Body Glide in stick form is great for helping to prevent blisters on the feet. I apply it before I start the day and usually again at lunch when I generally take a shoe's off break.

Congratulations on summiting Katahdin. Well done!
Toast is based in the Dennytown Road area.
During a recent trip to do a section hike across New York, we were shuttled by Toast, 845-625-7025. He was fantastic. He took us from Wawayanda SP to Bulls Bridge Rd. A couple of days later I had...
I will be heading out to hike through New York in the next few weeks and am wondering about water sources. I see that the well pumps have been removed from the RPH, Morgan Stewart, and Wiley...
gpburdelljr--Thanks for posting that great site. Very helpful in our planning.
A buddy and I are looking at a few places down south to do an 8-10 day section, leaving next week or the week after. We would like to avoid the thru hiker bubble if possible. Can anyone give me an...
After finishing my AT section hike at Katahdin in 2021 (16 years, 25 sections), I was completely off every trail last year. Enough of that! A buddy and I will be heading north from Springer in...

Sorry to hear about your mishap. Get better fast but be patient doing it. As I saw on a poster years ago, "Time heals all non-fatal wounds."
I use a Nalgene.
Great job! Keep at it. You have some of the toughest but most scenic and satisfying miles ahead. I was told that if I could afford it, I should go hut to hut through the Whites. I did and it was...
Night Train--I had a Deer Tracks double dip cone at the store at Abol Bridge, along with a root beer. Had a steak dinner in Millinocket on 8/6 after climbing up and down Katahdin. But no Magic Wand...
I shared shelters with the Suttons twice during my recent section hike from Route 2/Gorham to Katahdin. Appear to be a solid family and Harvey ("Little Man") is a great kid. They are being...
Thank you for all of your kind words and congratulations. Here are some responses to the questions:
Seatbelt--All of my transportation was by car.
Illabelle--One hiking buddy joined me just south...
Last Friday I finished my section hike of the entire AT at the top of Mt. Katahdin. My hike started in 2005 when I took my then-15 year old son and three of his friends to the Shenandoah National...
I am another patchwork-type hiker. I started in 2005 with a trip to the SNP with my son and 3 of his friends, and have managed to piece together nearly 1900 miles. Shortest gap I ever had to fill...
I have been sectioning since 2005 and am just about to Maine. In nearly 1900 miles I have never had an issue with this. Generally, I step aside and as the other hiker(s) go past they say "Thanks"...
I got back from my Hanover to Rattle River Hostel section hike last Tuesday. Great hike, tremendous views, lots of rock climbing and boulder hopping, and some STEEP ups and down. Going over Kinsman...
Shelb--We just missed a large downpour by one day, and walked in the remnants of it on Day 1. Temps were cool--high 60s and low 70s during the day, nice breeze. The first couple of nights were...
Got home last night. Great hike. Water was flowing at every shelter and at many springs and streams along the way. Thanks for your help.
Heading south for a section in the Smokies soon. Does anyone know the current conditions there (e.g., how are the springs flowing)? Thanks.
AT train station at Pawling SB to Wawayanda SP about a month ago. 1665 miles down.
I have been sectioning since 2005. The smart phone and how people use it is definitely the biggest change I have seen. People are still people, that hasn't changed.
I always carry a waist pack and use it to carry map, wallet, headlamp, and snacks for the day. Mine has two water bottle holders, one on either side of the pouch and I wear it so that all these...
