Liked LIhikers’s post in the thread 18 Best Hikes California to Maine.
Like (Post)I'm at zero out of the eighteen. Besides, the best trail hike is the one you are on at the moment.

Liked LIhikers’s post in the thread MLK 2021.
Like (Post)I don't know what the usual MLK group is doing this weekend. Kathy and I are putting our packs together for our very own MLK, 2 night trip to Harriman State Park. We don't have a plan for which trails or places to camp we'll use, that'll be decided on…

Looks like the Cafe was bogging down again this morning. I tried something different this time and it seems to have improved performance, at least for me. (I turned the job that deletes expired sessions back on, I think )
Please let me know if you experience any difficulties.

I need to get out more.
Only done 1 of 18, although I was close to Charlie's Bunion. Will need to pick that up some time I am in NC.

How many miles did you hike in 2020?
- Please include all trails, not just the AT.
- All miles hiked, not just new ones (I know some of some of us do a lot of out and backs, or local trails we hit hit often).
- To make it look simpler I just put the levels, but 100 would be 100-249, 250 would be 250-499, etc..
- Please include all trails, not just the AT.

Article from the Trek about a gear list for "older hikers". I know that is a relative term, but they went with 50+, which I believe covers a lot of the regulars at the Cafe.
Now the list is for the author's Mom so the guys may not be able to relate as much to exact clothing, but I thought the discussion about factoring in comfort was interesting. I personally just took on a few extra ounces for a one person Big Agnes Tiger Wall over anothe Fly Creek with the side entry door being the biggest difference. Also appreciated the first guy's comment.

Winter Linville Gorge
On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the… -
Great Smoky Mountain National Park
On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
