If its this hot now, i hope its not significantly hotter tahn. There are some 6 and 8 mile stretches between water sources. Going up and down those hills aren't fun in the heat. But some sections, like today can be rewarding.
I'm in Reliance TN at Reliance Fly & Tackle, where I've stayed every BMT hike. Great people with tentsites right by a stream. Today was hot, but the stretch from Thunder Rock to Reliance is one of the nicest on the trail, and I enjoyed walking by the…
I'll pass on this one. From Ebert's website:

The same could be said for “Sasquatch Sunset,” a film that produced the most walkouts that I’ve seen so far this year. I jokingly told the guy sitting next to me that the walkout over/under was…

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…
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.
