love mine and leaving in two days. I don't go over 35pds due to some creature comforts...

what part of the trail and where? I'll be leaving by Saturday for Dennytown road crossing in NY and going NOBO; been off the trail due to a leg injury.

I cut weight too by ditching the stove, fuel, and big pot. Going with tuna salad in the pouch; good stuff, rip it open and eat. I love my Osprey pack.

I was at Campmor two days ago and three weeks prior to that to get an Osprey pack. I was hell bent on an Osprey (used to Lowe Alpine Contour packs) and when I got to Campmor the guy pretty much...

Keep a close eye on the blazes going thru the Bear Mt. area. I had a bad fall last week (hitting the trail NOBO again by Friday) and ended up on the trail of 1777 (a nine mile loop off the trail!). ...

whooot! nice.

I, myself, planned ahead and understand my foot spread after long distances. Others may not understand this and can easily hook up with another pair of boots, if they are good for them, while on the...

congrats!!!

I'm above ya in the Dingman's Ferry area (wood bridge across the DWG). Make sure you don't tube near any factories.

thanks for the info, looking forward to leaving

Trail runners are not boots. I knew of a few that expected their trail runners (any brand) to wear out quickly and set their standards ahead of time by having a lot of extra pairs to be mail...

I have two pair of Montrail Torre GTX's. Back in 2000 I went only with Vasque. Now I was looking more lightweight and after research and trying other brands (such as Danner) I decided on the...

Is there anybody out there?

I'll be standing at the entrance of Harriman State Park on the 28th and going NOBO; been a long time coming. Anyone want to join let me know. See you all out there, I hike sloooow (10 a day or so)....

Years ago I had to leave the trail afte 1200 miles; yeah. My feet hurt with every step and the swelling was horrid. I took the year off and then couldn't get the time off to do the trail. Ten...

Now to get myself to start alone in two weeks; all packed up.

Oh, and the new green color of the Osprey Atmos isn't as putrid (in person) as the older model color green apple or whatever that color was.

Just packed up my Osprey Atmos 65 and think I could actually have gone with an Atmos 50; but the extra room is always nice. Got my pack weight, minus full water of two nalgenes and about a pound of...

Leaving between June 24 and July 4 for the trail. My plans are flexible; either north from NY or south from special K. Anyone interested would be great, feel free to contact me in the private...

After viewing a seemingly obscure link here on WB I ventured to the sight and found help. Peace Pilgrim (peacepilgrim.com) has an excellent sight about inner peace and fears. I read the whole site,...

I can honestly say this post hits home. Jayhawker, I've recently been put on Celexa (40mg, which is average for now); I self diagnosed and backed it up with my doctor that I too have suffered from...

I can vouch for deleting PenMar, I had a drop at the P.O. there years ago and luckily was given a ride there and back to the park. Planning mail drops more than after the first two is kinda a waste....
