I like this idea. When Sept rolls around, I 'm swimming in free stone peaches. I don't care for fruit leathers so I'm going to try the soaking in OJ and then drying. Like that pink doohickey! Quote from TrafficJam: “One of my favorite things are dried apples. I peel, core, and slice a bunch of apples, soak in OJ, season with apple pie spice and dehydrate. If you use one of these doohickeys it goes really fast. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index.php/Attachment/809/”

This book reads like a great adventure book. The sister's Susan and Lucy aka Isis and Jackrabbit (I couldn't fit their names into the title) leave Maine in early summer head southbound and recount their trip. I was very impressed by how well written the book is. The sisters take turns recounting their days and months and describe the sights, sounds ,and yes, feel of the trail "moss clung to the trees and rocks and roots like botanical fur". Their story includes a cast of characters including Tub…

Quote from Just Bill: “Quote from jimmyjam: “maybe I'll just have to suck it up and buy a dehydrator or buy some from Packitgroumet.” More and more I am coming to the realization that a dehydrator is a fantastic thing to have if you have a garden or source of cheap seasonal produce. I tried the complete meals approach and got sick of it since it all turns into a uniformly flavored item after a few months of storage, one reason most commercial stuff is either Italian, chili, or spicy.

Waiting for the snow. We have just a few inches from yesterday's snow and I've been patiently waiting for enough snow to try out the snowshoes I got for Xmas. I think tomorrow might do it. I have been using the old fashion wood and rawhide type for years and just stayed away from treacherous terrain. I really never felt that limited by them. Then last summer I met some folks that told me how great the normally steep rocky areas are for snowshoeing when the snow gets deep.

Like many foods, I learned to like grits on the trail.. Love cheese grits with lots off black pepper and eggs. I also learned to appreciate sardines while backpacking. I agree with Train W oatmeal is hard to get excited about. I learned to like it by making it very thin and adding lots of peanutbutter while its hot

Quote from TrainWreck: “Quote from pipsissewa: “appalachiantrailcafe.net/index.php/Attachment/212/ Last weeks hikes were great. The 4" of snow made the trail feel like walking on pillows. Here in the Berkshires we got anywhere from 4 - 8 inches of new snow depending on elevation. Now it's very cold and going to get colder, nose drip weather!” Looks like that rock already got the memo :lol:” 3 degrees! This is how my head feels this am. Last week hiking on pillows, this week head to pillow!

AT buffer zone
PostHow was the land aquired to create the buffer zone around the AT? I know many residents who don't take kindly to the AT and the "taking of their land" and there seems to be some tension over how this happened.
