    Quote from IMScotty: “What a neat book OMO. I can attest that St. Patrick's Bridge in Cork still looks the same. ” I was using Google Street View images to find current views of several pages. Very interesting.

    Quote from LIhikers: “I'll have to look at the photos later, on my computer, as they are too small on this phone. ” that would help, definitely. Plus you need to zoom in to read the captions. They are most enlightening.

    In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I pulled "Ireland In Pictures" off our shelf, a book I bought at a used book store quite a few years ago. It is a "Coffee Table Book" with 400 pages of beautiful large-format photographs of Ireland. What makes it remarkable is it was published in 1898 in America. At that time, there were millions of 2nd-generation Irish-Americans whose only knowledge of their ancestral homeland was what their immigrant parents may have told them. This book was produced to show them…

    The HF train station is only 430 feet from the trail. I guess that doesn't count as right on the trail.

  • Quote from StalkingTortoise: “On my first section hike in 2003, my buddy Receding Hare had pre-cooked prime rib servings (from Omaha Steaks) Fed-Ed's to the Mohican Outdoor Center. We ate like kings. After a hot shower, of course. I'm going to do the same as often as possible in the 100-Mile Wilderness. Life's too short to live it uncivilized. ” I am.planning a HMW hike for this summer. Where are the hot showers that accept FedEx deliveries between Monson and Abol Bridge? Must be at all of those…

    Quote from IMScotty: “Sure has been quiet in here this week. I hope that means you are all out there hiking! ” I was thinking the same. We were in Key West for spring break.

    Quote from rhjanes: “I found the first 1/3 to 1/2 of the book to be funny and entertaining. After that, I found it borderline annoying. The movie was disappointing. But the book was not really about hiking anyway. ” Pretty much the same. But I think alot of people would have enjoyed the book more if they realized it was not about hiking, but was about NOT hiking. My favorite bits were his observations about how our society is geared driving and not walking. He was doing a zero in some town and f…

    Today we kayaked the mangrove swamps at Pennecamp St Park, FL, and saw a Black Necked Stilt. On the trail we saw a Limpkin (I think.

I thought you were calling him gorgeous, but it was actually the scenery you were referring to. ” So if the first president owned an attractive chasm, we could say: George's gorge is gorgeous.

    At the Key Deer Wildlife Sanctuary we saw three key deer. We also saw a small heron (tricolor or little blue, not sue), an alligator, and chickens.

    There is an eclipse thread on TOS. I posted the details on where to see it from the AT. whiteblaze.net/forum/showthrea…15&viewfull=1#post2304915 But given that BSP will be closed and hiking near the is a challenge in early April, and the high probability of cloudy skies, it's not a promising endeavor.
