Spent 8 days in the hospital...really close to going on a vent. Bad pneumonia. My normal o2 became 94 on a good day. Couldn't walk 100 yards without resting. Lost a ton of muscle mass. Long haul...

I had it really bad. 8 days in the hospital. Lung damage. Fatigue. No desire to do anything. Gained a ton of weight. I finally decided to get off my ass... lose some weight and start slow. So...

Wow! That looks amazing!

It's been a long time since there was a new post on here. Ya'll ok? It took me 2 years to recover enough from covid to get out there. Nothing special, just the cave creek loop. Man...was it good...

Don't forget about the wilderness areas. They are not blazed anymore. They actually went through, and painted over the blazes that were still there. Makes sense to me...paint the blazes, but cut...

Did you ever make it?

Filter failure sucks! That's why I always have tablets as a backup. Enjoyed the video!

I'm pretty sure he was just pointing out, that just because it is not allowed, people will still do it. And yes...they have a right to complain about it. Geezzz......

We did 4 days. Saw 2 kayakers on the lake next to choccolocca shelter, and 2 day hikers on top of Dugger. Oh...and one guy at the Church. I dont count Pine Glenn campground.

11 had water, before you go up the mtn. There were probably 4 different places to get water. Now...it wasnt a lot of water, but flowing. Seasonal I guess youd say...

Sorry to hear that. Trip was great...except for Dugger Mtn

Looks like Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed. So, I need you to meet me at the bottom of the mountain, headed north, on Wed morning. Im gonna need some help with my pack, and since you'll be fresh...works out...

Three of us are headed north next week from fs500. Anybody else going to be out there?

I thought they looked stupid. Then I used some. Now I look stupid with them every time I go out. They really help my knees.

Why would any vendor sell a full size hammock for someone that is less that 120lbs? That's crazy! If they knew the problem, and admitted it...then he has every right to bash them. Everyone is...

I used a cosmic down 20 for a while, as a top quilt. I just left it unzipped...put my feet in...pulled it up over my shoulder. Worked just fine. Then,Santa brought me a real, down, tq. It is...

I just saw this, in case anyone is interested.

The Forest Service will be control burning today in the Adams Gap area. The Skyway Loop Trail from FS road 633 to Adams Gap will be closed today. The Pinhoti Trail from Adams Gap to Gunther Town will...

I heard it was really crowded up there, last weekend. A friend of mine went from Adams towards Porters for 12 miles, then back. The only folks she saw were on the campsite she was hoping to use.

WAAAAAYY too expensive...and HEAVY!

How was your trip? Little too much mileage for me, in my current, out of shape self.

Yes! You are not allowed on the trails without them. This went into effect 12/01/16.

Can you be more specific on the dates, sections, and mileage you realistically want to do?
