The Smith & Wesson Airweight .38 revolver comes in at roughly 14oz unloaded. For those not yet proficient with firearms are often better suited with a revolver than a semi-auto.

Started in Cub Scouts, went to Webelos, then onto Boy Scouts. Achieved Eagle Scout without a moment to spare and was in OA. Continued on as a Jr Asst Scoutmaster then Asst Scoutmaster. Worked several summers at Camp Heritage near Uniontown Pa. Taught several different merit badges, most of which were water related. Even had my picture in Boys Life magazine.

Not sure if you're on Facebook or not. If so, the LHHT has their own page and would be a valuable resource for current information.

Go Steelers.........oh wait, never mind

There are many parts of that river that are only a foot or two deep. A buddy had a jacked up pick up truck. We'd drive out to the middle of the river, sit on the tailgate and fish all day. Good time for sure.

I grew up in SW Pennsylvania and "thru hiked" that trail a couple of times as well as countless shorter trips. With that being said its been 25 plus years since I set foot on it. the trail is 70 miles long and takes most people 4-5 days to complete. The Seven Springs and Ohio Pyle areas are my favorite. There are several shelter sites along the way. Each one has probably 5 or so shelters in the same area. Most have a water pump however its still a good idea to filter. The shelters are very simil…

Prayers that the forecasted rain is enough to help. ” looks like there was well over a hundred businesses, homes, and cabins destroyed in one night. As of today the death toll stands at 11.

Seems like the wildfires are once again out of control. Parts of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are under mandatory evacuation as of 9pm Monday night. Prayers that the forecasted rain is enough to help.

i don't have a dog in this fight but I'll pull for the Cubs since I have several friends from there. However, I bet they didn't expect the 6-0 loss they had last night.

Quote from Astro: “Quote from Trebor: “I was at AFSP over the weekend. The zip line is up and running. For a mere 59.99 you can zip through the woods and not see a thing. ” Did it impact the view of the falls any? ” I didn't notice any wires near the falls but I admit I didn't look too closely either. The lady who was working the stand said the course consisted of 9 different runs that started at the parking lot near the front of the lodge and it takes apx. 90 minutes to complete depending on ho…

I unknowingly violated the no fire ban a few day ago while atop Springer. Sorry.....appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…dfa88430fd0f39c9f63e49a29

I was at AFSP over the weekend. The zip line is up and running. For a mere 59.99 you can zip through the woods and not see a thing.

AFSP has started a new 'Adventure Lodge" program at the park. They now offer a Climbing Wall, Guided Hike. Survivalist Camp, GPS Scavenger Hunt, 3D Archery range, Guided Trail Run, and more. The survivalist camp seems a little basic, but still may be a fun way for me and my son to spend a weekend, especially if I throw in a zip line run for him. I understand that State parks have a need to compete for dollars but putting a zip line over the falls is a mistake.

Leaving in the morning for GSMNP. Hoping to get in at least one decent day hike while the wife and son go to a water park or something. Rented a cabin in the middle of no where so I expect this to be a fun vacation.

After 8 days and 46.4 miles ORee and the crew have thrown in the towel. Constant issues with the Trail Riders brakes and a worn out crew were the deciding factors. They said they will finish the trail in the future.

I made the trip and met ORee. Nice guy and a nice group of people with him. My son and I were the only ones who came to meet them.

Quote from max.patch: “Quote from Trebor: “If I can get my schedule arranged I may just drive up there later today and meet them. Seems like a interesting group. ” they've invited people to come to mountain crossings tonite and meet them. ” yea, I saw that. That's what made me think to make the drive up there. I bet those doing the pushing/pulling could use a cold beer.

If I can get my schedule arranged I may just drive up there later today and meet them. Seems like a interesting group.
