This is a link to a post I put together about the Georgia section a couple of years ago, I think it is still relevent:...
My experience has been the same as yours when I have used a sleeping bag as a quilt and it works that way in a hammock as well. A hammock does tend to wrap around you but you still have to try to...
Thanks for catching that. The way they have it set up these days I can't edit the original post, so I'm not sure what to do with your corrections.
DWM was making a funny, you know how those jugglers are. But if you look at the photo again ( http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/vbg/showimage.php?i=6621&c=665&userid=41 ) you will see he understood...
Hopefully the perfect hammock is the one you're using. If it's not, you may never find it because there likely will be someone trying to convince you what you have is not as good as what they have...
Same here, but it was two copies for me... wanted the home folks to have the same info I did if something came up-- towns, phone numbers, post offices, etc.
After looking at all this again, it dawned on me that the photo sequence I posted shows that Yonah Mountain is watching over you on your nobo journey along the Georgia section of the AT from the...
Thanks, where is The West Family Restaurant? Is it closer than Ingles Supermarket in Cleveland?

If you have a favorite photo from there and post it on WhiteBlaze I can edit the 1st post in...
You went right by it. From the Whitley Gap Intersection, it is on the left of the trail and to the right of the trail I recall a little camp spot or fire ring. Like I said you have to carefully...
TrailLover,
I can't help you with that, haven't done any peak bagging or bushwacking.
I did get a photo of the 4 mountains from Wildcat,...
Rob said earlier he was using a Clark Hammock, I don't think he said which model but I assume it was the one with the six outside pockets and that he is getting a good portion of his insulation from...
I saw this marker in August of 2002 about 10 feet off the peak of Tray Mountain in Georgia. Wasn't there the next time I looked for it and don't recall it being there on previous visits. Anyone...
I think folks making square tarps with the diagonal on the ridgeline are making them less than 8 feet on the sides, in large part because silnylon is about 65" wide on the roll, including the...
What's the proper way to say that? I used to say I finished a knot with a 'quick release' to describe that loop and lately I've been saying I tied a 'slippery' bowline, tautline, etc to describe...
Check this link: http://www.whiteblaze.net/forum/article.php?p=99057&postcount=1 .
The tautline hitch is #7. You can use more than two wraps before you finish it off with the half-hitch if you...
How hard is it to get a baby to give up their pins... do you have to offer them candy?
Jeff, you are showing your age with the diaper pins. I think diapers come with attached tape for fastening...
Interesting article in this mornings Atlanta paper about wild pigs in Georgia. The article talks mostly about south Georgia but they are evident along the trails in north Georgia and points north of...
Alright, I did the Blood Mountain loop yesterday and my knee did okay. Started feeling a little dull pain on the outside of my knee on the last downhill section going to the parking lot but it...
You almost have it right. From Hawk Mtn you go down to Hightower Gap and cross USFS 42/69. Hike over an un-named mountain and then to Horse Gap/USFS 42. Then its over Sassafras Mtn followed by...
Solemates,
Sounds like a case of 'somebody has to be the victim'. That is what I figure was the case with my truck. Was the same timeframe as yours but was at Unicoi Gap. Two tires slashed on...
Last year when I hiked that section nobo between Springer and Woody Gap, I met Baltimore Jack and Mountain Dew... both a little weary from a little sunburn but in great spirits. It was great to meet...
Sorry to hear about that, I've only had one case of my vehicle being vandalized over the years. Could you give more details? Like how recently, what did they do and do you have any idea as to why?
Are any pilgrims planning on using the newly opened Western Passage (Benton MacKaye Trail) as part of a long distance hike this year along the southern Appalachians? For those of you not familiar,...
They make little mouse sleeping bags filled with TP.
Yeah, there was close to a dozen hammockers there to talk gear with.
greatfulyankee cooked it on a two-burner stove on the table in front of the shelter. Brought everything needed, paper plates,...
