I'll be thru hiking this year (march 19th start) and will be journaling and taking pics. My solution for the whole iPhone/point and shoot camera thing lies in this nifty SD card called an Eye-Fi...
I used trailjournals.com back in 07, but decided to switch to the Postholer.com website. They seem to be very user friendly with email updates including photo attachments. Ditto on the OP for saying...

Vernon is probably your best bet for a reliable resupply in NJ. There is an A&P. Lots of food options also.I recommend the Mixing Bowl!! I haven't been to Uniondale so I can't speak to the resupply...

I'm that lazy that even the steri pen is too much work sometimes...hehe. I understand the risk's I'm taking though.
I carried a steripen the whole way in 2007 and still use it. Plan on taking in on my next thru in 2012 as well. I really only use it for questionable sources...usually drink untreated if it's coming...

I thru hiked with 2 pair of Hardrocks and 2 pair of Salomon Puntera's. Post hike they supposedly started making the hardrocks oversees and the quality went waaaay down. I now pretty much only hike in...
If your sleeping in the hammock you'll need some type of under insulation if it is going to be under 65-70. That should keep the mosquitoes at bay. I have had a few horrendous mosquito nights in the...
Hey...For sure I remember you guys. Good to hear from ya!
That would indeed be me. =) A lot of people thought my trail name was Ungus in stead of Hungus. I guess sometimes the trees and...
I'll most likely be on the 2012 bandwagon...Probably gonna start March 24th. I said during my 2007 thru hike that I would hike this trail (at least) every 5 years. So far all of the stars and planets...
