    If the gubment wants the goods on ya, posting or not posting your picture on WB isn't going to make any difference. The same would likely go for just about any other agency or individual with...

    I have hiked a few parts of the BMT. IMO the DRT is tougher than the sections of the BMT I have seen, but I haven't hiked a lot of the BMT.

    Keep a few things in mind.
    1. I'm no pro, thru or LD...

    On day 1 I stopped at the spring box on the BMT NOBO just before you reach HWY 60.

    There are three signs for water on the DRT between the BMT and the top of Coosa Bald (where the DRT meets the...

    day 1 830a to 730p with an hourish lunch, camped at Sarvis Gap on the DRT

    day 2 7a to 530p with an hourish lunch, camped at Woods Hole Shelter on the AT

    day 3 6a to 7p...

    I have returned, got in last night (8-1) at about 9 pm.

    Finished the loop in about 59 hrs, 3 days two nights, averaged 20+ miles a day. It was exhausting, brutal and...

    Haha I got ya. I had already planned on wearing convertible pants/shorts, more to avoid poison ivy than blackberry bushes but hopefully they will protect from those as well! I'll try to let you know...

    Can you tell me what you mean by "blackberry encroachment areas"? Blackberry bushes encroaching on the trail maybe? If so I hope they are loaded haha, free food =)

    Thanks for the info on the 003...

    I've been thru there before on the BMT but never camped there. It is a beautiful area. Hopefully I can camp there another time, but this trip is going to be more about testing/pushing myself, and...

    Yeah I'm thinking the box spring might be the better option to camel up, I just hate the thought of carrying all that water up Wallalah and Licklog, but sounds like that might be easier than trying...

    Yup I have it, thanks! I've printed a copy of that page and some maps from Caltopo showing the route and water source waypoints. I also did notice that all of the water sources will be to my right or...

    There's supposed to be water at Whiteoak Stomp.

    I'll be EBO, so Mulky is at 7.2m after the DRT splits from the BMT on Rhodes Mt, and Whiteoak is at 12.5m. Then Wolfpen is at 15.6 miles, so that...

    Hiked the Wagon Train about two years ago and the Jacks Knob a few weeks ago. Both well marked and easy to follow.

    Thanks Carl. I don't anticipate having water problems with all the rain we're getting, like you said, but it's always something I like to try to check on when hiking the lesser-known trails. I'm...
  23. Duncan Ridge Trail (GA) any news on recent conditions, especially water?

    Hey All,

    Next week I hope to hike the GA Loop. My version will start at Three Forks (AT/BMT), take the BMT NOBO at Long Creek Falls, and split off on the DRT on Rhodes Mt. From there, join up with...

    Not trying to argue, but definitionally a singular occurrence can not be a "coincidence".

    No further commentary offered on the situation at hand, there isn't enough data given to base a judgement...

    If you have an Ace Hardware handy, they sell chair tips in various sizes. I use them for my bamboo hiking staff. They come in packs of four and one tip will last a couple-few hundred miles. I'm on my...
