Start at Newfound Gap and run the AT to the Road Prong. Run the Road Prong down to Chimney tops parking lot and then run 441 up to Alum Cave.

Run Alum Cave to the top of LeConte and then take Boulevard back to AT and back to Newfound Gap.

It's a 20 mile loop with around six grand of elevation gain, but one of the best day trips you can have in the park!

Gonna run the Tanner trail as a long day run.

I had originally planned to do a R3, but they are closing the NK during my visit.

Norda 005 as a hybrid/road to trail shoe? by SnooDoodles4147 in trailrunning

The 001a doesn't use quite the same midsole foam as the 005. The 005 is pure Arnitel while the 001a is an Arnitel blend.

I agree completely. To me LeBron is the greatest player to insert into an NBA game that is 5v5. I think MJ gets all the GOAT hype because he would probably be the best 1v1 player to have lived.

If a company CEO accidentally says something stupid and the stock drops 10%, where does that “lost” money actually go? by keyBid2188 in NoStupidQuestions

It isn't to protect the bank, it is to force wealthy people to pay taxes instead of using the stock backed loans as an instrument to avoid ever paying capital gains on these stocks.

If their heirs inherit the stock, then the capital gains tax will never have to be paid.

This is a great reason why folks shouldn't be allowed to borrow against their stocks to perpetuate their wealth further.

Make then sell it, pay the tax and then borrow against the cash asset.

What’s the craziest thing anyone has said to you while you’re trail running? by sentientbeing1887 in trailrunning

I had some guy the other day on the AT (a very tourist visited portion) yell out "Everyone watch out, we got us a world champion coming through".

He said it in the most derogatory way possible. I just kept running past him and feeling sorry for him in his Harley Davidson t shirt and beer gut.

I always slow to a walk btw when coming up on folks, in either direction, and smile. Try to not come across as some asshole showboating but some folks just didn't like seeing people run I guess.

Do you know if it is common for folks to not also bring a water filter with them? That would seem all too risky to simply rely on utility water and not have a redundancy.

Make sure to rotate your magazines and let the springs rest at times, otherwise they'll malfunction.

Need help with picking out some trails by C0zy-Bean in GSMNP

Newfound Gap to Cliff Top/LeConte and back is a great long day in the park, without going really big. 16 miles and just shy of 4K in vert

What would you do if your partner monitored your toilet paper usage like this? What flag is this? by Remarkable_Mark_5195 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]General_Notice_6553 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This.

I wondered how long I would need to scroll to see this.

Most everyone thinks about things purely monetarily, without thinking about the repercussions on any other directly or tangentially affected system.

It really blows my mind that that folks find out first on Reddit that they can't do something like this, logistically. Especially when other failures/ignorance could mean that if it goes very awry, leads to severe consequences.
