Back in the day before LED headlamps, every shelter was stocked with at least several wine bottle "candle holders." A must when hiking in the fall.

MST has always been in the back of my head....Kinda like the Florida Trail...Not time for those right now but im sure ill get around to them in my...

Downhill - Heat during the Day? Cold at night? Did it rain on you?

CdT shuttle reserved last night!

Beware - Bull to Porters is dry most of the way. Could maybe leave water in caches along the road but no idea if that "road" is driveable. Wouldn't...

Dan road walkin in the rain is my favorite time to do road walking!

I have only used it in shelters when I was alone.

The last time I was in the Frog was April 2019---so it's about time I revisit the Amphibian---and plan to pull all the trails---Licklog, Big Frog,...

Looking forward to some Frog action, seems like it’s been a while.

I use SuperFeet. Be sure to make sure you buy the correct color for "your feet".

I am a sleeping bag person. I used a Western Mountaineering HighLite 35*.

The NE mountains can be fickle anytime, but especially late Spring. I usually carry 30° top and bottom quilts that time of year to be sure. Better...

I was happy with the Altra's on the CDT- all 5 pairs. I also need extra cushion and used Superfeet inserts. It makes a difference in comfort. I plan...
