Pretty clear on the south slopes but the north slopes had a...

Check out Old Navy for good, inexpensive fleece. I've got several of them and most will keep you veeeeery warm. Go by the feel of them. Obviously a thin, loose weave will let more heat out than a...

Make sure you check out Jeff's web site also. Tons of good info there as well. http://www.tothewoods.net/

The bear wont know if I last drank regular or decaf. If he's not careful he'll be up all night tossing and turning and I'll get the last laugh! BwaaaHahahaha haahaa haaaa! Sort of :)

Check the trip reports here for GAP camping tips. There are a lot of good ones there.

Just do a slit around the location of the pockets in your pants or shorts you'll have on under the wrap and have a flap as mentioned above to seal it when not in use. Your pants can still carry...

Kilts are being made in all types of material today. Wool, poly-viscose, acrylic, flannel, cotton/poly, carhart, ... Certain materials may suit your needs better than others. My preferred hiking...

Ooooorah fellow Leather Necks (B)

Very good way to do it. I'll keep that in mind. I've read that another good long term parking option is Reagan Airport. Cheaper than the parking deck and along the Mt. Vernon trial if I recall.

Congratulations on the ride. This is still on my "To Do" list.

With your car in Arlington how did you get to Cumberland? It seems the shuttle services up there are hit or miss sometimes.

There's some sound logic. :rolleyes: file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/stevef/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-4.jpg I guess you are a baseball player since you wear a baseball hat? Yankees? Phillies? Did they...

Just make sure you lift the seat or there will be he!! to pay. :)

www.usakilts.com will tailor make a kilt to your measurements for about the same price point as Sport Kilt. They are made of Poly/Viscose, essentially rayon, and will not wrinkle as easily as the...

This is great to see. For now I'll stick with my Poly viscose or Poly Cotton Rip-Stop kilts for hiking but once the pleated mountain kilt is out I'll definitely give it a consideration.

Very interesting, thanks for posting. Note the mileage changes.

The Casinos are a bit of ironic revenge.

In the book "Red Carolinians" by Chapman James Milling back in the 40's, he talks about the plans to build the Blue Ridge Parkway out of Cherokee, NC and...

I know there are a few cyclists here and probably quite a few interested in Cheorkee history so I thought this might be something interesting.

Ditto. I think the craving has to do with the body not getting enough fat or calcium in the other food. Coming off the trail of a weekend hike I would usually just order a couple of hamburgers but...

Looking at some youtube videos it appears there are places to camp but may be in fields with few trees. What are the hammocking possibilities along the walking and cycling routes? Cycling likely...

I use the second one in the OP (with all the tie outs) with my hammock setup. I'm pretty happy with it. The tie outs give me lots of options for how I hang it. I chose it for the price and the...

Took greyhound from ATL to Camp Geiger for about a 12 - 14 hour ride. To paraphrase Dr. Suess, Oh the places you will go and the people you will meet. And then to step off the bus and realize what...

Check out Just Jeffs site for a great explanation of factors and options for hammock camping. Done right, hammocking is much more flexible than tenting. Nothing says you can't sling your hammock on...
