Ozark Highlands Trail, BMT (may or may not happen based on new job), NCT from MN/WI border to Marquette, and PCT in Northern California.
I’m in full agreement that there is a huge focus on extending this trail while existing trail *really* needs a lot of love. Some very necessary larger bridges were out (plus one I remember being...
Hi all. I’m thru hiking the Pinhoti and heading over to the BMT to finish up in Reliance. My flight is out of Chattanooga. I’ve looked at the BMT site for shuttlers and everyone seems focused...
Hello! I just finished up with the 317 miles between Cascade Locks and Stevens Pass and thought I’d mention something that came up OVER and OVER and OVER concerning timing in Washington. PCT Days...
I added notes. I’m worried about the general info, though, that most people look at, including symbols that appear on the map (like the red warning one). The comments that may be buried and the...
It needs some work still and I’m wondering if every Guthook started off in a bit of rough shape. I think it could use the help or input if someone familiar with using Guthooks. More clarification...
What are “these”?
Sorry, bit of an older thread, but I really have to throw something in that wasn’t mentioned...
YES, YES, YES! PLEASE OPEN A HOSTEL...but not on the AT.
I love the AT (otherwise I wouldn’t be...
Oof. That is no joke. The first people I talked to on my thru was a couple at Hightower Gap (mile 8.3). They asked to use my phone because they had no signal and were trying to get a ride out. ...
I know things are weird right now with covid, but hitching really is easy on the trail. The locals are used to seeing hikers and there are sometimes people at trailheads who are really kind. I...
Scotland is very high on the to-do list. West Highland Way, Islay scotch, a side trip up Ben Nevis, Great Glen Way, small hikes in the Cairngorms, Islay scotch, explore some castles and cities, and...
If anyone looks into a pair you genuinely can find them for $15-25. The running shoe companies are always coming out with new and “better” (so they think, they usually screw up a really good shoe)...
I really loved it. I used to be competitive in 24 hour races and the track ones were my fav. The surface is fast and forgiving and there is an aid station every 400 meters. People think it will be...
I love that everyone can learn something new everyday. I just kept the spikes out when I didn’t need them (I only ran xc informally as an adult at opens).
I never ran track (although I have run...
I’m a woman and go all over the world by myself, usually to developing countries. Some places are more challenging than others, but that is part of the joy. I know there is tourist infrastructure...
Odd Man Out, I’ve hiked around Nepal and the Gokyo Lakes were the best part of the Everest Base Camp circuit. And the Annapurna Circuit was better than EBC. For some reason, Europeans are familiar...
That makes me happy. I hope they work out.
Now I feel bad, I considered sharing this year’s ago but I assumed everyone would just shrug their shoulders and go on with their crocs.
Pardon if this has been mentioned, but one of the biggest differences that I saw in the age of covid (which may also apply to 2021) is that non-USPS places that normally hold mail drops have decided...
I really wish I did Creede instead of Lake City and I met a lot of people that felt the same or were really happy with their choice of Creede. I read up and thought it would be tough to hitch into...
This just led to a flashback of my scariest tree experience. I left Kent, Connecticut where I was sneered at by grown men in polo shirts with popped collars (ha!), hiked in 105+ degree heat index in...
I’m going to go back to what Rob and lone said about areas of above average to massive tree death due to some infestation or disease or other. The Colorado Trail has days straight of rare spottings...
I’m bumping an old thread, but since I found what works for me and it hasn’t been mentioned yet...
On my hikes, and five times on my 2016 AT thru, I sent myself packages not of actual meals, but...
Hamburger helper! I love it on the trail.
There are lots of long distance trails besides the AT (or the big 3). This may be the perfect year to explore them. I’m a bartender who has been out of work since March so I used the summer and...
