July 30, 1983, 42 years ago today: A few miles later, the Appalachian Trail began the first of two long roadwalks today. I enjoyed my usual roadwalk weather of soaring temperatures, choking humidity and merciless sun. This stretch of simmering blacktop was only two miles but seemed longer.

July 30, 1983, 42 years ago today: The Appalachian Trail had been following the crest of Kittatinny Ridge roughly north-northeastward since it entered New Jersey. A few miles shy of the southern border of New York it swung towards the east, descending finally from the mountain.

Pics from my two-night #backpacking trip to Titcomb Basin. Had some nice weather (elusive for the Wind River Range) and climbed Fremont Peak, the third highest peak in Wyoming at 4191m/13750ft.

60km/37.5miles and ~2600m/8500ft of hiking/scrambling ascent in just under 48hrs. My feet hurt

July 29, 1983, 42 years ago today: The initial half-mile from Culvers Cap followed paved roads. The AT reentered the woods and began a rather long climb to the sixty-foot-tall Culver fire tower. I savored the 360-degree views for fifteen minutes as I cooled off and dried out in the stiff breeze that was whipping up there above the treetops.

July 29, 1983, 42 years ago today: Today was a steaming hell. The haze was so thick that despite a lack of overcast I only saw the sun for a total of about a half-hour throughout the entire day.

New on TheHikingAdventures.com: How powered exoskeletons could redefine trail access for older hikers, adaptive athletes, and trail crews. This is gear that changes lives.

July 28, 1983, 42 years ago today: There were frequent good viewpoints along the ridge crest, but I could not see for great distances through the steam. I did manage to get several decent pictures. This corner of New Jersey is surprisingly scenic. The northern half of New Jersey is one of most heavily developed areas of the country, much like the portion of Connecticut I call home.

July 28, 1983, 42 years ago today: The Appalachian Trail followed paved roads out of Delaware Water Gap into New Jersey. I passed a coke machine along the way. I soon reached the I-80 bridge over the Delaware River, which had a pedestrian walkway the AT followed across.

I can't do a poll as I only have 4 options on my app, but rating the pleasantness of different countries nationals on a 1-10 scale (1 horrible) where would you put people from the countries you've visited? please repost to widen coverage.

July 27, 1983, 42 years ago today: Took a shoe repair day off in Delaware Water Gap, PA.

From June 1, 1983: A couple of days either way and I wouldn't have been there for that massive peak daffodil bloom. I've had my share of bad weather luck on this hike — everyone does — but this hour made up for a lot.

July 27, 1983, 42 years ago today: Took a shoe repair day off in Delaware Water Gap, PA.

From June 10, 1983: Later, as I descended along the ridge, I encountered a herd of about fifteen wild horses grazing a grassy saddle between two rocky knobs.

July 26, 1983, 42 years ago today: The trail was steep and rocky in stretches, but the most spectacular scenery since Shenandoah helped. The trail skirted a series of high cliffs overlooking the deep cleft cut through the Kittatinny Mountains by the broad Delaware River.

1/3
July 26, 1983, 42 years ago today: The next two miles or so of trail was one unbroken rock pile. Using mind control techniques which will be described in my next book, The Principles of Psychotic Backpacking, I convinced myself that Blue Mountain was throwing everything it had into one final vain attempt to destroy me, and just kept plugging away, ignoring the beating my feet were taking.

Another pic from our backpacking trip in Desolation Wilderness. About 2 miles up looking back at the starting point. Weather was perfect.

live-posting the experience of doing all of my packing for an international move the night before my flight.

good news is my whole life fits into 40-50 liters

bad news is I have lived in the same apartment for 10 weeks and things are a bit spread out.

let's see how it goes! stopwatch is at 24′55″ at the moment.
