I was thinking of doing 19E up to Damascus over the holiday week, for the purpose of this closure, would I be considered a "through" and thus able to go?

How hard is it to find a ride into Hampton and back from where the trail crosses at 321?

How is the water situation between I-26/Sams Gap and Erwin Tn?

Does anyone know of the water situation between I-26/Sams Gap over to Erwin?

Was up there 4-14,15,16-2013. Erwin to 19E. Water was plentiful. Many small springs along the way. Excellent at Cherry Gap and Roan shelters.

Any word on cause of death yet?

Correct..but not Giardia or crypto, these being the ones that bring hike to a quick and dirty end.

If im not mistaken, the AM drops only remove odors and improve the taste of water, not kill giardia, crypto or other viruses. Nowhere on the packaging does it claim to do this, which would be the...

The petzl Zipka 2 Plus is great. Used with lithium batts. mine weighs 2 oz. On high powerful enough for night hiking, on low its great for around camp and red for after hours night vision.

The Imogene is a really light duty shoe. I'm a bid fan of the Raptors. Its a bit heavier and offers more stability, ie. last longer.
