I hiked the LT last yea...Carl - What great weather. I hiked the LT last year during the same time period and enjoyed Hurricane Ernesto and its remnants for weeks. <BR/><BR/>The beautiful weather also brings challenges of finding drinking water - complicated by a cracked filter. I did meet several seasoned hikers who never filter. Not a recommendation, but in a pinch, I think we are safer that we know. As a fellow hiker was fond of saying, "I don't see any giardia..."<BR/><BR/>I am surprised at the lack of thru hikers. When I started last year. we had at least twelve just at Seth Warner the first night, all planning on going the distance. Plus there were many more who were just ahead of us. It made for a great first week of full shelters and incredible company. I am wondering if tenting it is keeping you from some of the thru traffic, both AT and LT. <BR/><BR/>However, I must add, I just came off from hiking the Lincoln Gap to Smugglers Notch section of the LT, and I too was surprised at the lack of thru hikers in either direction. <BR/><BR/>Be sure to cap off your first week with a pint of Guinness at the Inn at Long Trail! A MUST. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to future postings. <BR/><BR/>Redtail<BR/>LT 2006DVDVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707787556954864267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951519100116127582.post-14138257851802597702007-09-05T17:08:00.000-04:002007-09-05T17:08:00.000-04:00You go Carl!
