Just booked for the 12th. On the trail the 13th. Getting close.

Do you prefer a hood or a jacket without a hood? (Mid March / NOBO from Springer)

I'm hoping I don't have temperatures that cold. That is cold.

Oh..... and any tips at resupplying toilet paper would be appreciated :)

Almost showtime. One week away.

I'll keep you posted. I over did the hiking, workouts, in addition to the softball injury. Hopefully I'll figure it out by March. Should have an appt with a specialist within a few days but this...

Yeah.... this was a stupid softball injury on wet grass back in July. Just my luck. Hopefully I can get it taken care of. I did go to USC, graduated in 1996. Took the long route after the...

Dr. will refer me to a specialist. Anybody dealt with this before and can share what treatment you received? I'm four months out from my 2013 thru attempt. Can this be resolved in time? Thanks.

I had to stop wearing my blue Superfeet insoles because my feet felt like they were bruised also. I recently bought some Keen boots because I found them cheap. I bought a thin blue gel insole,...

How many times did you have to setup your tent in the rain?

....do they put more stress on your achilles. Never owned a pair of boots. I know boots give you more total support for they foot but do they workout your achilles more than the freedom trail...

Will do ATMountainTime. Hope you get things worked out for a 2013 thru.

You wake up, get hyped on coffee
You read WhiteBlaze to see who's complaining about what
You wonder why some are always complaining
You read about that one tidbit that might...

Anybody going to be at the ALDHA Gathering in Oct, let me know. I'll be there. Driving down from Canada.

In the early 80's, my only AT experience, we hiked in the GSMNP and stopped to take a break on the trail. We got the usual speech from the Ranger before we left about making noise and the bears will...

Thx for the comments everyone
I may take you up on the HikerMomKD. Seems like a trail friendly section for sure.
