    OMO, let us know what you think of this book. The Chris Sylvia case is the one I think most likely to be something sinister. On my hike through that section I decided that 'Mike's Place' just wasn't my scene (drugs and they just wanted the cute young…

    I just started reading Trail of the Lost by Andrea Lankford, a former park ranger, who used her experience as a wilderness LEO to investigate the unresolved disappearances of three PCT hikers.

    There are 5 P5 Conferences. There are 4 spots in the CFP. Every year (at least) 1 team that won their conference and didn't make the CPF will feel the committee made a mistake. Should FSU have been the team left out this year? This is…

  • Winter Linville Gorge

    On February 27th, 28th and 29th I did a two night out and back trip from Wolf Pit Road trail-head to Table Rock mountain and back. In typical cafe fashion I planned this trip while driving 80 mph east on I-40 heading back from the Smokies. I stopped at a McDonald's to borrow some free Wifi to get a picture of a the trails and away I went. Going up Wolf Pit road in my 2002 Honda Accord was risky with the amount of ice and snow on the road. The final hill going down to the…
  • Great Smoky Mountain National Park

    On February 25th and 26th I did a nice loop in the Smokies from Big Creek Ranger Station parking lot to Deep Gap along the AT south of Mt. Cammerer fire tower. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow while going up. I stealth camped due to the amount of snow coming in and the next day went down the Big Creek trail. Overnight there was another 6 to 8 inches of snow and freezing fog.
