Grew up in Portsmouth where I learned about the outdoors. Now in Maineville, Ohio.

You can only depend on water in the camping areas. I would take some long pants to address the briars and itchy weeds. Also, a bit muddy in the rain. Copperhead snakes are common. It is not that...

I vote for Bobcat. The freakiest sound I have ever heard in the woods.

I wear Bausch and Lomb Purevision Tonic contact lenses. I can wear them 30 days at a time whether I'm hiking or not. They only come out at the first of the month. I love them.

You might want to check with Lion King. He did that section on his hike. He didn't seem to have any trouble finding places to camp, but he did say that the section south of Hocking Hills was very...

I saw a Mythbusters episode where they threw an entire keg into a bonfire. One of my favorite episodes.

Depends on the elevation. That's the nice thing about the mountains. The color change starts earlier in the upper elevations and works its way down the mountains.

I'm the same age as you Cyndie and also had some knee problems about 3 years ago. I go out to the Cincinnati Nature Center two or three days a week with about 30 lbs. on my back. Very few knee issues...

I have the lightning and love it. It has gone through some pretty heavy duty thunderstorms with no problem. That being said, I do use my tarptent most of the time to save weight.

Sorry about the condition of the Buckeye Trail. I maintain a section that goes through Caeser's Creek State Park. I promise smooth sailing through that section. Will you be making Trailfest. My offer...

Fuji F30. Solid metal body. Unbeleivable battery life. Great picutures.

Yep. At the place of your choice. I'll keep an eye on your website.

I work in Milford and live in Maineville. I would love to buy Lion King dinner or provide a place to stay. Just give me the word.

Why the need for Goretex? The Goretex is probably what is making your foot so hot. I use the Vasque Breeze. They are so cool that I can sometime feel the breeze on my foot. They have mega protection...

Zen Nano Plus made by creative labs. It is an MP3 and an FM radio. Voice recording. 18 hours of play on a single AAA battery. Oh, and very small.

I concur with most of the thoughts above. I currently carry a tarptent, but also have a SD Lightning. It is a great tent. I have ridden out some major thunderstorms in it with no problem. The...

I believe that psilocybin and LSD actually bind to the receptors and acts like serotonin rather that preventing re-uptake of the serotonin.

I was going to stay out of this one, but more than once someone has said that we don't know how antidepressants work. While we don't always know about side effects, we do know how they work. For...

Strlyte - Put me down for beef vegetable soup for the Saturday lunch. I'm wracking my brain to try and figure something out for Saturday dinner. Would it be helpful to bring a crock pot to heat the...

I forgot to mention in my previous post. The battery life is impressive. Among the best in that class of camera. I'm at somewhere aroung 300 pictures on the first charge and there is not sign of...

You'll find other threads on this, but this is my two cents. I just got a Fuji F30. It is just over your weight limit. Weighs 5 oz. It takes great picture and I've been able to print great 8x10's. It...

Trapping is still legal in Ohio also.

You may have talked me into it.

Okay. I'm a section hiker with no plans to thru-hike, but I would love to meet other Whiteblazers. Is it worth the 7.5 hour drive for me to go to the PA Ruck?

From Fontana to Shuckstack while I was in college. Carried a 45 lb. pack complete with jeans and a bottle of Makers Mark. We got a late start and didn't even make it to the shelter that night. I also...
