Quote from GoodGerman: “Finally made it out of Atlanta. First Border Patrol and Customs gave me a hard time and then I had to spend the night at the airport because of the *snowpocalypse* (2inches of snow and icy roads really). Was totally worth it. Im with a friend now I haven't seen in 3 years for various reasons. So happy but also sad because I realized how much I missed her Will hit the trail on Monday now because I still have to get a cellphone and other stuff. Anyway.. Dacota Joe, I have y…

Has anyone ever been to Cumberland Mountain State Park?

Hey guys, what is going on today? I hope the delete post button was not meant for me! gif.016 I only post good things. Okay, sometimes they are long winded. GUILTY! gif.011

Wow, I can't wait to get dusted, not! But that picture looks so serene!

Quote from TrainWreck: “You'll be glad you have them in the Smokies :)” I'm sure I will. Extra protection from deep snow is welcomed by me! Thank you so much!

Quote from milkman: “Quote from moose717: “Quote from milkman: “Quote from moose717: “This looks like fun. I may join in ... sans hubby, just have to check my schedule at home and see if the fam can do without me for another long weekend!” Well you know you got a place to stay and you'd be more than welcome and it be a pleasure to meet you. Just let us know. P.S. don't forget your bike. :)” My bike ???? I have a brand new bike I got for my birthday 2.5 years ago. I've been on it twice. I don't h…

Quote from TrainWreck: “DJ, I sent out the gaiters via USPS yesterday to your mom's address. You should receive them on Thursday. Sorry for not responding sooner. I haven't had much time to be online lately.” Thank you Trainwreck, I really appreciate it! Okay, then I am re-planning my departure date in order to collect the gaitors.

Trebor gave me one of his stoves. It works great once you learn how much HEET to throw in it so you don't waste fuel and it is ultra light!

Quote from Trebor: “Extended weather forecast for North Georgiaappalachiantrailcafe.net/index.php/Attachment/705/” I am shooting for a Thursday morning departure from Crossville to get back to Lake Winfield Scott Rec. Area and take the lake trail back up to Jarrard Gap and up to Blood Mountain Shelter. That is my plan anyhow.

Quote from GoodGerman: “Interesting, that's a lot of rain. I'm curious if February will be as dry as January was. :)” I'm curious as well. I would much rather have falling snow then raindrops when it is cold, but to me that is just a personal preference. I guess both can be persistently annoying, but I know I will have plenty of soakings coming my in the warmer months. I have been hiking around in the falling snow today, did a 5 mile stretch, and my Outdoor Research rain jacket works great for k…

Quote from CoachLou: “Quote from milkman: “Quote from DakotaJoe: “ Quick question: Are there any towns that you would recommend not using as a re-supply point and why? Just curious.” Roundup, Montana - too long a hitch.” Marta says it's snowing again.........................and it's been warmer back east than in The big sky for the past month! The last time that happened our spring was in drought!!!!!” Yeah, Montana is a long hitch!

Morning everyone! Checking in today to see what is going on. I see everything is running flawlessly today. Kudos on that. I will be heading back to Jarrard Gap this week. I was going to try and make it there Wednesday, but my ride is afraid to drive in bad weather and thinks it is not going to happen, but I will keep you all updated. My ride also does not want to drive into the mountains so I guess I am getting dropped off somewhere south of Blairsville. I have been hiking around with my pack on…

Quote from Rasty: “Quote from DakotaJoe: “Wow, I like the new look. What prompted the major over-haul?” I like to poke things” I see that, You sure did poke this with a sharp stick! Looks good!
