I had a small point and shoot camera, 10x zoom and 12.1 megapixels. It has gone on to the after life. I love carrying my camera in my cargo pocket. Do you have any recommendations?
I really want...
How has the weather been the last few days up there? If hiked to it friday, what might the trail be like? I have a 7 hour drive down there and don't want to slosh through too much crap.
I was hoping someone might tell me what the weather and ground is like on the approach trail to McAfee Knobb. I was entertaining the idea of hiking it sometime this coming week 3/14- 3/20.
Great suggestions! I may have to come back to this for older kids. For now I have to keep it catered to kids grades 3-5.
Those are activities that can be a part of it. The goal here is to create activities that involve math, science, social studies, ect... all centered around the AT as a theme. the kit would be...
I am a graduate student in NJ and an avid backpacker. I am creating a teaching kit to be used with kids grades 3-5. The theme of the teaching kit is "Seeing the USA through the Appalachian Trail".

I have a Lab. Don't mean to offend folks, but there is no better breed of dog. Smart, athletic, easy going, friendly and very very trainable.
I wouldn't trust leaving your car at the Dunnfield Creek area over night, during the day sure but not over night. There are some streams and water spots along the way, but it has been a dry summer....

I have a book that outlines the best day hikes on the AT by state. They rated the top 5 overall. They are, in no particular order:
1. Maine's Katahdin
2. PA's Chimney Rocks
3. VA's McAfee Knob
4....
I am heading out past State College Pa for the 4th of july weekend. Sproul State Forest near Clarence/Snow Shoe. Anyone have any suggestions on some good day hikes in that area?
10-k's post is by far the best.
"Personally, the reason we don't see BF is because they're so good at hiding after they make crop circles."
Thats great!
There is one between rt.225 and Peter's MTn Shelter in PA. If I remember correctly it is on the south facing side of the power line clearance. If I remember correctly, it was for a geologist and...
Bigfoot hate snickers, they love butterfinger and beef jerky.
Just like tigers love pepper, they hat cinnamon.
Ok, I just got done watching numerous programs on sasquatch/bigfoot on the History Channel. Although I think there is a lot more going on in the remote forests of the world. I have to think that if...
Anybody ever listen to Old Crow Medicine Show? Good stuff! Wagon Wheel is great tune.
"this is why i'm a f#cking idiot" LOL. Love that. I have certainly had those words resonate in my head a few times when i glanced up to see the trail ahead!
Beef jerky, beer and some lady lovin.... now thats a quality mail drop!
I have hiked a lot around DWG. i have also done a lot around rt.225, Peter's MNt. Its rocky. i associate it to driving in a car without a seatbelt on a pothole filled road. I am bouncing around...
@ Lone Wolf- you may dig a song by the Zac Brown Band called "toes" any song that says "Sit in the hot sun and roll a big fat one and grab my guitar and play" is alright.
@ Hooch- Nothing says sissy like Metallica. Bunch of panzies, whining about Napster. They suck!
@ Modiyooch- Thats great!
I know there are people who don't listen to music while hiking/backpacking. I generally keep one ear in listening to some good tunes, and one ear open to mother nature's sounds.
I was curious...
Can anyone recommend a solar device to keep a charge on my ipod while backpacking?
