Hey Sea Eagle snow should not be as keep as we saw the week before Christmas would you want me to call up Rambunny and see what I can find out?
Good question... I have never been inclined to consume alcohol either but I do have friends who do..... I would say that alcohol, hikers, and the trail have provided for some interesting youtube...
That would be very damaging to Lone Wolf that's for sure!~

My personal favorite is Jangles.... you can find her trail journal on www.trailjournals.com
I agree with Solemates on this one.... I just got done doing this trail at the end of September and it was beautiful.... I started at Burrell's Ford and ended at the Highway 28 bridge.
I just got done doing a 74 mile section hike from 19E to Damascus, VA. this past week and ran into alot of Sobos making their way to Springer. Most of the ones we ran into were in good spirits and...
Thank God....
Sigh.... here we go again....
