Heading off to the trail right now, sorry I didn't respond to the last few posts . . . but I will keep reading and posting while on the trail when I have access. We expect to be in Unionville, NY on Wednesday July 16. Gotta run, see you out there. sli74

I just went and looked at the trailjournals guestbook . . . we must've been on the same wavelength. :) My favorite cheese is pepperjack cheese, all gooey and melty on bread or tortiallas . . . yummy . . . gonna go make myself a grilled cheese sandwich after I post this. :) Can't wait to see...

Thanks Bobby . . . looking forward to seeing you out there. :) sli74

The very initial pain was in the arch and I solved that mostly after experimenting with about 7 different insoles. Then there was excruciating pain in my toes, and that was also cured after I realized my feet had grown in size, actually a whole size and a half, the third foot pain was also...

Looking forward to it Dr. D :D

Aww . . . bummer Jay . . . maybe we'll catch up at the Fall Gathering if we are done by then. sli74

Hey there, Yeah, that section can be a little confusing for hikers who haven't been in that area. I will post as we get closer cause we never turn down a hot shower and laundry. :) hugs back, sli74

Well, the best experience is a hard one to pick because it has all been so much fun but I will say hiking the many "balds" of NC and TN and being able to spend so much time with Brian. The worst experience is my foot pain. I have had terrible foot pain since leaving Springer. The pain has...

Awww . . . come on . . . hot melty cheese is the best :D sli74

Brian's original trailname from 2004 was Regular Brian. He didn't keep that name since he aquired it because of meeting Flying Brian Robinson. The name would not have been related to this year's hike so he chose to get a new name, however, some people on the trail use their existing...

According to my 2008 Thruhikers Handbook page 45 . . . "On a hike from Georgia to Maine (or vice versa), a thru-hiker will climb and descend a total of ninety-one miles, the equivalent of going from sea level to the summit of Everest and back more than sixteen times!" So, what you might be...

Darren (and Carmel), I just saw this and I am so sorry for your loss. After seeing that wonderful photo tribute, I know that the good memories are plentiful and the love in your family abundant enough to carry him in your hearts where he will live for a very long time. Hold each other, smile...

Solo in winter, I have always carried a down sleeping bag and stove and cookset. Now, I hike with Brian and we carry only 1 sleeping bag between the 2 of us. No matter what hike, we always have a sleeping bag and a stove, fuel and cookpot with us all winter. I used to do so much hiking alone...

Thank you for the clarification, David. The way it was "presented" to me by my family was as a good tracking feature and of course I responded appropriately to be "tracked". The "I am OK" feature sounds a lot more resonable. How much does the service for just that cost? Do you still pay a...

My family wants me to get one of these and keeps bugging me about it. I have even gotten 2 offers from cousins to buy it for my upcoming wedding, but ya know for some reason, I feel like it's kinda overkill. I don't know why I am having such a strong aversion to it, but I just don't want...

The films both nights were great but Monday was a little better than Tuesday, IMO . . . you will love them, I think. Sorry we missed you. I looked for you everywhere. It was good to see Arm, Stevo, JC and Dr. D . . . sli74
