I see conflicting info on the parking situation on rt 519, just north of High point shelter in NJ. Is there parking here or close by?
Back in the 1970's I was a section maintainer with the MATC. I realized then that they do thing differently in Maine. Lots of streams to be forded and the non-switchback mindset. Several streams...
Plenty of people willing to donate to fix / replace shelter, so money is not an issue. ATC is the issue.
I guess NJ is a geological oddity
Looking for a shuttle near Newton NJ sometime in the next 3 weeks. Suggestions?
Thinking about a hike along the NY / NJ border section of the trail, including the Boardwalk. Snow and trail conditions?
Smallest, single blade, Buck Knife. I started hiking in 1969. I carried a huge K bar type knife. Soon, I realized I would not have to fight a bear, so I went to a Swiss Army Knife. Soon, I...
When I hiked the wilderness I only got cell service at Antlers (3 bars, Verizon). A friend hiked the wilderness last month and she got service at several peaks.
I am a Maintainer in Virginia and we have graffiti at the Paul Wolfe shelter. Just today, I was informed we had more "tags" at the shelter. Sanded away by maintainers. Images of all tags sent to...
I am looking at a fill in hike in NJ. I would like to start at the Brink road shelter. Is there road access? Can a normal car pass? Thanks
Blackmagic, I loved the part about "not lying about your experience". I once went on a spring break hike while in school and the trip I went on said it was only for experienced hikers. I had hiked...
The first section I hit will be with a weed whacker. I can't imagine how bad they will be by then.
Just bought one too. I am assuming in VA the trail will be open in June. I can't imagine how bad the weeds are on my section.
I do take issue with the ATC just saying no. We need pipelines, gas lines, electric lines, cell towers, etc. You can't just say no.
Anything to see from trail on lambs knoll? Supposedly, an old military site?
Hike up Apple Orchard mountain in VA. Take the trail or service road?
I was there a couple of weeks ago. Don't stay at HoJo. Very bad reviews. Stay across the street. Very good Mexican restaurant right in front (10% discount for hotel guests).
I have seen 6 bears in VA in the last 3 weeks, just south of the Shennys. I did a 3 day hike in the Shennys a few years ago and saw 9 bears.
90 tomorrow in Virginia.
I have parked at the ATC office in boiling springs. Just stop in the office and give them your info. No problem.
I understand your mother's reluctance. I, a male, started hiking on the AT at 13 years old accompanied by another 13 year old. I don't think parents today would permit it. Parents worry, that is...
Rattle snakes are common in central Virginia. I have a section of the trail about 7 miles south of the entrance to Sky line drive. I see snakes in the trail every year. Two years ago I was weed...
You can find flat places to camp on top, but no water. Glad you are taking the winter trail. I did this hike a couple of years ago and thought it would be crazy to take the AT southbound into the...
