Btw, this brings you by the ice cream challenge and at museum area, iron master hostel, the at halfway point, and camp michaux areas - one of the nicer areas on the pa at.

If you want longer start north of James fry and head there first.

Pine grove furnace to toms run (southbound) and the loop back by way of sunset rocks (blue trail just south of toms run). You can park at pine grove and there is water along the trail and at toms...

Just to add, I’m a section hiker so I always get to plan for weather in a way that a through hiker can’t. I use a hammock because it is almost always easier to find two trees over flat ground and it...

Also if you can afford it, as it gets warmer you could switch to a 40 degree quilt and get a pair of zip off pants over the other items you have. For some parts of the trail an extra water bladder...

That’s a pretty good list. Fwiw, if you’re bringing a phone, you probably don’t need the paper at guide - if you pack doesn’t absorb water, the pack cover is sort of a pain and your using trash...

Correct, you’re now north of the smokies. Next permit area is the Shenandoah.

I did most of the Shenandoah in the winter - strong winds and long days to get to the crossings that weren’t closed by storm damage- watch the weather and plan accordingly

Tri corner…

I was at tri knob 3 days ago- lots of hammock options and very little flat ground.49398

If I were coming from Maine, I’d start at Delaware water gap as it’s closer and relatively nice. I think wind gap is close to 19 miles which gives you a motel option if you want it.

You will be plenty warm without them. Bring a light rain layer and wear that too if you get chilled. Start early each day and take advantage of water spots to fill up.

I know it’s not a 2 week section, necessarily, but from Mannasses Gap, VA to Duncannon, PA is relatively mild and has many roads and towns (and cell coverage) - you would also knock out 2 states. I...

For what it’s worth, here’s one I looked at in the past: Onset HOBO MX2201 Waterproof Bluetooth Pendant Temperature Data Logger. Sort of pricey.

Does any one have an opinion about the kestrel drop vs the Onset HOBO for logging temperature. I’m interested in a devices like these for low temperatures below freezing.

Take the AT south from pine grove furnace to toms run shelter; spend the night; return on the blue trail across sunset rocks (just south of toms run). Blue trail returns you to the AT; head north...

Exactly! Hammocked right next to those tracks and kept waiting for the derailment :-( through the night

Rbh designs is awesome. Socks are a good way to start to see how you like it (would not recommend Stephenson warm lite over Rbh). I've been on many trips in the winter where I was the only warm...

I have the revolution 1p, super tent. Very airy and roomy, and light enough. I like the poles on the outside as it's easy to put up and makes it easy to tuck the vestibule doors up for extra...

I really like vapor barrier clothing and socks. Rbh designs makes terrific calf-high socks that are very comfortable. Have used them for winter hiking and camping. Much nicer than sleeping with...

2 weeks ago - great water!
