Ty to all that offered help, I have found a ride. :)
I developed a case on pancreatitis yesterday and by doctors orders I am to end my hike and return home for further treatment. I am now seeking a shuttle for tomorrow, April 20th, to the Charlotte...
I stayed at the cabin in the woods last year and am returning there in April to start my trek north. They do shuttle to the NOC. The couple that runs it are very nice and the facility's are great. ...
I agree. 20* should be fine, I took a full length 0* UQ because it was what I had and found I was too hot most nights even early on.
Just south of Muskrat Creek Shelter in NC there is a blue blaze to Raven Rock which has a beautiful view back towards Georgia's hills. It's a short hike and along the way off the trail about 100' is...
I think he was disagreeing with the OP so I think you are trouble free, this time! ;)
In another month or so they will be sending out dividends to members and the last two years they have also sent out a 20% off coupon good towards the item of your choice. It might come with with the...
The demolition of my sense of invincibility?
I did a lot of planning prior to my trip but the one thing I failed to really think about was injury from over use. I pushed myself too hard because I...
And it would appear, someone with a great sense of humor. :)
I had some pain in my right hip just before the trail and the first day in the trail but it disappeared within an hour. Fast forward to 140 miles later and I was getting off the trail due to what I...
During my hike
Water only when hiking.
Coffee in the morning at camp.
Fresh juices and some hard cider in town.
Prior to my hike I never drank water. I drank two or three cups of coffee a...
I started at Ami Lodge last year and at the time it had an AYCE buffet but it wasn't anything amazing. I kind of regret not staying somewhere else. The view from the dining room was stellar though.
Might also consider a http://gossamergear.com/packs/backpacks/g4-backpack.html for $105 w/o hip belt $125 with
I would argue that while the patch and Certificate do act at keepsakes the Passport does more to pull your memory to certain locations which will cause you to remember more specific details of those...

I don't understand people's problem with hanging their food. When done properly you avoid problems like this. People seem to think that hanging food is done to protect the food from the bear, it's to...
I had to get off the trail this year due to knee problems but before I did I tried resting up in Harper's Ferry for a week and then hiking north. EASY hiking going north from there for a long while....
At this point I do not but have been considering it. It seems to be a great way to allow friends and family to keep track of progress and share in the highs and lows. I have looked over others...
Indeed I do and have.
I'm insane, or so my ex-coworkers would have me believe. I finalized my last day of work today, turning over my company vehicle and equipment and set my sights on the A.T. A few people from work...
Hope things go better next year. I'll bring the spirit of the northwest there for you this year.
So, branching off a bit, how many zeros should one plan for? I know we said not to try to plan them and I understand that we can't predict what will cause a zero day but when planning, there's that...
Today I passed up a promotion at work, a raise of $2 and a change of working environment. With that I also put in my notice, tho I won't be leaving work until March. Was still nice to get it out in...
For chaffing on the backside I have found baby wipes, the non alcohol type, work well for preventing any discomfort. The problem with some chaffing is the build up of salt crystals from sweat. If you...
