Rest in peace Jack. You sure made my hike a memorable one. May you soul be at rest.

This is really a weird question...It's like asking whether a 6 month vacation is harder that a short vacation every year for 5 years. I guess it depends on what your goals are?

Just wait and you will end up with something as marvelous as Sir-P-Alot... They call me P for short....

I don't know how that can be. I did the same section on the weekend of the 15th and there was water at Stover Creek, Three Forks, Long Creek Falls, Hawk Mtn., the two streams were flowing well...

I recently did Deep Gap right of the GA/NC border to NOC. You can get a shuttle at NOC or shuttle cars. NOC is a great place to hike to and will give you a place to clean up and get a good meal...

You don't have to seal it but if you want to try one thing I would suggest is KILZ latex sealant. Try it on an extra piece first and then see if it bends without cracking because I have never...

On my 99 hike I only spent 3-4 nights out of the 6 1/2 months alone. It just worked out that way. I usually camped at shelters or bars.

In 99 it was raided by the police and drug sniffing dogs the night before I got there. Dogs urinated all over hiker's packs. I wonder if this is common practice during thru-hiking season?

I am in.

Since the venue has changed to in town I might not be able to make it. The trail is calling. I won't make a final decision until tomorrow and working out particulars with family. It would be nice...

Fording almost any river due to slippery uneven footing and chances of getting your feet lodged is dangerous. Getting your foot lodged under a rock or crevice and then the river forcing you over and...

Looks like I will be doing that Hazel Creek/Forney loop starting around July 5th. I don't really fish, but it is suppose to be a great hike. I am giving my wife the option of doing that one or...

I will attend. I will probably make a weekend out of it and camp out at Winfield Scott or on the trail somewhere but it isn't a long drive from there back to Caruso's.

I agree. Fording the Kennebec was a highlight of my hike.

I have tried it, but never for hiking.....

Bearded Clam Hiked in 99

I have never tried them but I have seen socks that fit over your toes like gloves fit over your fingers. They were made of a liner type material. You might want to try them instead of taping.

I think you also must remember it is a holiday

Hiked into Hot Springs on a weekend trip with Dishman this weekend: we ran into Miss Graceful, Ziola, Ghost of Panchi?, Lumby, Spock, Judo, Amtrack, Tripple A, TMB, Uncle Buck, Dances with Sloths...

If you are talking about hiking on the AT, you don't need it. In fact you don't need a map or compass either. The trail is well marked and a companion and data book will give you more information...

Hikers have sex too; don't they......

I don't know exactly what happened but I will say that getting to know Lone Wolf on my hike was one of my great experiences. He is a good man with true compassion for people that will give a...

I have spent a lot of time on river and trail and have always found garbage bags to be the most efficient waterproofing. If weight is not a issue then I guess stuff sacks are okay, but why carry...

I use leaves, sand and dirt. If there is enough refuse left (never, I finish most of my meals), I dig a cathole. The next time I boil water in the pot it is sterilized. Easy, lightweight, and...

Larry, do what you think is best, I have always been a firm believer in hike your own hike, live your own life. I take inspiration in the strength you display while facing such adversity.
