FYI. I just contacted the inn at long trail. There is no fee for parking across the street from the inn. Thanks everyone.

As a former HS wrestler from a long time ago, I appreciate the back point reference. I've always thought there were a lot of similarities between wrestling and hiking.
I like to revisit this...
Would it be safe to leave a car there for 2-3 weeks?
Thanks, I plan on giving them a call. Wasn't sure if anyone knew off the top of their head. Had no intention of taking a hike this summer but the opportunity just fell in my lap.
Hi. I'm looking to get on the Long Trail toward the end of next week at Maine Junction. I plan on hiking to the northern terminus but will need somewhere to leave my car for 2-3 weeks. According to...
When I came thru Neels gap in 2008 this was the suggestion they gave me to help my gear fit better. I cut it out and it has been good since. I've been using my Kelty Trekker for 13 years and it's...
I love my candle lantern, but it is pretty gunked up. What is the best way to clean one?
I've been there a few times, always with the intention of putting some miles in. I enjoy the spruce forest so much that i usually end up wandering around spending more time looking at trees than I do...
I really didn't do a lot of hiking, I think I'm getting soft. Ha ha. I spent a lot if time relaxing around the campfire, and yes, the stargazing was excellent. Once or twice a year I take a solo trip...
Yup. Urban bobcats was very similar to what i heard.
I watched a few videos and I'm pretty sure it was a bobcat. There may have been more than one, but i'm not sure.
I spent the last few days at Dolly Sods and there was some interesting nocturnal sounds. Aside from the usual coyotes and owls, I believe I heard a bobcat. Two nights ago it was a ways off. Last...
I like this. I grew up wrestling. I never felt that people understood other than fellow wrestlers and their parents. A wrestling season is grueling, and tests your physical and mental stamina, much...
I had a rough time from NY to VT on my thru. It got hot as balls and the mosquitos came out in full force. For some stupid reason, i never thought about bug netting. My dad mailed me some in Kent. My...
Dude. You apparently didn't hear. 2020 is royaly screwed up. Hahaha. We'll plan a hike in a year or two. Somewhere with no bridges to fall off of. 🤣
Nailed it. Somewhere to take a dip, get cool and wash off the dirt is an afternoon well spent. Get up with the sun. Hike til it gets really hot. Dick around or nap until 5 or so. Hike til dark, or...
I was taking videos of the ponies in grayson highlands when two of them decided to do what animals do in the spring. I showed it to some people in camp and we all laughed. Over the next few days I...
I should probably clarify. I wasn't neccesarily talking about a thru hike or even on the AT. I know it would be next to impossible to thru hike this way. I was thinking more like a week out having...
I don't understand the whole PA rocks thing. I don't remember it being that bad. I routinely turned out big mile days in PA.
Why does anyone want to save these idiots from going to that bus? They probably found a pokemon out there that they didn't have. If they aren't prepared to make it back thats their fault. Quit...
Does anyone go on a hike with the intention of hunting along the way? I always thought it would be fun to hike with a bow or shotgun and kill your food daily. Thoughts?
When did hiking become so complicated?
I don't get to the AT as much as I'd like, but was lucky enough to spend the last week on the trail. I didn't have phone service anywhere, not even in town,...
I found some dehydrated veggies at the co-op in hanover in 2010 that were really good, but can't remember the brand name. Not so concerned with the brand but wanted suggestions for brands i could...
My wife and I will be in Pantheon Arkansas later this week for a few days. We are looking for a short day hike that isn't too strenuous. Not looking to spend a lot of time hiking, probably 5 miles or...
Be flexible.
I left springer with the intention of thru hiking. Had it all planned out, how many miles per day, which towns to stay in, etc. Set deadlines for when i had to be at certain places,...
