This article highlights the issues of locating a person via cell phone, assuming you have a strong signal. You certainly can’t count on it on the trail. ...

cell signal is unreliable in this area due to very few towers. While they did ping his location, in these areas pings are not reliable.

When my husband was in architecture school he and a buddy did a graphical report on The History of Bridges. They had it printed on a continuous roll at a blueprint shop (a disappearing breed).

Water should be good, it has been raining regularly. Bears are very active 20 miles south of Springer.

There is no happier dog than one who has rolled in human poop! The AT must be like Disneyland for them.

Baloney!!!

Ah, I had missed that Mississippi detail. I was curious to see no comment on this thread from BJ and wondered if some sort of warning bells went off in his fine-tuned brain...He of all hikers woud...

Just Curious...was it Baltimore Jack who ID 'd Bismarck as fugutive James Hammes?

Thinking back, both Tarlin and Hammes were semi-permanent hikers season after season. Jack was a very bright...

Or maybe, since a number of SPOT reviews I've read mentioned unreliability in heavily forested areas, she tested it a few times, had problems and decided to ditch it?

Her friend had to leave the trail due to a family emergency. She had been hiking solo for about a month if I recall correctly.

An 18 month old and a 3 year old are required to be in car seats. That rules out hitchiking to town too. Maybe they are planning a supported hike?

Almost word for ord my thoughts on the other thread on this topic...

I'm guessing May of 1976. I was living in Washington DC for my first job after college and was scheduled to go on a picnic to Harper's Ferry with 2 colleagues from work. One of the guys crapped out...

Gabbapentin is amazing medication for sciatic nerve pain.

The Go Fund Me page is confusing. The funding goal in the upper right hand corner azppears to be $10,000 but the text mentios that the building needs $80,000 of plumbing work.

The link shows March 27...

2.5 miles from Mt. Oglethorpe, the original terminus of the AT, 15 miles south of Amicalola. I would be happy to show hikers around the new park that has been developed around the old summit.

We figured it would be nuts today so have ipted to hike anywhere BUT the AT until late April. The BMT at the Swinging Bridge and at Stanley Creek were both busy but not annoyingly so.

This disposable CPAP device is still under development but offers a good prospect to cut the cord (and the hose!)
