    Trebor - - Benton MacKaye Trail

    Quote from mental note: “Many don't care for out & back hiking, I find it resolves a lot of hassles to do it that way, so I'm down. But then... ” Most of my hiking is solo, so that generally leaves me with two choices. 1) Pay a shuttle to drive me or 2) do an out and back. I had my wife pick me up once and that turned into a hassle of monumental proportions after she got lost on the forest service roads for hours and hours and nearly ran out of gas.

    i have a old Swiss Army type knife that has a full size spoon and fork attached. I remember getting it for Xmas when I was 13. Thought it was the coolest thing and used it for many years. Probably weighed a half pound. If I can find it I may start carrying it again just to see people's reaction.

    Years ago my zone partner and I responded to a residence because of a "unruly teen". We get to the home and are met at the doorway by Mom. Mom tells us a quick story about her spoiled kid and how's he's out of control. She says he's in the living room on the couch. We go I and he's sitting on the couch with a rifle under his chin. My partner starts speaking with him while I take a firing position from the kitchen. The kid was upset about normal teenage stuff. He pulled the trigger as we were tal…

    Quote from sheepdog: “Quote from LIhikers: “Years ago I was almost arrested at a park in New Jersey, but that's another story. During the ensuing conversation with the park Ranger I learned that many people go to parks to commit suicide. Seems it's a hazard of the job of a Park Ranger, finding the victims after they've been successful. No matter which this was, it's a shame. ” I used to run a prison work crew at a Michigan state park. There were several suicides there in the five years I was the…

    turns out the parking lot for Springer is in Gilmer County but the trail is in Fannin County. All my buddy knew is that someone called 911 Saturday morning and reported a naked girl hanging in a tree. The person who called it in was laughing on the phone. Investigators are obviously trying to determine if it was homicide or suicide. If I hear more Ill update
