No, seriously, RS is not paid off by Barry? Property taxes too high? What gives that they will have to let developers take over? Possible to sell shares of the place to ...

You joke, but biochips won't have much hassle passing into mainstream if it pisses off parents.

I concur. One of the challenges to getting hikers to pony up money for the AT is that the $$ most likely will be sent to the fed's general coiffures. A best case scenario would be a donation drive...

How hot does the Georgia AT get in June?

A memorable spot is the Bald Pate section of Maine. The ex-foliated rock and difficult grade of trail there makes you think of another time and place. That is the lure of the AT. It goes...

Ditto for Manchester. Kind of like a Hanover, NH except not as flat LOL. Bromley is a hoot. Try hiking up to the summit after, well, never mind....

Alternatively, go to Campmor and look at the $27 Repel brand SleepScreen. It weighs less than a pound and rolls up the size of a compact umbrella. I noticed that the SlumberJack screen was missing...

Any chance getting the church hostel to re-open in Manchester? Don't have much choice of where to stay in town, maybe the Equinox, LOL .

Stamp. Guess the ground was 'stamped' flat, hence the name. OK, how about that col term now?

I saw that too. Looks like a good deal for summer treks. Heck, getting mosquito netting alone can cost $10 and then you gotta devise some way to make it into a tent.

I have spent all these years hiking and just now I want to know something about the trail. What is a stamp? Like in Whiteoak Stamp or Big Stamp Gap? I am guessing it is a flat area along the trail,...

I stayed there in late spring of 2001. The stream aside the shelter had a bunch of frog tadpole nests in it. at first I thought someone tossed plastic garbage into the water but after up close...

Good. The old shelter was teetering on falling down and that was 10 years ago. Just looked like it was precariously balanced in that ravine area. How about Low Gap shelter too? That one is kinda an...

I kind of hope to get mosquitoes, at least when the wind is not blowing and I am in a valley. They were never too much of a problem except at camp, but I use a tent, so restful sleeping is assured....

This thread is formally retired now. Stay at Uncle Johnny's AYOR.

"The Winturri shelter is in Vermont. Our illustrious Massachusetts governor stops at nothing to make money without raising taxes."


Yes, but I still would like Pizza Hut to officially name the...

My bet is Pizza Hut may sponsor the Winturri shelter if this is a go ahead with MA:

So why stay there if UJ is gonna be a drag?

Thru-hikers ,I hope, will not join a class action lawsuit:

Maybe now is a good time to petition the state of NH. Petition them to put Mt. Washington on state insignia and quarters and license plates, etc.

Look into olive oil for a calorie source. Or any other oil, but I like olive oil especially. Does not go rancid. Cheap form of calories for the hike.

Can I still mail a package to Neels Gap?

Watch the bear on this page after it loads:

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Whoever the former employee was, I am glad he is gone. Nolichucky is a gravitational place like Hot Springs and Harpers Ferry are for me. Maybe the water running...
