Sarcasm is very hard for some people to sense on the internet. It cracks me up sometimes.

The only downside I found with a steri-pen was the battery usage. It is not so good to have your batteries die while you are in the middle of the woods. I used to carry aqua-mira with me just incase,...

I don't see the problem with sending someone a PM if you are offended/didn't agree with what they had said. It's much better than junking up someones thread with off-topic banter.

I agree with Whiskey Ninja. I passed a thru-hiker in maine who had done the whole thing w/o mail drops. On my short trip I hit a few Post offices on sundays/after hours. It's a real pain. Careful...

I stayed at The Barn in 2008, wasn't impressed at all. I hear bad reviews from hikers paradise also. I go with White Birches. As others have said, it's a bit outside of town, but the most friendly...

I sleep with mine every night, usually unzipped. And I never wash it...I have no friends.

Though I only made it from katahdin to rutland, VA I was amazed by the hospitality of the hostels. My two favorites had to be the Andover guest house and Chets in Lincoln NH. I have to applaude the...

Ozzie, congrats on making it all the way!


David(grits) finished in late November.

There are already a few SOBO search parties out for him.

They are a few days ahead of me. I've been reading all of their entries in the trail logs, and they seem to be a pretty cool bunch. I'm in Monson right now, hope i catch up to them sometime.

I'm summiting in freakin 2 days...I can't believe it has come up so quick. I can't wait to get out there! Hope to see plenty of you wonderful people.


I'll be at KSC, tentsite 17 on friday night...

Regardless of whether this was blatent fraud, or merely an error, I have written down to use cash at Uncle Johnny's if I make it there on my thru.


Thank you for the info.

That is sad. An eighteen year old just drowned a day or so ago in a swollen river here in Northern Illinois. Water is powerful. Don't **** with it.

Not climbing K, or not hiking at all this season?

That does look like a small frame. I would definitely try it on first to see how it feels. If you have alittle extra money floating around, and are set on an external frame, check out luxurylite.com....

That's what I plan on doing...It just seems like the easiest way to start out the hike. I don't have any height issues, just don't feel like fussing around with shuttling my pack around, and possibly...

Possibly a shirt saturated with DEET? If that's the case I have 3 bug shirts, 2 bug pants, 2 bug socks, and 1 bug bandana.:p

The world is ending in 2012, don't you guys know this? Quit your job now and take the hike!


:awkward silence:

Just got my reservation confirmation back from Baxter. June 27th, Katahdin Springs, Tentsite 17. Stop by and say hello if you are around.

I also got my lodging for June 26th, in Millinocket. My...

Good enough for me. My young body can handle that.

I have official dates. woo.

I will be arriving in Millinocket late on June 26th. Summiting on the 27th, and staying at Katahdin stream campgrounds. (As long as my reservation goes through...I...

I will be climbing K on the 27th. If you are around then I'm sure we could find eachother.

I have official dates!

My plane gets in the 26th, and I will be summiting Katahdin on the 27th. Sleep the night at Katahdin stream, and then off for the adventure of my life.

Wooooo, more Sobos. Keep 'em comin!

Bury. Doesn't the ****....fertilize? I can't help but laugh at people who pack away their ****. I honestly had no idea anyone did that...
