The other day I had an article on my phone about a man from N.J. who died on the AT in Pennsylvania. His body was found the day after someone reported him missing. Technically it wasn't a rescue so I didn't post it here.

Kathy and I got out for a bike ride today of 13.87 miles through some hilly parts of town. Mid way through the ride we stopped at a bagel shop for lunch. We sat at an outdoor, sidewalk table and had a.good conversation about our upcoming AT hike. I'm…

Thanks for the photos, interesting rock faces.

I had a nice Mother’s Day hike in Chickamauga Battlefield followed by two nights in a cabin (with hot tub) with my mom and sister. The rocks have faces. To me, they look like an Egyptian Sphinx, a witch Dr., and Herman Munster. The house is called…

Quote from Traffic Jam: “I’d rather have a reminder to hydrate as drinking enough water is a struggle for me. ” I struggled with getting enough water during the winter months. This is what worked for me: Every hour on the hour I put 8 ounces of…

Quote from Traffic Jam: “I’ll ask my son about the TOPO, see what he thinks. He’s a shoe expert. Is your question about the fad referring to the Hoka’s? Hokas are great and the majority of nurses that I work with wear them. They are very…

I’ll ask my son about the TOPO, see what he thinks. He’s a shoe expert. Is your question about the fad referring to the Hoka’s? Hokas are great and the majority of nurses that I work with wear them. They are very comfortable and supportive.

Quote from StalkingTortoise: “You can turn off those "time to move" reminders. Google will reveal the steps since I can't remember how. I always thought they were funny when they went off while in a plane or driving. ” After exceeding my step goal…

You can turn off those "time to move" reminders. Google will reveal the steps since I can't remember how. I always thought they were funny when they went off while in a plane or driving.

Looks like SAR will have a busy season in the Whites. Luckilly, a pretty easy rescue and positive outcome here... boston.com/news/local-news/202…-h-trail/?p1=hp_secondary

I recently bought myself a new pair of hiking shoes to break-in for our up coming LASH of the AT. I got a pair of Oboz Sawtooth, I've been using that shoe for years and I don't think I've ever had a blister with them. But boy, they sure are getting…

We did a 2.5 mile walk at Amon Park today. We haven't been there in quite a while. They have a tremendous amount of Trilliums. They were on their last legs. It's good we got there today since we otherwise missed trillium season. There were also lots of…

I'd like to add that Baxter State Park is an anomaly these days. They have a set of rules and actually ENFORCE the rules. I'd recommend a visit to baxterstatepark.org/ to plan your visit.

Try to get reservations for chimney pond campsite. It's a beautiful setting with some good options.

Another option for photography, and fishing, would be Katadyn Woods and Waters National Monument. It's a park not a far drove from Baxter. It has the International Appalachian Trail running through as well as other trails, water courses and places to…

Mountain Crossings made this post recently in FB: "TOPO trail runners are easily becoming our most popular shoe. We filled in more colors for the TOPO Ultraventure 3 for men’s and women’s trail runners. Come grab some new shoes today!" Never heard…
