I like the chicken stew. But the HUGE amounts of SODIUM in their "dinners" is enough to have a 'wrecking effect' on my ol' body!:mad:
Saw a GORGEOUS Scalet Tanager two years ago north of Montain Crossings in Georgia. Alas, he was far too quick for my camera. Next year.......?:-?
I've seen those same "purple boxes" in southwestern Ohio and southeastern Indiana as well. Those same restrictions mentioned for northeastern parts of the country are in place here as well. Indeed,...
In addition to that information provided by MedlinePlus or other similar sources, may I add that this 'somewhat senior hiker' has used both in pill form for the last two years upon the recommendation...
Thanks to you, too, Celt. Just saw your reply. I'll check this out as well. Happy Hiking!

:) Thanks Blissful and Totum! That's just what I'm looking for I believe. Happy Hiking! Think Spring
:-? Do any of you know how to access "the AMC shuttle list" of those that can provide needed transportation? Planning to hike in the Whites, and would like to "preplan" as much as possible. ...
Spring of '07 someone was at the parking lot of the forest service access road a bit north of Springer with a two wheeled cart and gear packed in plastic boxes. It was reported that they intended to...
Here's another one. Spent 5 years as a Park Ranger, then went with the Sheriff's Dept. as a "Special Deputy" for 15, all while I taught high school chemistry and what ever else they assigned....
Trust me, folks, Ron has a GREAT heart, business practicum, and respect from and for hikers. While sharing some GREAT times last year....(you really DO need to attend the "Hiker Bash" when available...
:-?Are you interested in a reply from an "over 50" guy who also has "knee issues"? If so,...have you ever heard of William Cullen Bryant? At about age 19 he wrote "Thanatopsis" which helps explain in...
I had a problem two years ago, a slight tear of the medial maniscus along with some bursitis. (Remember, I'm an 'older hiker'.) Long story made short, the doc, (an excellent sports...
:sunMERRY CHRISTMAS!....to all AT and Whiteblaze folks from the me and the crew here at Colerain Fire & EMS.....workin' so others can play. Think Spring:sun
Sure! Spent a wonderful New Years Eve atop Mt. Rogers with friends a few years ago after hiking a section. Try it if you haven't done it.:)
:confused:Hay Wolf, The Only Wander, or anyone else familiar with Damascus: Is Dot's Restaurant still open for business, and if so, what are their hours? In the last three or four trips through town...
Here's another kudo for Henry Shires tarp tents. After ordering mine, he got it to me very quickly, and I've used it LOTS without any difficulties and lots of satisfaction. Also use a piece of Tivec...
While section hiking in the north east a slippery, rocky trail and two falls later brought me in to Manchester Center, Vt with a slightly bent Liki pole. Not only did I receive a cheery salutation,...
It's 7:55PM on Saturday evening, I have a VERY full tummy, and we're having a GREAT time here a the Bash in Franklin. For those of you that missed it this year, perhaps you can make it next year? ...
Alas, I'm not aware of Aircasts for old man's knees, as they could have helped me coming back up from Siler Bald shelter. Once again my right knee has failed me, and I'll head back to 'my favorite'...
Ron Haven in Franlin....at the Budget Inn...is the person that I'd suggest. He is known to shuttle from Winding Stair Gap daily.:sun
While we're passing along kudos to those deserving, Ron also has a FINE reputation for "trail angel" contact with hiker's in and around Franklin. As a matter of fact, I'll be back on at Dick's Creek...
Am lookin' forward to contacting, staying with, and picking up a "drop box" on or about 3/29. Have only heard good things about them and their facility, and am looking forward to it. Hope you also...
Here's another vote for Cliff and Cliff Builder bars. Read the ingredients and compare to others; basically I think they're about the best. I can get 'em around here at Kroger's for $1.39. BUT I got...
:sunAllow me to suggest "A Walk for Sunshine" by Jeff Alt. He Thru-Hiked in '98 and wrote of his experiences. Paper backed, very easy read, and a VERY enjoyable read of some 280 pages. One of the...
