I got the Optimus clip on windscreen, too. With my Pocket Rocket, at least one leg will touch the windscreen when folded out. I'm not sure if that's a bad, good, or neutral factor in terms of heat...

I've been checking the GA state parks website pretty much daily and saw this event listed on their calendar today for the first time.

The privy was closed during my stops there for lunch on a couple of day hikes this fall. There is also signage there to that effect.

For a third perspective on barbell squats, which I feel is the most objective one, I encourage interested parties to google "Starting Strength". Besides squat depth, a critical question asked and...

Thank you. You're the second to point out mailboxes as a landmark so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Thanks. On the Appalachian Impressions video (which must be over 10 years old now), it always struck me how that scoutmaster talked about going up to Tray Gap every year with his troop to do trail...

Thanks. Does Indian Grave Gap Road connect to another main road at its other end?

I may be answering my own question. I drove to its intersection with Route 75, about 2 miles trail west of Unicoi Gap.

Just a tenth of a mile in in Indian Grave Gap Road, a pretty full stream...

I was hoping to drive to Tray Gap to start my next day hike. My car is NOT 4 wheel drive or high ground clearance. I've driven it (slowly) on other FS roads, like 42.

I honestly have never seen...

Did he also have a bear canister and a pop-up "privacy tent"?

When I go with shorts over my base layer, it's usually been the shorts from my convertible pants. But for those of you that use athletic shorts over your base layer, do you use shorts with or...

I day hiked out and back between Unicoi Gap and Chattahoochee Gap. Spoke to one person that said they were thru-hiking when I asked. Felt bad; might could have offered him a ride into town. Wasn't...

Thanks for the suggestion. My goal this fall has been to day hike the GA AT (and the approach trail) in a series of out-and-backs where I can get to trail heads in my own car. So, the Jack's trail...

Thanks. At the intersection with the AT at Chattahoochee Gap, one of the signs used the blank side of an old "Plumorchard Gap Shelter" sign. Good thing that's on a gentle stretch; tired hikers...

Great tip. Thanks. The more I hike other trails besides the AT, the more I enjoy the contrast and change of pace.

Indeed.

I was hoping someone could confirm my understanding of this trailhead, which is:

The trailhead closest to the intersection of the Jack's Knob Trail and the AT is at the intersection of GA 180 and...

I've sampled some and found some components that are diamonds in the rough and not heavy, for example, chocolate peanut butter and pound cake. But the entrees...I consistently hear veterans talk...

At least they didn't say NeelS Gap.

I went through Cooper Gap yesterday a couple times on an out and back from Hightower to Gooch shelter. I noted the water jugs, too. Not sure if they were the same jugs you saw, or if the trail...

I believe they even sell liners at the Amicalola Falls State Park visitor center.

I was surprised to see them on the wall there yesterday. Hopefully I wasn't delirious and didn't just imagine it,...

I'd like to hear others weigh in, but when pitching DURING rain, I think a tent style that let's you pitch the fly first, then pitch the canopy (under the fly) may help you get sheltered sooner, and...

Yeah, the crowd from the theatre I was at were laughing at the somewhat corny jokes, that carried none of the witty delivery (that had me laughing out loud) I imagined from reading the book a couple...

Understood. I meant a skirt extending down just far enough to offer some wind coverage for the burner, without going down to the canister.
