It was nice to meet you at the Madison Hut in July. I hope the remainder of your hike went well.

I just completed the TRT ... Sep 2-15. My pace was obviously more leisurely than Mag's. I'd be...

This link provides the full report of the U.S. Army's "Performance and Health Risk Assessment of COTS Individual Water Purifiers." Other links posted on WB point only to a summary. The full report...

The NPS did not remove the pay phones. The pay phone service providers removed them because they were not profitable.

For what it's worth, a few photos from my hike are here.

That should be Bubbs Creek Trail.

Another option, perhaps more ambitious, is to hike parts of Kings Canyon. You can fly to Vegas, drive across Death Valley to Onion Valley Campground (just west of Independence, CA) on the day you...

I'm currently seeding all four files.

Comcast keeps throttling back my upload rate to about 110 KB/s combined rate. I tried switching to Annapolis Wireless (free Wi-Fi), also Comcast, and the...

As of the time of this message, I'm uploading to 5 peers across three files at about 75 KB/s average, hitting a peak of 165 KB/s for about three seconds. My download rate for two files is about 18...

Wow! You've got me there! That is an interesting article. Thanks for the insight. If true, I consider their actions criminal ... charging for a service but actually engaging in partially denying...

I just completed downloading PCT2004. Great video! Thanks ProDeal!

(I've been using BitTorrent for over a year, and using the latest version currently.) I am downloading the remaining three...

Wasn't that the rebuttal offered up to substantiate the "Intelligent Design" theory?

I have two compact film camers, both of which take excellent pictures. However, after leaving ten rolls of exposed film in my checked baggage and having them fogged by the airport x-ray machine, I...

I was thinking that some of the southern or mid sections of the AZT might be nice in winter. Has anyone done this?

It's that pole adjustment and retensioning the lines that really slows me down. I'll probably never break the two minute barrier with my Contrail at my age!

During a week in the Grand Canyon, I wore a long-sleeve Patagonia silk-weight capalene shirt. The shirt worked great in temperatures that up to 105 in the shade. This shirt is ofter found on sale...

Baggies are hard to beat, particularly for the weight and construction quality. Patagucci currently has them on sale on their Web site $18.00.

For shorts without a liner, my preference is...

Well, it does verify that it gets dark between 07:00 PM and 08:00 PM and get light between 05:00 AM and 6:00 AM.

Yeah! A solar-powered, motion-sensor, Wi-Fi Web cam. Now, which is more fun ... watching or hiking? :eek:

Sgt. Rock, the info you suggest would be useful to some people. If you assume that the experience of the people reading the sign is pretty diverse, then having the kind of info you suggest would be...

Ninety percent of the hikers will never think to read the back of the sign. Perheps this would be a good hiker intelligence test! :D

By sign, I assume you mean just a true sign and not a trailhead kiosk. A 3'x3' is actually a pretty big area, so you may mean more than just a sign post. In any case, if it is to be just a sign,...

My favorite is Bear Valley Pemmican - Fruit and Nut. I order a dozen at a time from REI and get a 10% discount. The cost works out to about $1.00 per bar. Based on a calories to cost ratio, these...
