Did your sister join you as a hospitalera in Santo Domingo? I think I may have met you both when I checked into the hostel. :) I was the one trying to get you to make the AT happen and showing off...

just try it yourself at home and see if you can tolerate it.

I've tried both almond and peppermint and can't stand either as a toothpaste substitute. I carry regular toothpast, but then again,...

yep, the bench is perfectly positioned at the top of the hill, just a tad south of the extremely short "trail" leading to the monument

Well, ****, Lugnut... if we're not talking about shelters with a view, why the heck are we in the thread called "shelters with a view'? Where's the shelters near a view (also called shelters located...

Rain Man - Are you sure about Vanderventer? As I remember it, that shelter is dark and faces away from the view (over the rocks and out over the valley), and instead just faces the typical...

Yes, the hiking community is interesting and diverse when it comes to those things and occupations and such but there are also some interesting trends that pop up.

I followed the advice of Spirit Walker and many other women about not camping near roads, moving on from a shelter when there's a guy that gives you the creeps, etc. and truly felt like I...

In PA this year, 4 of us hiked up to Bake Oven Knob where 4 mid-teens were hanging out. They started asking questions and after explaining that we were hiking the AT and had been walking the trail...

This is awesome news! Way to go, Kayak Karl! You're going SOBO from Katahdin on Aug 10th? I'll definitely cross paths with you out there... maybe around NH or VT? That's so cool.

Safe...

A spoon, yes. But no bowl, pot or cup. I could certainly bum use of one for a feed, though. :-)

Just spotted heading to Cowboy's for breakfast. Have a great birthday TOW!

Do women tend to like this style pack as well as men? Or does the obvious difference between the shape of the average man and the shape of the average woman make the pack less appealing to women? ...

Gypsy - I'm thinking of how hard this must be for you to see your strong partner recovering from such a scary surgery. I hope you can feel how much we are all pulling for you both.

Take good care of yourselves,

Dude's congratulating me on my thru (I haven't yet) and claiming he hiked in 2007. He wants to make a video of all my pictures that will make me cry. :cool:

More importantly, putting the lid down prevents the household pets and small children from playing in the toilet water. :eek: Gross but true!

As a solo female hiker, I sometimes do the same but from a farther distance back. I prefer the group ahead of me not know I'm there for my own safety and I won't pass until I've sized them up and...

I don't get why you seem so worked up about people offering their homes to two particular hikers when "trail angels" do it all the time. The most important thing we know about...
