Please note FarOut (Guthhooks) has 30% right now. Really helped me this past week on the Ozark Highland Trail with unpopular section of trail covered with leaves. Although with latency still not precise enough, but did make it home.

Taking students to Europe (Scotland, England, Italy, France) for a month in early May to June. And then a trip to Japan to see my son and his new bride, won't leave much of a summer. Probably just Collegiate Loop at end of July after a week or so near NC at the beginning of July. Looking at entire Colorado Trail for 2024. But could pull in if somethings change. Probably 2023 more trips wife wants and then 2024 try BMT followed by CT. Love pulling the maps out and planning regardless of when I ac…

Quote from odd man out: “Quote from Astro: “What worked best for me on Mt Katahdin was to go up the AT (Hunt) and come down Abol. After the rock scramble, Abol Trail is significantly milder. ” I've poured over all the maps and web pages yet a few things are still not clear. If you descend the Abol trail, do you use a local shuttle to get out? This trailhead doesn't see to connect to others? According to the AT Hostel web site, you can not get a shuttle without a camping or day use reservation. ”…

Quote from hikerboy: “My guess is she went hypothermic not long after getting above treeline,leading to some poor decisions.It's a steep climb to the ridge, and may havse been soaked with sweat. Once she hit the cold winds on top she was done. At 19, she did not have sufficient experience to use good judgment, and it cost her life. So sad. ” I know at 19 I also had a lot more confidence than I had experience or good judgment in most things. I guess that is one advantage of getting older despite …

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! All things considered so much to be grateful for. Fortunately my wife does the majority of the cooking. 15 total including nephew and niece's families. Miss my middle son who moved to Tokyo last month, but enjoyed the addition of my two granddaughters this year, one of which is sleeping in my arms right now.

Quote from StalkingTortoise: “Quote from IMScotty: “The news says her body was found near the headwaters of Lafayette Brook. This would put her well off course from her intended hike south from Mt. Lafayette. She could have stopped at the Greenleaf Hut (I assume she was heading up the Old Bridle Path). Hypothermia can cause bad decisions. I don't know if she head a cell phone, but I doubt there is coverage where she was found. Today was her twentieth Birthday ” I was starting to speculate what c…

Quote from rhjanes: “Quote from odd man out: “as a cello player, I've always thought string instruments were unique in that your left and right hands are doing very different motions. Plus, assuming you play "right handed", the fine motor skills are needed in your left hand. ” LOL. Child's play! (JK). Watch a drummer on a kit. (For a Right handed drummer, switch all for a lefty) Left foot is keeping 4/4 time (or not) on a high-hat. Possibly also double kick-drumming on a double pedal. Right foot…

Quote from IMScotty: “My expensive Marmot puffy needs replacement (too many small holes leaking down) and I am thinking of going cheap this time with the REI 650. rei.com/product/154167/rei-co-…et-20-mens?sku=1541670030 Only $69 for the next two days and I have a 20% off coupon I can use to boot. I don't have much to lose. I never hike in my puffy because down and perspiration don't mix. This would be a light weight solution for a little extra warmth around camp, but probably not super warm. I'l…

Also will eventually try to get a JMT permit. But the only thing I plan to commit for more than a month to is a thru of the AT. I really like the convenince of resupply (hostels and towns) and relatively less extreme weather.
