I just can’t believe this. It’s beyond foolish or crazy; it’s beyond belief. I agree there’s got to be more to the story. I have done this section in summertime and that was difficult enough.

I remembered a couple of things later. In Feb I met an aspiring thruhiker who had a pacemaker and was most definitely wearing a backpack. If he could do it, there must be a way for those who choose...
I am recently diagnosed as well and currently using a Cpap. Trying to figure out the logistics of bringing it along as I don’t want to be totally without it. I have considered Inspire but do not...
Hi-2New Knees
I just read this thread as I haven’t been on wb for awhile.
My concern is also about dying, not snoring.
My apnea is moderate or severe obstructive depending on which study I...
Thanks. Also thanks for the pictures-they brought back memories, especially the tree tunnel on Roan mtn. Re: new obsession, there ARE more trails. Pct, cdt, north country etc. My current obsession is...
PS-I too finished the Trail in sections last year over a period of 22 years. Initially I was just doing sections that especially interested me or hikes I got invited on but around 2009 decided to do...
Congratulations to you both and to all who finished as section or thruhikers this year. Keep hiking.
I just saw this last post. I did in fact order from the Chinese restaurant. They quoted me a minimum of 20.00 which I used for 2 meals. The delivery was prompt and accurate. If I remember right there...
No, I wasn’t the one with the dog. That was another poster
I may be up that way next week or so; does anyone know if the spring is flowing now?
Yeah,sigh; I live in Miami and haven’t seen snow or even cold temps in a few years and miss it.
I was hoping to spend maybe a week somewhere in nc or tn area. Maybe Feb will bring a change
Is there any snow accumulation anywhere south of New England?
I’m so glad to see this discussed. I too have suffered from an anxiety disorder since my teens and had to seek professional help. This is definitely a case of “hike your own hike” in that different...
Anyone stay at Wildcat Shelter recently? NY is so dry right now I wonder if the stream is running.
Thanks-I did go on to Graymoor
Anybody stay here recently? It’s just north of the Hudson, past Anthony’s. Nose. Is the spring running?
Just stayed here at the end of last month. The place is clean, reasonably priced (50$ per night), has comfortable double beds and a hot shower. Cable TV and you can order for delivery from either...
Nothing wrong with hiking a section again, but I should mention that I'm flying in and out of Stewart Newburgh Airport, not NYC. Also a good point about where to end a hike. I had intended to finish...
Thanks for the info; its kind of what I suspected. I've decided to start from the other end (17A) and go to 301, then find somebody to pick me up. If I had started from 301, I wanted to be in town so...
Is anyone aware of a motel in Cold Springs NY other than the Countryside Motel which is 4-5 miles north of town? I know about the Pig Hill Inn, which is actually a B&B, but the prices are pretty...
Just curious-Is anyone planning to be out doing this section starting next Wed. Jun 27? Its always interesting to meet other whiteblazers.
I forgot to add that I also located daily bailout points just in case. Not that I needed them, but knowing they were there broke the hikes down into smaller chunks that eased my concerns. I also had...
While I did not have bypass surgery, I did have surgery March 20 of 2017 to replace a ruptured mitral valve. Since then (medically cleared) I have taken two section hikes, successfully, and am about...
Thanks and enjoy your first AT experience.
Thanks, Carl. I"m glad I did it this way-I've had 20 years to enjoy the trail, and will continue after I"m done to revisit areas I especially liked. I've also been able to see the changes occurring...
