To keep things going I hope it's ok if I post another pic. I think that the State and between what major towns, roads will suffice.appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…b6d61ef6611bd5be8eb75accb

Quote from Dmax: “Ok, ok South of Damascus, north of Davenport Gap. It was taken down within the last ten years. I don't remember which year. I thought it was just a few, but time flies.... ” At first I thought it might be that little ramshackle shelter between Double Springs Shelter and Abington Gap Shelter. Went past it in 2009.

Quote from Astro: “Hike the VA Triple Crown and get your vehicle towed. I am sure the overcrowding resulting from the shutdowns were probably making the roads less safe. https://roanoke-com.cdn.ampproject.org/ ” Thanks, I let my sister-in-law know that she should let all her kids know. Quote from IMScotty: “My favorite Sean Connery movie was "The Man Who Would be King" A classic worth seeking out. ” Me too

Took me a little bit to figure out that you were going North to South. LOL. Last year (2019) I did Catawba VA311 to Daleville. I'd previously been to MacAfee's Knob 2 other times on day hikes so I really enjoyed hanging out for awhile enjoying the view from Tinker Cliffs.

Quote from max.patch: “Quote from Trillium: “I was doing this on my vacation and after 4 days of rain, upon reaching Woody Gap, I called the Hiker Hostel and had them pick me up. ” What a rough start -- 4 days of rain! Glad you kept at it! Have you hiked all of GA? ” Yes, I've hiked from Springer to Wayah Gap. I also hiked from Springer to Amicalola on NY's Day 2010 with several women from the old Women's Hiking List. I've also done a section in TN, several sections in VA, started in Harper's Fe…

Quote from IMScotty: “....since I never explicitly answered Trillium's post, I am going to call it out. That was the Stover Creek Shelter. ” Yes, Scott is correct. That was my very first night ever backpacking. As I had never backpacked before, I was somewhat leery and had some fears, particularly about animals during the night. So, one of the women on WB, whose name escapes me, organized a Hen Hike, and so I thought that if I went with a group of others for the first time that it would be a gre…

Quote from IMScotty: “Speaking of drought, the fall foliage is turning unnaturally early. ” fall foliage has been a few weeks later than usual here. Still looking good but not quite as bright as a wk ago. As far as the weather, some would say we're having Indian summer this week, temps in the 60's. I think it's just climate change. Intending to get out and take advantage! I'm a person who definitely agrees about Neil Young's voice. I either fast forward or mute when he's the main vocals on songs…

Quote from IMScotty: “Everyone looks so bright, new and shiny. I think you are in Georgia Trillium ” Yes, we were in Georgia.

Well, since the likelihood that I could ever guess correctly is slim and none and slim left the building, I'm taking Max Patch up on his directive. April Fools 2008 appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…b6d61ef6611bd5be8eb75accb

Quote from IMScotty: “Quote from Astro: “At least it was not a deer.I don't even want to even imagine the damage a moose could do up in ME. ” This article provides some details... newengland.com/today/living/ne…ironment/brake-for-moose/ ” Interesting article. Glad I live in Michigan for many reasons, not the least of which is that the chance of me hitting a moose in Michigan is very slim. Although we did see one once, up in the UP, on the way to Taquamenon Falls.

When our daughter was in elementary school, 1993 if memory serves, we camped in the Cades Cove campground for about 5 days. Great time. We drove the Cades Cove loop several times. Once we went to the parking lot for the Abrams Fall trail and hiked it. Another time we just drove the loop watching for the wildlife; we saw deer and about 4-5 bears. There also was a concession where you could ride horses on a trail ride, my memory is that just my daughter and I did so and the husband declined. Even …

Quote from odd man out: “En route to Raleigh we see the sign that says Blue Ridge Parkway. Mrs OMO: "you didn't tell me we were going by the BRP". OMO: You can't really drive from MI to Raleigh an NOT cross it. Mrs OMO: Can't we go for a drive on it. OMO: Well it goes from SNP (points over left shoulder) to GSMNP (points over right shoulder) and we are going to Raleigh (points straight ahead). Mrs OMO: How about for just a little? OMO: What time do you want to get to Raleigh? Mrs OMO: As soon as…

Quote from odd man out: “Unfortunately my days at MSU were during the dark days just post Magic. ” eww, that must have been pre Scott Skiles, pre the NC in hockey and during the Muddy fb era. Definitely not a good time for Spartan sports. But on the bright side, you were on one of the prettiest campuses in the nation.

Quote from IMScotty: “I did the JMT in 2015 TW. An exceptional experience. If you want to read my TrailJournal it is here... trailjournals.com/journal/entry/518799 ” I've opened a tab on my IPad with your TJ. Now I'm set for some good cyberhiking this week.

Quote from Trillium: “Quote from max.patch: “I love basketball but I have zero interest in watching NBA players playing H-O-R-S-E or NBA players playing basketball video games against each other. I also have no interest in watching a replay of a game that was played a couple of months ago, but at least that makes sense and I can see why that might attract viewers. ” I have a number of games dvr'd and earlier this week, I watched the Spartans who were #3 at the time beat #5 Notre Dame. This was N…

Quote from max.patch: “Quote from IMScotty: “appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…b6d61ef6611bd5be8eb75accb And one last photo. I will not identify this because everyone in Boston knows the moment captured here, but does the rest of the country? Let me know. ” OK, who here works for ESPN? espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/291468…ontent=link&ICID=ref_fark ” Well, once again ESPN blows. Where were the nominations for all the great Wings?

And for the presidential election. 45 can't manage money either and I believe that the people who voted for Kemp likely voted for Trump as well. So, I don't think that managing money had much to do with the outcome of the Georgia gubernatorial race. More likely, color and gender. And I daresay, that Abrams would have managed the response to the pandemic better.

Quote from odd man out: “Quote from Traffic Jam: “I found my forever fiddle, the one that I will live with for the rest of my life! She was made by Robert Glier, Jr. in Cincinnati in 1926. She sounds so rich, resonant, and sweet (despite me)...a million times better than the previous one. I anticipate many years of happiness. ” How wonderful. How about the bow? Did you also upgrade that too? If you are like me the bow is worth more than the instrument. My bow is by GF Lotte (French). My cello is…

Quote from Astro: “Quote from rhjanes: “Quote from LIhikers: “70 mph ? Our old VW is lucky to get to 60 going down hill and with the wind. I once knew someone with an even older VW bus who got a speeding ticket. They used a photocopy to pay the fine and framed the original speeding ticket...lol ” LOL. How about "Do the best you can do". Point really is to drive it long enough to get everything hot, operating temperatures. That means gear box/auto, rear gears, shoot even the shocks need "exercise…
