Starting in Monson on Sept. 5th and heading south for about 2 months...whose gonna be out there around then?

Turn it inside out...shake it out...then I use a bandanna for those hard to reach corners.

I use a jetboil. I dump in my ramen/lipton, bring it to a boil, turn it off and put the lid on it and let it finish cooking on its own. It takes a little longer this way, but I am able to...

You can search by denomination and state to find contact info.

It's what I used to see if I could find a church of my denomination in trail towns so I could attend as I was...

Thanks, I'll see what I can find!

What exactly is contra dancing?

I'll take the cold over the heat any day...you can always put on more clothes or keep hiking to stay warm...if you are hot, there is only so much you can take off without breaking any laws. Well,...

Weary, Lone Wolf - Sorry to hear about that...it seems that it all comes down to whether or not you will benefit their bottom line, not if it is the right thing to do.

I don't mind if they won't bend the rules or make an exception for me, but if they are going to do that, then they have to be consistent, and you don't bend the rules for ANYONE!

I'm sorry to hear that. It was a great place! I was there at the beginning of April, just after a big snowstorm we got caugh in between Hot Springs and there. I was just south of Bland when the...

You are an increasing rarity these days. Too bad more people aren't like that. People need to man (or woman, mind you) up and take responsibility for themselves! Ok, I'm off my soapbox now! :D

Please forgive me if this is already common knowledge, but why can't she use her other house for a hostel any more? I stayed with her in 2005 and I really enjoyed it, it was one of my favorite places...

Any section where a town with food and laundry is exactly 30 miles away! :D

I used Aqua Mira drops through the entire 100 mile wilderness without any types of problems. Although, I did wish I had a pump for when I needed to get water from the lakes....other than that, it...

Thanks, I assumed that it would be smooth sailing in terms of crowds after labor day, but I will keep that in mind!

Unless you like your water bottles freezing, March 1st is a great date! I would definitely start later though! :D

I've always kept relatively low expectations (note: NOT low standards! haha) for everything...I'm generally more happy. It's nice to be suprised by things that I may have "taken for granted" if they...

It's better than the alternative...

That's what I use...I am a large guy... 6'0'' and 265...I always say that the Wal-mart brand works just as well as UnderArmor - makes me look just as unflattering for a fraction of the cost! :D

What can I expect when I hit the Whites towards the middle/end of the month in terms of hut closures, crowds, etc? In regards to the weather, I know to prepare for the worst (and hope for the best)!

Williamstown, Mass...then more than likely jumping down to Hot Springs and walking to Springer.

True, I have gotten sunburned one day and then the next day froze!

SouthMark, I am starting in Monson on September 5th and heading south to finish up my 2005 thru. I'm not sure, but according to the weather website, the average high for Monson is 67 and low is 42. ...

I'd much rather save that money for a post-hike meal or three! :D

Definitely. Pay for what services you have used, and then don't patronize them in the future if you feel that strongly about the situation.
