    Fall Foliage 2024

    I don't care to drive that road, to rough for my taste and I really don't need to. I'm happy with the approach from 49 to Sandwich Dome.

    (Another) New AMC Logo!

    Fashionable? I can assure you, that is NOT the reason there are people who do not support the AMC's mission.

    Fall Foliage 2024

    I was just in the Twin Mt area which is supposed to close to peak. I found the colors muted and yellow to orange with very few reds. Granted, I'm not really into foliage, but it's been a few years since I have seen incredible colors, maybe global warming doesn't help foliage. I was always under...

    (Another) New AMC Logo!

    First off, they should have left the original logo alone. The replacement for the original was awful, looked like a transgender bathroom sign. This latest version is good, I like it, better than the original? no. The AMC is well........... ahh forget it.

    Caps Ridge

    I support the Wilderness policies, I appreciate the concept. Outside of the Wilderness, I support the use of blazes. Do I want to explain my reasons? Not really.

    Caps Ridge

    I know what the Wilderness policies are, he did not say in a Wilderness.

    Caps Ridge

    There are many reasons that is not a good idea.

    Caps Ridge

    Those signs are not on every trail that enters the alpine zone, in fact most trails do not have them. As far as blazes go, that's a trail maintenance issue and this seems to be the norm in many areas. I've been repeatedly commenting in netrailconditions that trails need to be re-blazed. The Caps...

    Clingmans Dome is now Kuwohi

    I guess my post was not as defined as it could have been. While my comments on the Souths history stand, that's not what I didn't care for. I just found the mountains less than interesting, I mean the Whites are a lot more dramatic and most of my vacations are out west and there is no comparison...

    Clingmans Dome is now Kuwohi

    I never went south of PA, took a right there and headed west. Nothing about the South sounded interesting to me. This year, I didn't feel like driving to CO, so me and my dog went South to VA. All my previous ideas of the South came to fruition and I couldn't leave the area fast enough. The...

    Co-workers leave Colorado man behind on mountain summit during office retreat

    My coworker's would do the same thing, don't trust any of them, lol. I love being a soloist, stress free hiking and great conversations with my dog.

    Less daylight every day now

    Fine by me, tough summer on the trails for my dog, too hot. Cold temps, K10's and fast hikes here we come. I don't even take vacations in the summer anymore.

    Looking for a new hiking map app

    I see the same maps, I've been using for years, so I guess I'm not sure what's the issue.

    Looking for a new hiking map app

    Forgive my ignorance, but I pay for the pro version of Alltrails and used it yesterday, I didn't notice anything different?

    The Horn

    Great hike up the Horn today. Rain off and on, but not too bad. Mud as usual, great cool temps, it was chilly traversing the ridge being wet in the wind, but it was perfect for my dog. Our third time up and it's still fun.

    Drop a Dime

    You have to admit, nobody can thread drift like VFTT members. It will be even worse now, without peakbagger to keep us in line. He was a great admin.

    VA hiking

    Me and my trusty sidekick are heading to VA to hike McAvee Knob next month. I confess to doing a shoddy research job on VA. Anyone have a cool peaks in the state let me know, I am familiar with the peaks near the knob.

    Drop a Dime

    During the beginning of Covid when everyone thought it's was like Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman, I still hiked. I carried everything with me and didn't stop at any stores or bathrooms. I remember dragging my dog out into the woods so I could, well poop and he would watched me with very...
