Quote from twistwrist: “I found out today my station for the first half of the season (7 weeks) is at Amicalola State Park. Eighty percent of my time will be spent at the visitor's center, 20 percent on the bottom half of the approach trail.

My last 8 weeks will be on trail as a roving ridgerunner north of Neel's Gap. Sweet. ” that's really cool…

Quote from rafe: “Quote from TrafficJam: “I haven't found evidence that designating new wilderness areas under the Wilderness Act will displace people. If anyone can cite sources, please let me know. ” I've said it before but in my opinion, one of the most valuable functions of the trail is simply conservation -- quite independent of any hiking that takes place on it.

Quote from Wise Old Owl: “I am beginning to guess now have the life of the party when hiking with a war hammer on the trail. This being acknowledged, where is the rest of the uniform? would this be a good choice for a hike? chaos_warrior___warhammer_larp_costume_by_krushak_dagra-d7dqhif.jpg ” As long as he's wearing 0% cotton everything is OK

Quote from AnotherKevin: “Quote from CoachLou: “Nice, good test. I've been in mine in the single digets, but I can't say in the minuses.

Quote from JimBlue: “I've watch 'How It's made' and there are only a few hundred possibilites for key locks. I think it makes it too easy for criminals to open key locks.

Quote from JimBlue: “I have some Permethrin spray. I was thinking about spraying just hiking shorts and boots. Deet for the mosquitoes on shirt and hat. ” Spray all clothing with permethrin. Ticks can climb trees.
