I know all is fine guys just a joke, and only illabelle answered the question ;) And yes it was set in Ohio, but the couple that drives around picking up hitchhikers would drive down south to Georgia...

So I just read a novel titled "The Devil All the Time" which was about very bizarre and strange people living in Appalachia and it dawned on me there is a whole subsection of novels and movies about...

Seems that hiking the Presidentials one can fall into a large expense with the huts or be very inconvienenced camping outside. What is the approach for this section ?

Im brining a prescription of doxycycline with my for the ticks, if I get bit and find the rash you can take two pills and nip it before it starts. Then you don't have to get off the trail and find a...

I see a lot of people talking about pack weight and stressing about it all.

I dont know what my pack weighs, I have most of my essential gear, nothing extra, real bare bones with the essentials....

I will be joining you with hair too long to take on the trail

YEs I think the supplemental idea is good. Buy up in bulk the expensive and hard to find stuff, which is essentially nuts and dehydrated veggies, and buy everything else as I go. Maybe pack 3 or 4...

Now I won't be able to gear up super expensive, does anyone else hike army navy store style and splurge on a few items?

Does anyone in the 2015 class want to meet up and hike the presidentials or the bonds in the White Mountains in September?
