While 30# seems like a lot for the UL hiker (particularly on the AT), I have done several trips in Alaska where I had an UL base weight and then added a Bearikade Expedition and 14 days worth of food...

Thanks, very neat history!
Had a great trip, no problem with the crossings and the trail was in great shape! Does anyone know the back story of the two story stone house near Tate Gap? It looked oddly out of place on the side...
heading out in the morning, I know they did plow the skyway on the TN side so I should be able to get to Mudd Gap. Hopefully the creek crossings wont be too bad.
I am doing another section of the BMT this weekend going from Joe Brown Highway (Unicoi Gap) to Mudd Gap and wanted to see if there was any additional information I would need that isn't in the...
I ended up doing a loop starting at Big Creek and taking the Swallow Fork Trail across Mt Sterling Ridge over into the Cataloochie Valley and back up the Mt Sterling Trail to the summit of Mt...

We had a couple of waist high crossings due...
It looks like we are going back to the original plan as the members of my group wimped out on my 24 mile Saturday. I will probably try and do the Joe Brown Highway to US129 section in May or June and...
If we were to go further north, to Mudd Gap, how are the crossings at Brookshire Branch, Bald River, and Mangan Branch? I know Bald River is decent size at the falls, would this be a bad idea for a...
Thanks for the help!
To get to Buck Bald I assume I take the road (198?) up to the summit?
Glad to know that there is actually parking at Unicoi Gap in case we decide not to do the three mile road walk.
Thanks for...
Yeah, sorry about the poor formatting. It looks like my cut and paste job = fail

I am thinking about continuing my work on BMT sections over New Years weekend and wanted to get some advice. I am thinking about going from US 64/Ocoee (mile 91.4) to Joe Brown Highway (mile...
I love my 2010 Swift.
Uncle Johnny's?
Update: I just checked the most obvious place to find a Mountain Hardwear Micro Dome style hat in blaze orange, Mountain Hardwear themselves and new for Fall of 2010 they have a blaze-ish orange...
I have carried 22 in my older Mariposa Plus with the Carbon Fiber stays with good results. Like DBRIGGS9 said they come with a sitlight pad for the back panel but can be used with just about any pad...
Elder is right, the ATC maps cover the Approach Trail
The Lakeshore Trail and it was by far the flattest trail I have done in the Appalachians. It did have a few small humps on the Fontana end, but nothing major. I will agree with the previous poster...
The Lakeshore Trail is ~30 miles and is flat as a pancake. If you look at it, the AT is pretty flat too compared to many of the other trails in the park. If you want something easier, you can start...
