    I'm interested to see your specific references to Federal statutes and regulations indicative of such "rigging" favoring corporations, particularly as relates to broad categories of industries, as...
  2. No fake news, just common sense

    There it is. Fake news. Quoting from the propaganda feed of the other side.

    Sure I am. Only I don't believe the drivel written and published about the Koch brothers nor that about any other individuals or industries which have become unpopular. I choose to do my own...
  5. The USFS is doing what the law requires them to do

    It's going to get built, but not because of some shadowy policies or regulations demanded by "Big Oil". "Big Oil" only in the minds of those with little understanding of free market capitalism. For...

  7. Nantahala, Hot Springs and Erwin for a 12-13 year-old

    I've had the pleasure of rafting the Nantahala from the lake outlet to the NOC HQ once, the French Broad from Barnard to Hot Springs once, and have rafted the Nolichucky from the normal put-in at...
  8. Some ideas

    As far as easy and proximal RV campground (CG) access to the AT, Hot Springs, NC, Erwin, TN, Damascus, VA and Wytheville, VA come to mind. The AT passes directly by the riverside CF for the Hot...

    Those log trucks in the North Woods of Maine!

    What we should remember about the North Woods timberlands management consortium is that the roads are built and maintained at their sole expense, so we're out there in "their office". The log truck...

    Double Thru by Seeks It

    PJ's journals were fun to follow. His method of "out and back" of course meant he'd through-hiked the entire AT twice in a single year. He started on New Year's Day in a somewhat (at the time)...

    Additional geekdom

    Gladstone, MI! I used to do diamond exploration up that way back in the early 1980s! Spent a lot of time all around the Michigamme Reservoir.

    Feral hogs/boar

    Most likely this guy was hunting feral hogs. It is often done with large caliber handguns for the reason cited (brushy areas restricting the shooter's movement/aim). I'd further speculate he had...
  15. The visit by Sandy

    Superstorm Sandy visited the Southern Appalachians in the last few days of October 2012. It brought snow measured in feet, hurricane force winds, and stranded many unprepared hikers from Mount Rogers...
  16. Visitation and support from campgrounds near the AT

    I agree with the suggestions about purchasing an RV, only what I'd look into is a small, lightweight popup or other camper trailer. If you happen to already have a suitable tow vehicle such as a...
