I put mine in a glass of water to soak overnight right before I leave for a trip. It has always worked for me. If you are trying to get rid of any mineral build up, use white vinegar.
No. The park entrance pass is valid for 7 days from date of purchase. https://www.nps.gov/sagu/planyourvisit/fees.htm Your second link is not what you need - that is a camping permit for those...
I can’t answer your question on pricing but in prior years they had a Black Friday sale and/or Small Business Saturday sale. Either watch their social media accounts or sign up for emails. They...
There was one before Ivy Creek, one after after Ivy Creek and one maybe halfway between Ivy Creek and Loft Mountain. All away from the road. The AT goes by the edge of the campground next to walk...
It was down yesterday but is working for me now.
Don’t bother with a duffle bag. When you check your pack in at the airport, ask them to put it in a plastic bag like they do baby car seats. Those bags are huge. I fly with my backpack at least...
All four camp stores sell dehydrated meals. It all depends on when you hit it and who was there before you as to whether or not they are sold out. Not sure exactly where you are hiking but Lewis...
Keep in mind that the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive close anytime there is bad weather (the AT remains open). Both are currently closed due to an ice storm we had on December 15th. They have...
Prov - Contact them and ask if they want your suggestions. There are usually very responsive and friendly. It is only going to make the app better so I don’t know why they wouldn’t want them.
That is a parking lot but the forest service closed that trailhead in 2020 due to a dispute with someone that lives on that road. I can’t find anything that says it was resolved and opened again. ...
Try rubbing a bar of hand soap on the zippers.
My three are - stopped for the night, off trail to resupply and taking side trail. I use the last two just to let someone know that I am off trail in case I should disappear.
I have walked pieces of it but it has been awhile. I felt it was fairly easy to lose the trail in some parts. I noticed it was recently added to FarOut (Guthooks) so that should make it easier to...
Was up there last week. There are lots of tent sites near the shelter and lots more near Rhododendron Gap.
Just got an email this morning from my brother stating that Mineral King is being closed and evacuated. “I cannot imagine an evacuation down that road out. It normally takes 1.5 hours to drive the...
No, that location is about a quarter mile away from the info center on the way in to the park. There is only room for a few cars there. Park in front of the closed run down old Howard Johnson’s. ...
I have Edition 6; revised October 2004. Send me your address if you want it.
Another option would be the Virginia Breeze bus. It stops at the park and ride lot in Front Royal and you could take it to Staunton. From Staunton you can catch a bus to Waynesboro or get a...
There are free busses that run from the Natl Historic Park to downtown. I would call to confirm that it is running and open since so many federal Park visitor center are closed this year.

Hiked thru the park two weeks ago. Loft Mountain and Big Meadows were not yet open and they have the two largest camp stores and are well stocked. Loft Mountain opened May 14th. I would call and...
Per their Facebook post yesterday:
It's good news/bad news once again. We were able to clear another section of Skyline Drive, so it is open from mile 0 to mile 80. However, we must delay opening...
Have you looked at any of these? https://www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/backcountry-trips.htm
In the southern section just south of Loft Mountain, there are a number of trails that you can make a...
Legend is currently hiking the Western Loop. He has finished those three trails and just started on the Grand Enchantment trail.
