    Yeah, I hate the dudes that make you ask to pass —like it hurts their pride or something. They tend to be dayhikers that stick to the tourist trails, though.

    Yeah, it’s exciting. Coyotes are relatively new to us and now they’re everywhere. We actually had our first confirmed cougar sighting in Tennessee in generations a few years ago in west TN. There was...

    Yeah, but no breeding population in like 1000 miles. The idea of a cougar hunting a family of five... in woods that are chock-full of deer? Plus, if it’s 400 lbs... maybe he’s not hungry enough to...

    Hiking next week GSMNP - partner?

    Another clue is that the trail splits off in the middle of a clearing. It kinda looks like it was old landslide on the south slope of the Bunion from long ago.

    The spur trail’s easier to spot in the winter time. You can see the spur trail on the satellite imagery. It’s pretty easy to follow if you can find the start in the summer weeds.

    have you tried permethrin, yet? it works wonders for ticks and chiggers. I don't even bother with bug spray any more so long as have I permethrin treated clothes and a headnet for the no-see-ums.

    Those crazy meese at CS37 have learned to climb the food cables, for god’s sake. Or there’s flying squirrels in the area—is that true or just a story I heard?
