I hit the Dutch Haus too early to stay for a night, but I did hike down and eat lunch with them. Very nice place. There were a few other hostels I would have liked to stay at, but they were to close...

Not paying is no more wrong than paying is right.

Wrong. Saying I don't have to pay is LEGALLY correct. Social terms say I "should" pay.

I see no entitlement in that comment at all. I paid what I thought was fair. Not what I felt I was entitled to. Do you expect me to pay extra because other people do not pay their share?? Seriously,...

O yeah. I understood the reasoning for pressuring into paying, but I view it similarly to tipping at restaurants where I should never feel pressured about what I pay. I did pay mostly suggested...

Ugh. I figured someone would comment on that. I should have left it out.

Hi, I am a thru hiker this year and my original ride to damascus for trail days did not work out. If anyone is in the area of waynesboro, VA and can give me a ride to damascus for trail days it would...

Interesting, haven't heard of that. I was considering doing this, but I will have to look into polycro further.

Awesome! My dreams are still set on starting 3/22, but a potential job offer and bum knee may put me off the trail till another time :(. If all goes well though, see you on the trail!

I'm also curious to see how the new cuben does long term. He (Joe) made comments on his website that the lighter cuben would last 1 full trek with fair amounts of repair, so I am hopping the new...
