Rainman,
Unless something unforeseen comes up, I'll be there. For the hike, dinner, and any & ALL entertainment.

If federal monies are used to build a "structure" (privy) then it must meet ADA requirements (handicapped accessible), which is the reason for the extraordinary privy at Thomas Knob Shelter.

Being "old" is a sign of many things... strength, courage, determination, health all mixed in with good luck.

Wear that Old Fart badge with pride and dignity!!!

Congratulations, Symbol! I'm glad you found a like minded guy to hike with.

It's great to hear you're planning a thru hike! Hope you can find a partner for this adventrue. You know, if you can't find someone who can commit to hiking the entire trail, maybe you can find a...

That's true, February will be here before you know it!

Fall is a busy time. The weather is TOO nice to stay at home. You've got a great hike planned, Rain Man.

For the hike, meal and presentation! I like the idea of the high route too!

Where and when are we meeting?

I took a Lunar Solo on my recent AT trip and used it on the tent platform at the Shaker Campsite in MASS. The eyelets were broken off the side and I wondered how the heck I was going to get it up. My...

Does anyone know if he ever walks on the trail? I saw a guy dressed in sweats at Angel's Rest the last of March that "at least resembled him" and didn't "look like a hiker". I moved on pretty...

I just finished hiking the section from Atkins/Groseclose to Pearisburg. We left a vehicle (mine) at Bland at the parking area on Hwy 52. It was left there for 3 days due to sleet and freezing rain...

It looks like I might be able to make this trip. Hope there's a good turn out.

Yeah, it bypasses Three Ridges. From what I understand it used to be the AT and went past a very pretty waterfall. I'll admit it was tempting standing at that junction seeing the difference in...
