Seattle vs. Denver should be a entertaining game. Hoping for a Bronco win.

Quote from Trebor: “I know you got ant in your pants and have to keep moving but don't rush it. The trail isn't going anywhere and if you re-injure your back you might ruin this whole thing. Trust me, there is a lot more ice waiting for you.” With that being said......Go Joe Go!!!

I know you got ant in your pants and have to keep moving but don't rush it. The trail isn't going anywhere and if you re-injure your back you might ruin this whole thing. Trust me, there is a lot more ice waiting for you.

Joe just posted on Facebook that he feels much better and is working on finding a way back to the trail soon. No exact date yet.

I figure that if I do some pretty simple modifications and add my tarp I would have a shelter system that weighs a little over three pounds. That's not too bad. And you are correct, I am tall. 6'6" comes in handy for changing lightbulbs or getting something from the top shelf but it sucks when looking for gear.

Quote from Trebor: “Quote from Tuckahoe: “Y'all just made me think of something that I will have to try when I get home. These days a lot of the sugar free liter+ drink powders come in a tall but slender plastic canister. I'm thinking they might be perfect enough and just the right size the serve as a storage box for my Sawyer filter and bag and then double as a water scoop when necessary.” I use a Dansani water bottle that I cut to size. Works perfect and keeps my pack dry when stored upright i…

I just saw this hammock on YouTube. It looks okay for 60 bucks and has a attached bug net. It weighs in at 2.5 lbs but can get lighter. Does anyone know anything about this hammock? I would only be using one for the occasional weekend trip.

Talked to DJ earlier today via text. He's in good spirits but bummed out that something else happened that's interfering with his hike. I suggested he do what he can to invest in some trekking poles and maybe some micro spikes. Apparently he was carrying a ton of supplies that he was given. He thinks this extra weight may of added to the injuries.

Hey TDJ. Tell Joe that while he is resting at his moms to try and find some trekking poles. They will really help keep him from falling down so much. WalMart has them for 20 bucks....

Sorry to hear this news, but glad to hear that he listened to the other hikers advice. Get Well Soon Joe!!

Quote from milkman: “Trebor - any update?” i sent him a text early this evening to see if he made it to Blood Mountain. No reply...

Didn't the new owners refurbish the hostel a few months ago?

Quote from TrainWreck: “OK, just keep us updated here so we'll know when he's getting close to Neels Gap :)” DJ sent me a text today and expressed his gratitude for your offer to pay for a night at MtnX, however he chose not to take you up on it. I guess he is trying to do this without staying at Hostels. Once again he says thanks.

Quote from TrainWreck: “Hey, Team Dakota Joe! Tell Dakota Joe his overnight stay at the Mountain Crossings hostel at Neels Gap is on me. Please let me know via this thread what day he'll be arriving at Neels Gap so I can call ahead and pay for his bunk! Go Joe go!
