Thank you for sharing your first hand experience! I think it will be worth a look for our next trip with cold water crossings.

It’s hard when you see people whose advice or posts have helped me with my hiking trips being called names and disrespected, but yep heading to the high road.

Part of my job is making maps and sometimes I create web apps for those maps to be used on phones, tablets and desktops. A phone and tablet are smaller, so cannot possibly contain everything that is...

You got it, thanks!

Here is a great website (https://www.cohuttawildernesshiking.com) if you are interested in the Cohutta Wilderness and a map I made of trails my husband and I can string together in the future. The...

I did call the county about the FS road, but they said they don’t maintain it. Maintenance must just depend on the location.

I’ll update on the road conditions when we get back. We’ll make up our...

Thanks Slug, that’s what I was looking for. Truck it is!

Hi all,

I'll be taking forest service rd 22-2 to get to Dally Gap from Tennessee. I'm curious if anyone has been on this road recently? I drive a small car, so I'm trying to decide if we should...

I'm so sorry, even after 11 years I know the longing for him is still there. I do love that he's looking back at you in both pictures! I acquired a young lab a month or so ago (he'll be year on...

These updates are fantastic, thanks so much for sharing!

I really enjoyed reading this.. as a huge fan of Georgia and Tennessee, I really appreciate you sharing your experience in the desert.

I think if I were doing a thru hike on a long trail, I might consider them. I haven’t ran into any Issues going the old fashioned way, myself.

That was a fun read :)

It seems like the majority of mine and my husband’s section hikes just happen to fall during a wet week. Each time we get better at keeping our gear dry. Pretty much everything I carry is in a dry...

Edit: I just noticed that you were interested in the trail leading up to Albert mtn. The section I described is about 30 miles north of there. That’s the only one that’s bothered me so far.

Yes, for me anyway. Going north past Wesser Bald Shelter there was a rocky summit where there were no trees. It came up suddenly as you turn down the trail and I felt instant dread. I just sat on the...

I’m shakey on heights, but I loved this very short section of the trail. There was plenty of tree cover in May 2017, which helped me feel less exposed while hiking up it.
I tried to go up the tower...

I can't view your thread from earlier, either... just a green screen.

Cool, thanks!

Loved the video, your trip looks incredible. Thanks for sharing!

I have never had any issues with my contacts while section hiking. I wear daily contacts while hiking and bring an extra set or two, just in case. I take out my contacts out while getting ready to go...

That's interesting, I'm sure a lot comes down to how we're framing our experience in the woods. I remember the first time a bear entered camp at night. I woke up my husband to tell him, and he said,...

You are absolutely right. We went over all the possibilities we could think of (didn't think about the floating tent), and in all likelihood there is an innocent explanation, but it sure didn't feel...

Lol, it was my husband's first backpacking trip, and he insisted. He also brought MREs..sometimes people just have to learn on the old fashioned way!! In his defense he didn't complain once,...

I don’t think that the article has anything to do with women's safety. As others have said, everyone on the trail at that time was potentially in danger.

I’m a small 43-year-old female and I have...
