My buddy and I are going to do a 17 mile overnight loop hike. I'd like to enjoy some margaritas when we setup camp. Obviously I'm not going ultralight, but I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions...

I did Springer through the Smokies starting in late January in 2010.

Shoes/socks: I used mid-weight trail runners (keen targhee IIs) and "trekking"-weight smartwool socks. My feet were plenty...

So, I use to be a regular reader here but this is my first visit since my failed thru...had to detox a bit I suppose.

Anyway, the "can I go in the winter" threads always seem to have a lot of...

Nevermind, I'm giving up on getting to springer Friday am. My buddy needs to supply after he gets here so it looks like a late start. Thanks for the suggestion touron; we'll be at the Atlanta...

So, my original plan was to take care of some business in Atlanta tomorrow morning and then have the hiker hostel folks shuttle and house me for then night. Unfortunately, my genius friend booked a...

No worries, just clarifying. It'd sure be awful if WB got cluttered up with misinformation...I can't even imagine!

Good luck to yourself as well. I intend to hike at a relatively fast pace,...

2 + 3 for me, and maybe 1 many years down the line.

Not sure if you're referring to me but, if so, you're off by a few weeks (did I write that somewhere?). I'm planning on hitting Amicalola on the 28th...if anybody remotely cares.

Nothing personal, but a large portion of this post is new-age gibberish:

1. The body does NOT build up an intolerance to foods. Your pancreas does not have taste buds; it is a collection of cells...

Cute comment.

Honestly though, any worthwhile forum has a healthy mix of earnestness (is that a word? earnesty?) and smart@ss comments. I generally agree with Weary, and appreciate his viewpoint,...

Random thought...the following sequence probably lead to the naming of the above game:

Round 1: The actress who played Willow in Buffy and the band camp girl.
Round 2: Band camp.
Round 3: ...

I'm a fan of "Alyson Hannigan." It's basically a modified charades, but it's lots of fun (especially with a little EtOH!) and it travels light. Get at least 6 people and have each person write down...

I am unsure as to how a Middle Eastern dessert will keep you warm, but otherwise you're probably fine. ;)

I mostly agree, but it really depends (as always) on the weather. Last December I did some shoeing in about 4 feet of snow wearing some capilene 3s, jeans, smartwool socks, and my NB running shoes. ...

Just ordered the book on Amazon. It's strange to think that I'll be passin' thru in about two months. Between all the "yahoos" on this site and books like this, I've really begun to look forward to...

TW,

You started a thread about PDA data a few weeks ago that I can't seem to find and I tried to share what little I know. Any interesting info from that thread?

Petr

By no means a definitive list of answers, but...

1. Is this the same as the "Data Book?"

2. Not really. I looked for a long time. ...

Michigan? Yes. Hiker? Well, more of a packsniffer right now, but I'm diving in head-first and starting a thru early next season.

I just found myself agreeing with consecutive Pebble Puppy posts? Besides the alliteration, should I be concerned?

Petr

Hope I have the intestinal fortitude to get that far.:rolleyes:

Umm, the post before the last post. Damn lag time.

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but I sensed some restraint in Jack's last post. I think he may be distancing himself from the more political aspects of what I wrote. Thus, if anybody has any...

Oh no! It seems that while I was composing my last post this thread did indeed get moved to the straight-forward category. Meanwhile, my musings were anything but. Alas, I hope that it was...

Jack, sorry if this constitutes thread drift but may I offer up a cliche?

Kill 'em with kindness.

Overly-privileged, sheltered brats are my people; I was born and raised among them and could...

I hate to sully a heartfelt post, but somebody had to...
