pretty sure some of the old VFTT gatherings and hikes came close to matching this

This is a far better proposal than the original idea, which was total lunacy. I still think this idea is dangerous in that I suspect people will still get in trouble from time to time, requiring SAR.

I filled out the survey about a week or so ago.

I think the key is that the CTA really, really needs to listen to the outdoor community here, and not repeat some of the major mistakes made by the...

Hopefully the first thing the new president does is change the logo. The public overwhelming hates the new one. I now worry that the Trustees are getting an arrogant leader that doesn't really listen...

Just wanted to note that if you wanted practice, there's a great (self-guided) place in Kentucky near Red River Gorge that you can do this. Some of the most fun I've ever had. Also a guided tour in...

Sounds like the weirdest dude to hit the WMNF since Gary Moody.

looks great Tim!

When the original VFTT logo files were lost, I had my friend design a new one, and that logo is what was used on the t-shirts and Teejay's stickers.

Here you go!

That's awesome! If I remember correctly, I think I ended up losing like $200 on those. Don't really care though because people did seem to like them. Only six orange ones were made - I wonder what...

Thanks for the heads up on this. Added it to the wish list. His first book is the one of the best SAR-related books of all time, anywhere.

If only FB would die and VFTT returned to full strength. I contributed a fair amount to VFTT from about 2004 through 2010, and miss those days quite a bit. Met lots of people and drank tons of beer....

just a man completely in his element

on a side note: damn you facebook for killing 75% of the VFTT fun

On a side note, I'd love to see Guyot add an advanced permit system. It is such a zoo there these days.

Hello All!

I just wanted to announce that the new edition of the New England Waterfalls guidebook just hit the market about 2 weeks ago.

It took over 2 years to get this thing done. During...

Start charging $5/day to park at Arethusa Falls, Falling Waters, and other high-target parking areas in state parks in/near the Whites and use that money to fund F&G better. Problem solved.

us2 and I93 are far too different. I see no safety issues with Appalachia and there are so many trail options that you can easily beat the crowds.

Four of us spent 2 nights backpacking from Zealand Road to Sawyer River Road from Sunday 8/5/2018-Tuesday 8/7/2018.

Here was our general route (FYI - I'm not including every single trail in...

This will likely be offset by a decrease in base funding to the WMNF unfortunately. The latest Trump budget calls for massive funding cuts to agencies that manage federal public lands.

Done. Thanks for keeping the site going, Tim.

My favorite part of Yellowstone is parking at Old Faithful and walking all 6-8+ miles of trails that stem from there in Upper Geyser Basin (including across the park road to visit other areas so you...

It will be very interesting to see how this progresses. I am personally a big fan of huts, so long as they are kept relatively cheap so that all can afford to enjoy them. And if this movement...

It's getting expensive, but I personally think St. George Utah is the best base camp in the USA. It's only a few hours to places like the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Zion National Park, Grand...

Are you sure you can only hack 4 days? The southwest is amazing and has a lifetime of world-class hikes (I'm not exaggerating).

If you only have 4 days, here is what I would recommend

I’d love to see some pics of Katahdin Falls if somebody ends up bushwhacking that side of Katahdin.

This is what happens when you vote republican. It hasn’t always been that way but that’s how it seems to be now. This forum is no place for politics but conservation is something all voters should be...
