I've hiked over 25% of the Appalachain Trail
    #5620363 - 05/12/06 08:27 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

I'm in Virginia now, I hear it's beautiful but I wouldn't know, all I've seen is fog and rain, today is gorgeous but I'm sitting in a public library instead of hiking  :confused:

Everyone needs a day off sometime.

Picture time is coming up.

that's really fucking awesome... good luck on the rest of your trip!  if i remember correctly (it's been about 5yrs since i read a guide), you should be coming into or just leaving some pretty hardcore steeps and boulders, right? 

i'm jealous.

tha AT and PCT are on my 'to-do before death' lists... :smile:

My plan now is to be a triple crowner by the time in 35 that gives me 10 more years.

Virginia is pretty mellow hiking, I've already hiked all the highest peaks on the trail, there's longer ascents coming up but not untill I cross the mason dixon line. I don't have any elevation maps handy but I'm sure this state is pretty tame, I've been pulling 20 milers like crazy lately. N.C. had some good steeps but I really haven't seen anything all that crazy yet.

You going to the gathering? I'm thinking of taking a vacation from the trail and coming with Jim and getting crazy for a few days.

I'm not sure.  Life is really topsy turvy for me right now. I havent worked for 1.5 weeks and got nothing lined up for Monday. :frown:  Rent is too iffy right now to be planning a trip to Ohio.  Sucks.

It's gotten real rocky lately, most of the time it's mud though, it's rained like 15 of the last 20 days out here!

I fell off a bridge last week, fell six feet into a rocky stream shooting down the mountian, it was a log bridge that was soaking wet and slick, somehow I lost my footing and went tumbling. I ended up with my arms pinned in my hiking poles, which were under me, my feet sticking up the mountain, laying on my pack all while a stream ran down the crack of my ass. I probably should of been hurt but I only ended up with some minor scraps and a bruised knee.

I've only seen one bear and that was in the Smokies.

Last week I started finding morels all over, I picked a few handfulls a couple of times. I pick ramps all the time, they are a onion like wild plant that taste like garlic, delicious addition to any trail food.

You should hike NJ > ME with me man, I need a photographer for when I hit Katahdin.

Bear that roved into Jersey cities shot dead in a backyard

ASSOCIATED PRESS

May 11, 2006

IRVINGTON, N.J. -- A 300-pound black bear that had been wandering urban New Jersey for two days was shot and killed by police Wednesday in a backyard on the edge of Newark after it reared up and appeared set to charge, authorities said.

Seven shotgun blasts rang out and the bear slumped to the ground in the small yard where it had been cornered.

The animal apparently had come from the countryside to the west, and its rambles had included Newark and Irvington -- two of the state's most densely populated areas.

Before the bear was killed, police chased three or four youngsters from nearby yards, and they worried because more than 1,000 neighborhood children would soon be walking home from school.

"Good God almighty!" Wanda Williams said upon learning a bear had been spotted on her street. "Why would a bear want to be in Newark?"

Jim Osorio, an animal control officer who gave the order to shoot, said he was ready to fire a tranquilizer dart before the bear assumed an aggressive position. Two officers opened fire with shotguns.

"He was jumping 6-foot fences like they were little curbs," Irvington Deputy Police Chief Steven Palamara said.

Last Saturday, a black bear captured in downtown Trenton was the first to be killed as part of the state's no-tolerance policy on bears in urban areas.
:lol:
