The last Grizzly attack on the AT was around 3000 BC. I think we're fairly safe now.

Any chance we could hold down the bad mouthing of AT suppliers and providers, especially ones that have helped hikers for decades?

Damn, you got me. I thought it was something important, like the AT, CDT and PCT.

The great Trail Town of Front Royal has a trolley from the trail during peak hiker season (May 15 thru July 15). Two daily stops at the Trail Crossing on Remount Road/ Route 522, weekdays 9:50AM and 2:20PM and Sat. and Sun. at 2:20PM and 5:20PM. Cost 50 cents. I took it last week, they were very friendly and even waited a short time for a slacker who will remain nameless.

This whole thread is 100% political. I'm not at all saying it should not be here, actually the direct opposite. Unopposed Corporate CEOs will eliminate almost all jobs to robots. This is not wild supposition, they do not hide this fact that his is their objective. We can avoid talking about it at our peril. It's hard to hike with no money.

Quote from max.patch: “such an easy concept that so many have trouble understanding. ” A single word is not a concept and in this case the word can mean the existence of the AT and/or this website or it can mean nothing. Even if it was a concept this word of all words is not in anyway "easy". You have politics or you have violence PERIOD. People forget this and I feel it is the main reason civilization has to struggle to survive. As you have pointed out this is not my website and I certainly wil…

Quote from Astro: “FWIW, I personally would consider this more about hiking and a park funding issue than arguing politics. ” Since the AT was born and 100% exists due to political issues such as funding and private vs. public land I feel a more reasonable definition than just a single word "politics" MIGHT be helpful to avoid eliminating essential information that may keep us from walking from Georgia to Maine on public roads and/or stopping at the gates of Baxter, and many other, what I call e…

Quote from max.patch: “the boss has declared this a no political website. take that schitt to whiteblaze. ” Sorry Mr. Alligator, please don't ban me.

Quote from Wise Old Owl: “does anyone not see the end result in charging $$$ down the road or a lottery? ” Yes, I do not see the end result is charging from THIS step. I see it as a way to make it possible to issue tickets to rule defying (mostly alcohol).

Quote from max.patch: “while the internet troublemakers succeeded in stirring up the forums, they created a real world problem. well meaning people would actually call and write the atc and ask those same questions as they honestly did not want to void their status as thru hikers. the atc did not want to be put in the position of telling one person that their 4 days off was ok and tell the next that their 5 days off was not. so they added the calendar year caveat (note-without looking i do not r…

Quote from max.patch: “tabletgate... the patriots tablets didn't work because of issues with the wi-fi. the broncos tablets worked just fine. the wireless network is provided by the broncos. ” No when they go out in Foxboring, which they do ALL the time, they claim they are run by the NFL. Believe me no one want's it to be the Broncos more than I do. That would be Glorious.

Quote from OzJacko: “reckon Blue Jay will at least be happy over the number of times Brady was hit. ” I ALMOST felt bad for him however he kept getting back up and for the first time ever he got tired of crying to the zebras (the big goof did it every time single time he dropped the ball). I have to give the Great Deflatriot credit, they beat the hell out of him, he's a tough SOB. I also have to give Miami (a Team I've hated since Morono), with out them I'm sure the Evil Empire had plans for muc…

Quote from Foresight: “I gotta hand it ot Blue Jay la Hate though, he/she is consistent ” Now hate is slightly too strong a word. Ethics not included, I believe Bela Check to be the best NFL coach of all time and Edleman to be the best receiver playing today and one of the best all time. I do however have extreme dislike for a Brady who every single sack cries to an official. Without the best coach, best offensive line, best receivers and best defense, he's Mark Sanchez after a butt fumble.

Quote from OzJacko: “Coach handling of timeouts by Kansas was shocking. ” You got that right, plus KC players were smiling. I used to say watching a game in Foxboring was like watching the WWF. This one was like third string wrasling. The Big "Star" on Ring of Honor VS. someone from from the alley out back. Just glad soooooo glad Foxboring is over for this year.

Quote from Dan76: “When the safety occurred, thought the Pack was keep misfiring. Rogers handled the stress well and carried forth in Packer tradition. ” Handled the stress well is a vast understatement. In the second half the ball is snapped 10 yards behind him so he has to do 6 amazing things while giant apes are closing: 1) Run back to the ball. 2) Get down and Pick up the ball (actually 2 things). 3) Get back up. 4) Run in the correct direction. 5) Locate a receiver. 6) Throw a strike. Washi…

Quote from max.patch: “wow. the end of the pittsburgh-cincinnatti game was unbelieveable. can't remember if i've ever changed the team i was rooting for during the course of a game. but with 18 seconds to go i did this time. whatta disgrace. ” I would have done the exact same thing as I've never hoped for the Steelers, but I needed them to get KC to Foxboring. It was a disgrace alright.

Quote from Astro: “Great article about what the 72 Dolphins had done since then. Lot more than just a bunch of cranky old men waiting to pop the cork on the champagne. ” They MAY have another reason to pot a cork. Next week they get the Deflatriots who no longer have an offensive line. I'm well aware this is a huge long shot, as Miami has sucked SINCE Shula, but they at least have a rare slight chance. With only the big gook to throw at and other big gooks in his face Brady has been known to pan…

Oh, I just thought of a way the participation trophy guys are correct. I go to the shoe store. They don't have my size. I leave. I did FAIL to buy shoes in a really overdone statement. If you want to make a big deal about what is clearly not a big deal, fine. That would make everyone on earth, a failure, hundreds of times a day. To see the world that way is waaaaay too sad.

Quote from Tuckahoe: “What an utter load of bovine scat! Might as well just hand out participation trophies. ” That is much sadder than Trump's Hair. Uh, you don't get any trophy no matter what happens. It's NOT a sport. Now I'm very well aware often egos become planet sized on the Big K, but that is your individual problem. As someone smarter than me has often said. "It's just walkin"

I'm sooo glad I got to say this first. There is absolutely no way to "Fail" a Thru. Even if you stop on the approach trail at least you are waaaay ahead if 99% of the human population
