I cannot recommend camping at Horse Gap. There is room for just about two tents on a little level spot by the fire ring there. Otherwise, you'll be pitching on uneven ground. Devil's Kitchen, just up...

Probably need to throttle back on the hand washing...:D

It sure as heck won''t be the AT, I can tell you that. Planning on the Foothills Trail.

The USFS has opened all the trailhead parking areas that serve the AT in North Georgia.

Lots of great advice here. Paying cash for stuff is a Dave Ramsey approach that works. I will add that whenever you avoid spending money on a beverage at a restaurant (or some other realized...

It really doesn't matter who put it out there. It's litter. If you want to remove it, go ahead. The odds that whomever put it out there coming back to retrieve it are quite low.

Thanks for sharing guys. I have enjoyed reading this thread and the memories that your dads put in writing. Very cool stuff.

I wound up with a pair of Altra Timp 1.5s that I got direct from Altra on sale for about half price. They came yesterday and they fit great. I think I'm going to like these. Trying them out next...

Guys, I really appreciate all the good reports. Thanks much for your replies.

I am tough to fit as far as footwear in concerned. I have long and very narrow feet. In street shoes, I'm a 13-A if I can get it.

Are there any hiking boots or shoes that you could recommend to a...

FS 42, the gravel road into the Springer Mountain Parking area, was in excellent condition on 11/30/19. It has been maintained well throughout the hunting season this year. I expect it will be fine...

The older I get, the longer simple stuff takes to heal. Who am I kidding? The longer any stuff takes to heal.

I am not diabetic, but I do have to watch my diet to keep from becoming diabetic.

I can only speak for GA, which is the state I live in. In Georgia, it is unlawful to shoot from or across a public road. It is also unlawful to discharge a firearm within 50 yards of a public road. I...

I get what you're saying. But, hearing the shots from the road doesn't mean that the shooters were hunting/shooting from the road. I do understand that not all hunters abide by the law.

I see this photo and arrive at a somewhat different conclusion. What I see are bear hunters waiting for their dogs to tree or bay a bear, at which point they will pitch off the road and walk to where...

Bear hunting with hounds became legal in GA beginning this season on two WMAs that are very close to or actually border the AT. These were quota hunts with a small number of hunters allowed. It'll...
