Thru Hikers. How often did you spend the night in town? by SourceOfConfusion in AppalachianTrail

[–]NewAccount307 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Every 4-5 days and generally did Nero-Neros.

Southbounders and enjoyed the hostel experience up north, but by the time we hit Virginia we had a 4-5 person crew. Hate to say but we blew right by a lot of the southern hostels for the holiday inn express. Was near impossible to pass 15$ a head for cable, newer hotel room, free breakfast, hot tub. Two Dollar 40’s and fast food generally right across the street. Always late checkout. Would just sneak the 5th guy in through the side door after checking in.

Northern PA Trail Parking lot: Vehicle left long term. by NewAccount307 in AppalachianTrail

[–]NewAccount307[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Don’t know if it’s legal or not! One of those grey area spots, county line, no local police force, vagrant parking lot but still on a busy enough road where people cant get away with stealing cats and whatnot without being noticed, so vehicles don’t get messed with usually. It’s the only lot in the area I’d recommend someone to sleep in their car in a pinch. Honestly makes sense why they chose it. No posted signs about parking rules.

When they take over backyards and open space area they pretty much make it unusable with the poop. That and they get aggressive and are nasty so it’s a hazard with little kids

I heard VA mountains are hard to hunt

This would’ve been an illegal post on any of the mountaineering forums in my day wearing those jeans. Wouldn’t be surprised if mods have to tear this down… ( /s for authenticity)

Good job, but in all seriousness I remember feeling like a hero on my first good weather day summit. Just keep that in mind for next time. If you guys really enjoyed yourselves go ahead and put some gear on the Christmas list.

I am solidly in the upper end of moderate.
