Quote from max.patch: “i don't like golf. i hate tiger woods. at whatever tourney is going on today a tiger woods doppleganger was in the gallery. looked like him. dressed like him -- even down to the tiger woods ballcap and last day red shirt. and in the picture below (no video posted yet) he has his hand stuck out hoping for a fist bump or some type of recognition -- but of course woods ignored him. walked right by him. no nod, no eye contact, no nothing. i'm sure someone will post a video soo…

Quote from LIhikers: “Looks like Jimmyjam is gonna have to go to the store and buy some Traffic Jam, jam, to send to Traffic Jam ” If Traffic Jam wants some Traffic Jam Jam I'd be happy to send her a jar

Still hot as hell here. Heat index 105. Low tonight 85. I'm headed to the beach next week where I'll probably hit a cold front with my luck.

Quote from Traffic Jam: “Quote from LIhikers: “I went for a 26 mile ride this morning with the local bicycle club. I had no problem keeping up with the slow group that they have. The turn around point was at a bakery a couple of towns over, where we took a break. It was hard, but all I bought was a cup of coffee. I think I might join them a couple times a month. ” That’s awesome. It’s difficult for me to find a group I can hang with. Here, everyone who rides on the roads are fast(er). I’m consid…

Quote from Traffic Jam: “Quote from jimmyjam: “Heat index over 100 everyday this week. ” here too. It’s hard to get out and do stuff. I ran/walked 4 miles late this morning. Had to walk in the spots without shade. Visited my daughter and SIL in Lititz PA and love it! I’m thinking it would be a great place to retire except moving away from my parents would be hard. Anyway...the heat is starting to bother me and living in a colder climate sounds good right now. ” I'm thinking Canada would be good …

Heat index over 100 everyday this week. I'm looking forward to fall too.

But I am sure it is good. ” I wouldn't think of going to the hardware store for jam or a good loaf of bread to eat it with.Makes me wonder which aile in the grocery store you'd have to go to to look for lag bolts ” It's called "Pleasant's Hardware" and th…

I went and visited my daughter and her husband yesterday and took her her two bikes. I got this picture texted to me on the way home. What can I say but like father like daughter. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…02082ddfa9b76dd9412558465

Actually I'm always way way under a 100. Both my vehicles are 4 bangers. The old Heep can only pass on a downhill.

Quote from Astro: “Quote from SarcasmTheElf: “And in other news, this is what it looks like when police attempt to pull over a 707HP Dodge Hellcat who’s driver doesn’t want to cooperate: youtu.be/RO3SLBazS_o ” That was interesting, especially since I worked in Houston for 18 years and familiar with the territory. I hope he gets the upper end of punishment. I must admit as a teenager I drove those type of speeds, but never around tI didraffic where I might put innocent people at risk. ” i had a c…

I started my New Hampshire hike in my Oboz Sawtooths, but after slackpacking over Mooselauke the balls of my feet hurt. I wanted to wear them for the toe bumper because of the toe protection, but when I wore them in April, I still ended up loosing three toenails. So I switched to my Altra 3.5s that I had stashed in my car in Glencliff. Guess what, I lost no toenails and those shoes pretty much have a non-existent toe bumper. Go figure.

Quote from Traffic Jam: “Today’s excellent walk was in the Smokies. The trail is a familiar one, Lead Cove trail up to the AT. 3100’ elevation gain in 4.7 miles. I saw a bear, checked out the electric fence at Spence Field shelter, and shared clementines with some young hikers from England. Fun times! ” Wow an electric fence. Could make for an interesting midnight pee.

Mac and cheese with the precooked bacon or bacon bits would be good, as would spam.

Very cool OMO!!!

Astro, bring a silk bag liner if you have one. That's what I did. The blankets are heavy scratchy wool - pretty much horse blankets like Coach said.

Evan is my regular hiking partner

Quote from Astro: “I had been given good advice to use the Huts (both this year and in the past), but I had a hard time convincing myself to spend the $$$. Next year I will be using them. ” At least use Lakes of the Clouds. Otherwise it's a PIA getting over Mt Washington because it's either getting a work for stay, staying in the dungeon or hiking down a side trail a mile or two to camp.

LOC does not have lights in bunk areas. Also the huts compost leftover vegetable matter which is later spread over the areas to be revegetated, which is good.

I've stayed at the small cabins North Rim, Phantom Ranch Cabin, Bright Angel, Masawick and the other GC lodges except El Tovar. We have dined in El Tovar. Phantom Ranch is way cool. Been to the South Rim 4 or 5 times, North Rim once- I really loved the remoteness and serenity of the North Rim. Definitely going back.
