Where can you leave a car at Big Creek? Is it safe? How much further to the Ranger station?

I am looking at parking in Hot Springs. Is the area near the FS road still ok? Another suggestion?

Doing this section next week. Got myself going from Cosby to "Painter's Branch" one night. Anyone know what that place is like?
Got it from Guthook.
At 67 YO, that is around 13 miles, a long day...

Starting a short section SOBO Sunday. NFG to Fontana.
Got a notice from GSMNP today (via my permits) that Mt. Collins (1st stop) was dry. No big problem as Clingman's has water.
Anyone happen to...

Update for 2019: Still OK to park at the VC. Their words, " Just lock it and leave it".

Anyone know if Bull Gap CS, just north of Neel's, has water?

Don't sweat the small stuff man. I'm certain there are at least one or two folks here that would be glad to keep the girlfriend company whilst ye travel.......just sayin'....

If it does, it's the alcohol. If it doesn't, you're just weird. ;-)[/QUOTE]

This part...yeah...

COGNAC.....ohhhh.....ohhhh......mmmmm.....

Wow...sure screwed that up.

And I wonder about alcohol leaks........

Just something here about the way she's....posing....uh...hmmmm....:banana

Yeah, that's what was weird, it was definitely water. You know I only boil water, don't actually cook anything in the pot but I always at least wipe it out to help prevent possible rust if nothing...

Gee...you'd think after the second bottle at least, way deep down inside my childlike mind, I would have thought...hmmm...I wonder if the lid is tight on this second bottle. Then , at the third...

I try to pack my entire cook kit into one convenient package, i.e., inside the pots. For some time I noticed moisture inside my pot when I unpacked. I thought my bottle was leaking. I found another....

Sorry darlin...I reckon my post was a bit confusing. Actual point there was the clip/magazine thing.

Also, I'd still like to know who owns an "automatic" handgun. Pretty rare. Someone here...

3) Revolvers in packs are dangerous if loaded, since shifting gear can cause an accidental firing, unless a trigger lock is in place, which makes immediate use even more difficult.

What are you...

We did the section between the Ocoee and Hiwasse this past Labor Day. It's really pretty easy. We parked at the dam/camping area. Left shuttle cars at Hiwasee Outfitters. First day was pretty much...

Until I got my Rainbow......

I just don't even use a stuff sack. I cram the whole thing, pad still inside the bag, down in my pack and fill the voids with the other items as available.

Pretty much in agreement on the pillow...

We did most of t his trail NOBO from 20Mile to Smokemont. 5-6 days. Just carried what we needed. Obviously, if you're a healthier (speedier) hiker, you can do it faster and carry less. I'm sure there...

Tell you the truth, I'm not sure what happened. I figured the stake had simply pulled out of the ground but when I got up to fix the problem, both the guy out and elastic had come off the stake which...

Used my Rainbow on trail for the first time last weekend. Jury is still out because I have been using a 1/4Dome for years and I still love it and there were a couple of operator error (I hope) things...

Washing them helps too. Softens them up.

Well, after the Funkmeister tirade I suppose this is anti-climactic, but....
