not all walkers want or need an AT "community".Originally Posted by Birthright
I agree - some of my best nights on the trail were when I had the tent site area/ shelter or "stealth site" to myself to enjoy the night sky, peace and tranquility and sounds of nature.

Totally agree. Hiked thousands of miles alone. Other than AT usually camped alone, and sometimes didn't see anyone all day.
I enjoy meeting other hikers, but it is not why I am out there.
He has posted within this discussion.
Popped in for one of my 2-4 visits per year. Usually drop in if I'm looking at a section to see if there's any current info. Always good folks here to help out with useful and sometimes useless info (I probably fell into both of those categories once upon a time). This place definitely helped me spend money in the beginning but my kit has been pretty stable for a long time.

Time to wake this place up again. Facebook groups have become to boring.
All walkers of the AT need the wisdom of the AT Community on "whiteblaze.net "
Obviously can't speak for anyone else,but I will say this: none of my friends and family understand why my son and I hike the AT. Try as I might,they don't get it. The people here certainly "get "it. That's why I come here,because it is full of people that understand.
When I tell people about my hiking plans, the always ask if I'm going alone. I say yes. They ask why. I say because I have no friends ... (dramatic pause while they give me a funny look) ... who are crazy enough to go backpacking.
90 replies and over 12,000 views... doesn't seem like it's on life support to me
The 90 replies is the part that counts. The other count probably includes all the Spyder Bots, Google and other Web bots that are examining the data for mining/marketing and what ever else they do.

Hammock hangs are where you go into the woods to meet men you've only known on the internet so you can sit around a campfire to swap sewing tips and recipes. - sargevining on HF
If we don't want it to die, it won't. I for one appreciate all the wisdom that can be found here and the ability to get information and opinions from actual hikers instead of all the FB warriors out there. Seems to me that the people who take the time to post here are more "real" if you will. Just my opinion.
Grumps. Your opinion is a good one!

Whatever happened to Lone Wolf?
Well... I don't know what he's been up to since 3:05pm, but at that time he was posting to Whiteblaze.
