PostQuote from max.patch: “Quote from max.patch: “As long as I'm on this topic, given that Michigan was given a pass and is in the CFP, the committee made the correct decision between Alabama and FSU. ” 63-3. The committee was right. This should shut up the annoying FSU fans. It won't though. ” Perhaps, but who did and did not play (dress out) in the game probably a bigger factor in the wide margin of the score of this game. Now that is on the coaches and their programs. Just saying this FSU team ma…

Quote from rhjanes: “65 today and sunny in North Texas. Colder here by Monday. Rain on Tuesday, then warm, then wet and cool. somewhat typical Texas. I hope it rains out before next weekend as our first Orienteering meet of 2024 is 1/6/2024. The venue is on the south side of Lake Texoma. I've been up there with ice in the forest and other times with it wet. It's not bad when you are in the forest but break out along the lake or a exposed hill and get hit by a 20MPH north wind off that lake with …

PostDon't remember seeing this one before. Didn't remember it specifically from my hike either. But educated guess was it would have fit best in that town.

PostQuote from LIhikers: “Yesterday I saw the doctor about that cracked bone in my leg and he's happy with how it's healing. He gave me the OK to start easy walking and bicycling on level surfaces. He thinks in another 6 weeks trails will be OK. That gives me hope for us doing the southern half of the AT this year. Since our son is the one who looks after our house, mail and other affairs we'll need to be finished by the time he plans to go away later in the year. To do that we'll start sometime in …

Interesting, but I question the accuracy. On Collegiate Loop this summer I could gain 4,000 feet over 12 miles. 4000 x 2 x 12 = 96,000. Square root of that is 309.8. Well beyond very strenuous (200). Never mind the altitude. I always thought I was a slow hiker. But perhaps I am not so bad after all.

Quote from Poca2525: “Quote from Astro: “ - Curious what the other couple hundred mile thru hikes you have done are? If some are the same as I have done, I could provide some relative perspective based on my experience. ” I have thru hiked the Ozark highland trail a couple times and I plan to thru hike the ouachita trail in 2024. ” I have done both of these. You will be well prepared for the southern half of the AT. You will find the AT much easier to resupply. Water will be easier than some par…

PostQuote from Astro: “Quote from max.patch: “Until it gets moved to AFSP. ” First move was because of private property and chicken coups, which made sense. AFSP move would appear to more about benefitting State of Georgia tourism. ” Not that I am opposed in anyway to Georgia, I just don't believe that should drive decisions about changing terminus of the AT.
