You can never hike the Roans too many times.
I wasted two minutes of my life for the same reason.
I have learned to make my reservations as soon as possible (1 month before first day on the trail). I got burned by this last year. I was going to hike Newfound to Fontana the second weekend in...
When was the first time because it certainly wasn't the war of northern aggression? :banana:banana:banana
Public places like buildings, sidewalks, etc. make sense. Making hiking trails ADA accessible is unreasonable. Making shelters that cannot be reached (without great effort) ADA accessible is...
Dang. I missed the hike in my honor!
Reminds me of the scene in Bull Durham when the reporters are asking Nuke how he felt after throwing a good game..."It's out there. I mean really out there."
PM 10-K. He lives in Erwin and would probably love to do this for you.
Beat me to it.
I was able to score a Mountain Hardwear soft shell, spare MSR stakes for the Hubba Hubba and some toys for the dogs.
Agreed. You should be able to easily shed 2+ lbs and not spend more than $200 (look into TarpTent). I would leave the trowel at home. Use a stick.
So, he's lost and decides to keep going uphill? Why didn't he just follow Ramsey Prong back down since that was the way he came up?
Congrats MAGS!

to the site and to the addict club. Researching more gear right now... (as usual).
REI dividends come out tonight or tomorrow online. Due to the complicated nature in which they are calculated from my credit card, I really don't know what mine will be. Won't be more than $100,...
I use to maintain in that section before moving and I will be the first to say that I avoided hiking extensively in July. Even up high, it can still be very hot. However, as long as you don't push...
I have a Hubba Hubba and it is bullet proof (weather speaking). I have rode out on January snow/wind on the Art Loeb Trail and August thunderstorms in the Roans with no problems. I really like all...
Away from the buffet line
Depends on where you are going. The highest peaks will still have some snow. The Roans got another snow a couple of nights ago. If you pick a section that doesn't have really high peaks, you will...
While still illegal, I have heard numerous accounts of people staying in the Cammerer tower without being caught or fined. Never heard of one person being caught or fined there. But then again, who...
I use a 100oz camelbak in the above-freezing months and a friend of mine solved by bladder problems. :)
We both use Katadyn water filters. Camelbak makes a little quick change port that you...
Same people that get on this site and ask how far it is from point A to point B. Not that twenty different publications, the White Blaze companion and the ALDHA online companion (even though I think...
Like all good things in life, it depends. If you are of average size or smaller, a one man will suffice. If you are are a bigger guy like me, you might consider a two man or a larger tarp tent. I...
Until after an ice storm...
I got a Pentax Optio W90 and absolutely love it. Fits in my pocket and it is fairly light. Only downside is that it doesn't use regular batteries. However, I have found that it will run a long...
