    Does anyone know if the bridge is out or in @ Katahdin Stream Bridge? From the photos it looks like its totally passible as long as shes not ripping along.

    Quote from LIhikers: “Our thought is that we'd like to start as soon as we can. If the heat is high we'll hike slower. When we hiked in PA it was over 100 degrees so we'd take a break in the afternoon and do our miles in the morning and…

    I answered based on how much I SHOULD lose. That was spot on. ;(

    I think you're correct in that they are really asking for the average males weight loss. I lost 12 pounds. But I found it shortly after I got home. :)

    Welcome to the cafe. Since the AT runs through Baxter park for about 10 miles your plan should be easy to accomplish. Start at the ranger station at Katadyn (spelling?) Stream Campground and hike the trail southbound. Go as far as you like then turn…

  • 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.
