    Looking forward to the trip report. Congratulations ahead of time to both of you. When Thor finishes we'll get him posted on the Canine winter 48 list.

    I remember those reports but don't see his name on the members list now. Just a hunch, but you might check with Yvon, I have a feeling he might know him.

    A new danger in the Mountains? (Tick borne disease)

    Is this something else that we need to watch out for now? Get out your tick repellant folks. http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/20/health/new-virus-discovered/

    looking for a little advice - hiking in the southeast

    I moved to North Georgia from Maine a year and a half ago and have been hiking once or twice a week since then in GA, NC and TN. I've done the Algonquin hike you mention although good number of years ago and memories fade. Anyway, even though hikes here are generally less difficult than in the...

    hiking with prescription sunglasses

    This morning I was in the area so I stopped in my eyeglass place and asked them to look up my file. I found that I do have Transitions lenses but it's more complicated than that. Transitions offers four varieties. Transitions signature claims optimal balance between outdoor darkness and...

    hiking with prescription sunglasses

    I believe the glasses I have now are the Transition brand but most of my prior glasses have been other brands. I simply have not had a problem with the glasses when the day passes to twilight or night. In really bad weather above the treeline I have found it a bit difficult to read the GPS...

    hiking with prescription sunglasses

    My world is falling apart. I've been hiking with transition lenses for years and loved them. Now thanks to this thread I find they're no good. I fear I won't sleep tonight worrying about it. What can I do? :eek:

    If you could hike with a historical figure who would it be?

    I think Moses, one of the original solo peakbaggers would be interesting to hike with. From more recent times, I'd pick David Livingston.

    GPS Coordinate Sources

    Tuck, lest this statement about honesty bother you, keep in mind that while a half dozen on this site might debate the question, there will be "fifty" people out there hiking who will be following the tracks in the snow of a bushwhack such as Blackpond, Brutus and Engine Hill that others have...

    An interesting choice for winter clothing

    Actually, I think that's the problem, his weapon's not concealed. :)

    Should I Hike Solo?

    Alpanista, I moved down to North Georgia in the summer of 2013 and have been out on the trails in Georgia, NC, and TN a couple of times a week. It's true the trails, generally speaking, are not as rugged as the Whites, but the only place where I have encountered anyone that left me a bit uneasy...
