Skirts are definitely my preferred attire for hiking. I like my Sportkilt for cooler weather, will layer with a pair of Under Armor running tights if it's really chilly out. In warmer weather I...

lilmountaingirl (No-Whammies!) and GreenMonkee (Fire God), checking in from Franklin, NC. :D Got picked up by Ron Haven as we hitched in and decided to stay the evening.

Trail has been great to...

K - this thread is almost 2 years old, but I have the same question. I see a lot of folks updating journals w/photos from the trail - is this more common now? Are there more places to upload photos? ...

Very sad news.

We'll be at Amicalola Falls SP on the 14th but not starting the hike until the 15th. I'm sure we'll cross trail somewhere. :)

I used to live right off of Union Deposit Road (about a mile from Wildware Backcountry) and would take 83N to 81S to get to PGF. I guess that's what I was thinking when I responded. It's the only way...

Assuming you will be heading up I-83 to I-81 (to get to Pine Grove) from the airport...

Wildware is right off of I-83. Take the exit for Union Deposit Road (not sure of the exit number). Make a...

Last year on MLK weekend, I hiked from Duncannon to Swatara Gap with a couple of people. We passed one hiker all weekend and exchanged pleasantries. At the end of the trip, I realized I had lost my...

As far as I know, that road is passable by car. While doing a SOBO section from Rt 14 in VT to Rt 4 this summer, we smelled fire and heard people as we approached Stony Brook Shelter. All of the...

I did that stretch in June for a dayhike...nice little stretch with only one "climb" of about 300'. I didn't see much cause I was following two speedy folks. We started at 9:30am and were done at...

Is there an easier/faster way to submit multiple pictures? I have some from NJ/VT/NH for sections that I see you need. I can email you links if that would work...they are all uploaded on webshots.

It sure is hard watching everyone go and knowing that I have to wait until 4/15 before I'm there! I thought Trail Fever was bad, but Trail Envy is even worse! The combination of the two is killing...

I "tested" both the Superfeet and the Ed Vistuers at REI and the latter was much more comfy. My SO uses the Ed Vistuers and swears by them so I think that's the way I'm going to go.

Just be...

Dirt, rain, pine, woodsmoke, and every time I get a whiff of my gear!

Go, Frosty, go! I wish you all the best for a healthy and happy thru-hike! I'll be keeping my eyes out for you later in the season...I owe you a soda, or some cold beverage. ;)

...and miles to go...

What kind of miles are you looking for?

Have you thought about PA? Nice loop trails there...Chuck Keiper, John P. Saylor, Thunderswamp, Pinchot, Black Forest, Donut Hole... :)

You need to shut off the computer and go for a hike. I don't think I've ever read a positive post from you. Jack was right, you are a moosecock.:cool:

That's the only reason I didn't get the MH one...freedom of movement. I was happy sport kilt had my family tartan!:bananaI'm bringing convertible pants too, so I'm hoping I've given myself enough...

Oh, man. You know what...I've changed my mind. I don't want to thru-hike anymore. Someone tell lobster...he'll be thrilled someone quit before they started. ;)


Oh second thought, it would be a...

I just got a sport kilt from www.sportkilt.com. It's not UL by any means but it is so flippin' comfortable and easy to move in. Both my SO and I got them and will be wearing them on our hike this...

:D That made me laugh right out loud.

I'm hiking in a kilt and plan on wearing the Patagonia seamless boyshorts underneath (wicking and incredibly comfy ~ plus, can double as swimwear w/ a...

I suspect one of the reasons my SO decided to hike with me was so he wouldn't have to worry about these things. :rolleyes:

Go, go, go!!!:banana I'm jealous...still have another 46 days til I leave.

Tinker ~ I expect you'll post pics and a TR when you return from GA! I was wondering when you guys were heading...

What a great idea :) Thanks!

I'll be starting my hike on April 15th from Amicalola...so that I can be on the AT on 4/16, my 33rd birthday. I've been wanting to do this since I was about 7 years...

I'm going on a sushi binge the night before we leave for GA. Complete with mai tai's and fried cheesecake for dessert. Yup...that's what I'm going to have... :)
