Congratulations and thank you for sticking with us to the end! I'm so glad you had a good day on Max Patch at the end of your hike—what could be better?
Sounds like great timing for your flip flop thru-hike! I look forward to your post announcing your finish! And when you have time after you get home and reflect on your hike, maybe even a summation...
somers515, Awesome that you have made it so far! Are you still seeing any leaves on the trees? Or on the slopes/valleys visible from the trail? Are you seeing any other flip floppers or sobos?
Great to read your updates! Thanks so much for keeping us posted! Hope you had a beautiful day on Max Patch and look forward to hearing about your experiences through the Smokies!
Sounds like you are doing great, Somers515, adapting to conditions the Trail throws at you!
Somers515, It's so awesome to read your updates! You're making great progress! Thanks so much for taking time to post here. Are you seeing much fall foliage? There's been a drought in much of the...

Yes, Tree of Heaven is bad—a highly invasive non-native tree—and should probably be renamed! That webinar about the Spotted Lanternfly and Tree of Heaven is now online at youtu.be/GyLqPPWMPFA if you...
Thanks so much for your efforts! Sounds depressing and disgusting—but hopefully gratifying!
If you've got a lot of them on your property, apparently the latest recommendation is to trap them, rather than employing a sticky band as previously recommended (too much collateral damage?) Here's...
I can see that in areas that are already overwhelmed with Spotted Lanternfly reporting is not useful (re Old Grouse's comment). However, where it's just emerging, it is important to report.

There's a free webinar today at 12:00 pm:
Blue Ridge PRISM Brown Bag Webinar: Tree of Heaven & the Spotted Lanternfly
Registration is required but it looks like registration is still open.
All rules along the A.T. are set by local land managing agencies, of which there are more than 75 from Georgia to Maine. The National Park Service (NPS) has rules and regulations that pertain to...
I'm not sure the weather is necessarily more favorable hiking the southern 1000 miles southbound in fall. The main reason hardly anyone does it is that hardly anyone does it.
Georgia's 80 miles...
FollowMeMuir,
Yes, you are right about the data. There are often very meaningful nuances that can get lost along the way.
A couple of examples.
Ten years ago, flip floppers starting...

That's such an amazing offer of goodwill and help! Maybe contact the family directly to find out what type of help is needed when? So far most of the communication has been on social media (Cindy...
