Worth a shot...

I hiked this last Saturday in Harpers Ferry, across the bridge, up the C&O Canal to the Stone Fort trail, looping around to Maryland Heights. Somewhere along the way I lost my...

Hmmm. It happens to be a NF. But I've had pretty good luck with them so far.

If its not warm enough I have a liner. If still cold I can start piling on clothes including a good set of midweight...

Shoot me an email and let me know how your trip goes. I'll be starting out at the boyscout camp on Thursday and just wondering around for the weekend.

I'm heading out with a buddy next weekend to Shining Rock for a 3-nighter. I'll have to decide if my 0 degree bag is going to be warm enough!

At least the forecast right now has little...

I could only be so lucky! I LOVE winter backpacking. :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm new to VA so nearby recommendations are also welcome!

I did some searching but can't quite find what I'm looking for. Most recommendations I've found have been too short.

I'm wanting to find a good 30-40 mile loop in the Shenandoah National Park...

Thanks for all the replies. Looks like the consensus is Interlaken. I can't wait. :D

I'm traveling to Europe this summer. I'm taking the train from Germany to Rome over a couple of weeks, and I'd like to spend 2-3 days in the alps as I pass through Switzerland and do some day nice...

Oh... how's the water at the shelter? (Woods Hole)

Thanks for the info guys. It's gonna be a hot weekend.

(And I use a filter.)

I see there's already a thread about water in GA, but I have a much more specific question and I didn't want to hijack his thread. :)

I'm doing a short AT section hike this weekend with some...

Can anyone tell me what the water situation is like around the Shining Rock Wilderness? I've been up there in the spring and there's not a lot of water then. I was thinking about spending the...

Isn't there a church at the end of the forest service road that heads to Springer off Hwy 52? Perhaps the pastor, after explaining you aren't members but out-of-staters, might do it for you. Never...

I went to Trail Days at Stone Mountain Park here in GA and there weren't many people there at all. In fact, most groups packed up early rather than staying until 6pm. How crowded was Trail Days at...

You are in the SC upstate? My mom has seen them in her yard and she lives near Clemson. They are everywhere these days.

Yep. The weather is making me crazy when I'm stuck inside working rather than hiking. I even enjoyed that unbelievable lightning storm friday night... from the safety of my house. :)

Spent Saturday night at the Cable Gap shelter in NC. (Very cold and lots of snow. Awesome hiking weather.)

The Light Year slept great. Length and width wise I had as much room as the the Eureka...

All ages over 18. A lot in our age group.

I on the other hand found the Sierra Designs Light Year CD on sale this last weekend at REI (plus I had some dividend money), so that's what I've bought. Set it up in the yard and I was able to lay...

Also check out the Atlanta Outdoor Club, in which I am a trip leader.

Membership is free. We do a lot of hikes and backpacking in GA, TN and NC.

Doh! Yes, a really good idea! Thanks!

Although since I'm in a tent buying mood, might as well keep looking around. I'll check out the Evolution 1 also. Backpackgeartest.com ... good site!

My Eureka Gossamer solo tent has died... large rip where it isn't easy to repair. It was 3 1/2 lbs, just big enough for me (6'6" tall), easy to pack. Eureka isn't making it anymore. They do make...

I wondered why the fried chicken was so good there.

As a former 400-pounder myself I have to say that while walking/hiking has helped, I would never have lost weight had I not completely changed my diet & eating lifestyle. Otherwise like you say,...
