Okay, I have an older Galaxy S5 that has an extended battery for extra juice on the trail. This unit is used only for accessing Guthooks app and OSMAND maps for either hiking or cycling (and doing...
Be up there the night of the 28th. If not good, maybe camping at Lewis Mountain Campground. Recent observations would be helpful.
Darn auto correct...I meant Shug.

Cara, what kind of hammock do you have, gathered end or bridge hammock? If it is a bridge, go with a Thermarest NeoAir with the baffles running across the pad instead of the length of the pad. This...
Cape hiker, this is what I did, park at the softball field. Matter of fact, the town has a big billboard directing fisherman and hikers to park in this area now.
I am hiking over the Thanksgiving holiday through Saturday. Wed, start at Swatara Gap / Lickdale iron bridge. Hiking four days and finishing up in Port Clinton. Driving up from VA, so anyone wanting...
.Thanks T Rex, but we are still a couple of ears away.
The book on Amazon looks like what we need, but by the time we do get going, it may be out of date. Hard to justify $30 on information...
Thanks for the replies George and Allleghanian. Would not want to do the route that Warren does as he sometimes will camp where he is not supposed to and my wife could not go down that path with a...
Any one have a resource on commercial campgrounds, parking lots where my wife can park a camper along the AT for a thru hike? She cannot do the trail, but has offered to slack pack me the entire...

Rain Man, pictures are worth a thousand words. Great job documenting the hike. Curious, what time of year was it that you did this? Kind of looks like a winter hike. Curious if I will have...
Thanks tdoczi,
I have seen some rocky areas when coming off of Three Ridges in VA. Long downhill stretch that is full of pumpkin sized boulders. Almost got myself in trouble when my foot fell...
You just helped me on a post earlier, maybe I can return the favor.
The section between Buchanon and Daleville is pretty calm during this time of the year and you will not see too many folks on...
Thanks for the info. If you have been on this section between Port Clinton and Palmerton, any comments on the condition of the trail? Is it rocky in this section? Keep in mind, much like your...
Going to be up in PA over the Thanksgiving holiday. From VA, so never been on the AT in PA.
Is there a good place to stage my truck in Port Clinton? I plan on staging the truck and getting ...
I don't know if any one has mentioned it yet, but I heard the issue at Rockfish gap is water. The tank that supplies the area is private and in disrepair. The hotel could only supply so many rooms...
I know I may have to pay for it each time I mail it forward, but I really do not want to have to depend on getting to a PO on time.
I am planning to use my Ribz front pack this year on my thru (http://www.ribzwear.com/). I have had good success with it on short trips, but I am concerned with chafing on the long haul. Any long...
I am using the basic budget of $3/ mile for my thru. Rounding the trail to 2200 miles, this means $6,600 for the trip. I will try to keep a good record of my journey to see how well ( or not so well...

We are heading northbound. Starting in Daleville with a stop at Wilson Creek on the first night and will probably be too early in the day to stop at Bobblets Gap Shelter. Looking to make it to...
Hiking on AT near Blue Ridge Pkwy this weekend. Any one know if there are any good spots to camp for the evening near Bearwallow Gap? One of us will have a tent and needs some flat area to pitch for...
Update on Chameleon III
Okay, had these things for a full year now and here are my observations. Please keep in mind, these shoes are my daily walkers along with my primary backpacking shoe on...
Here is my experience with the Merrell Chameleon Stretch. Bought these shoes in the Summer of 2011 and have used them as my daily walker with the intent on using them on my AT section hikes. First...
