My tail name is "bad biscuit. " I had a gas station biscuit one morning on my way to a long day hike. Needless to say, it wasn't good.

Was this near Wolfpen Falls? I've seen it a few times until someone removed all the red Christmas ornaments.

Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the information!

I'm an avid hiker/backpacker, but I've never been on the AT. Some friends have the following trip planned next month. I know Clingmans Dome is the highest point on the AT. What do I need to know?...

I'm just a weekend hiker but cover 15+ miles a day and i always carry my chair. I'll take the weight penalty. Sitting around the fire in a chair sipping a beverage makes a wonderful experience. My...

Thanks. I actually have hiked parts of the Pinhoti just not these sections. 10 miles in the Sipsey isn't taxing to me - that's an easy day hike ;)

I hike in the Sipsey on a regular basis and wanting to do a section hike on the Pinhoti. Does this seem reasonable? I have hiked this distance before, but just not on this trail or these sections....

I received my stickers today. While I'm undecided where to put the other one, I had to add one to my gear box! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/08/8be1a8c97a4d7371eba78ec3aca2e982.jpg

IF you like sweet, the bannana pudding is awesome!

I use a map and compass for planning and navigation where I hike (not the AT).

I use my GPS to track my trip, showing actual mileage, elevation change, and to mark important features. It's the...

A group of us hiked the South Loop - Pinhoti, Skyway, and Chinnabee trails earlier this year on an overnighter. We now want to continue our trek North as another overnighter.

I have the Olympus TG-1 and have had it from 55 ft underwater off the coast of Mexico to many trips in the woods. Waterproof, shockproof, crushproof, freezeproof, and dustproof. And it takes great...

I've heard multiple stories but have never experienced mice filling boots with acorns.

My question is how often does this REALLY happen? Just how "full" are your boots? Pictures?

Why do they...

We saw your van and trailer at the Adam's Gap TH and wondered which direction your group hiked. We went back and camped again at the same spot on Saturday night as we did Friday night (about a mile...

Some friends and I decided that we wanted to do something different. Historically, our hikes have been “hike in/hike out” type of hikes and we wanted some variety. We decided to do a loop in the...

Hudson has someone posting for him;http://www.trailjournals.com/entry.cfm?id=445056

I used to have a larger pack (Kelty 80), but as I have replaced, upgraded, and left items at home that I don't need, the Circuit is more than enough In fact, for multiday three season hiking/camping...

I'm not lucky enough for the AT quite yet. The Pinhoti is in Alabama.

Chinnabee loop? I have a topo of the Pinhoti, but can't find anything on the others. Also looking to possibly to add in Nubbin creek loop, but that depends on elevation change.... That's why I...

Maybe I'm just old school (prior military, too), but where can I find topo maps of the Pinhoti, skyway, chinna

When it's cool/cold - Merino

Althought I think it's a mind game, I have a difficult time wearing wool when it's warm, but my stuff is midweight too.
