I use Flickr for all my pix. I currently have over 15K on there and have barely touched my 1TB.

I also use the Quest bars. I love them. Tons of protein, little sugar, taste great. I have had the full gastric bypass surgery (I've lost 200 pounds!) and also need the extra protein.

Consider A nice anniversary dinner at the fabulous Old South Mountain Inn, which sits right on the AT and is across the street from Washington Monument State Park, another must see. The AT goes...

I have had the OrthoVisc shots several times over the years. My knees went bad when I was very heavy. I am now 200 pounds lighter. The knees are much better but still hurt sometimes. The first time I...

Sharon has been wonderful to me, too. When she couldn't help me she recommended Bob Jenkins and I've used him twice now. He is 81 and worked for the Park Service for 30+ years. He is a great source...

Mike is going to do it. Thanks for the tip.

Looking for shuttle this Saturday, April 12, 8:30am, from parking area on Rt. 34 to Pine Grove Furnace State Park.
I would prefer to park on Rt. 94 but Google Street View doesn't appear to show any...

Thank-you so much, Studlintsean.

Are there any recommendations of where to park at Ashby Gap in VA? Looking at satellite images there does not appear to be anywhere to park that is not private property. Planning on starting and/or...

Spoke briefly with Berky on May 14th. He was in MD almost to the PA line.

Thanks for the info. I found a number for FreedomRiders and will give them a call. I've used the outfitter before a few times. A very nice guy but always seemed a bit put out and the last time he...

Is there anyone who is willing to provide a shuttle for short day hikes in MD? I would be leaving my car where my hike is to end and using the shuttle to get to where I wanted to start that day. I...
