    The right time of the year SNP is an excellent choice. I would make sure the waysides are open. Between those meals and resupplying at the camp stores you can really reduce your pack weight. Even getting a 100+ mile hike down to a week (or 10 days) depending on how fast you hike.

    Quote from StalkingTortoise: “My son and his wife honeymooned in Hawaii last year and got to see the September eruption through a telescope from HVNP. I mean literally seeing lava spurting into the air. I flew over Kilauea in 2005 and got to see lava running down to the ocean. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…bc0f07aefe492e41aaabb1c2aappalachiantrailcafe.net/index…bc0f07aefe492e41aaabb1c2a ” People love hot springs, but that is taking to a whole another level.

    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 …

    Don'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.

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.
