I used "airplane mode" as well. Works great.

While not for everyone, I really like my Spot (Gen2). Reliable from most any clearing, I've used it all over the lower 48.

Date of Hike: 7/5/16 Trail Conditions: Trails in great shape, water running in brooks, could have filtered if needed, but easily crossed with dry feet. (Shelburne, Long Trail/AT/Pico Spur/Killington Spur) 12.0 miles, about 2,800 vertical, 6 hours Special Equipment Required: None Comments...

Ironically, the first time I saw you and Lauky was on Lincoln/Lafayette as I finished my 20 year adventure to finish the 48. Thanks for the extra smile on a special day!

Great stories. At least a few of us good folks left. Always pay it forward!

It has also been awhile for me, but have been there twice and I concur that you'd make it. Beautiful spot. Enjoy it.

Was there on a Saturday night in late July, had the place to ourselves...great spot.

While it has pretty much been stated...I'd suggest if you like trails and don't mind crossings, stay on the trails. If you enjoy a BW, hit the woods. Agreed on the BP whack, stay LEFT as you head to OH. Do NOT follow the Orange "blazes". Either way a great trip and you'll see the base of...

Personally, I prefer to have a compass bearing when doing a whack...but having a GPS coordinate can help give some a target. I seem to have much more successful off trail ventures using the map and compass.

Agreed that ladder restoration is highly unlikely. Personally, I only ascend BLT and ideally on dry days. It is an awesome trail.

Always a good idea to get to Guyot relatively early as it is a very popular spot given the few options in the Pemi. Sunday arrival will help. Enjoy!

Amen brother.

I would say Cabot, Garfield or Zealand. Last two are just long...

You will be fine at Unknown, had the place to ourselves on a July Saturday night last year...

That is a LOT of vertical to the site, at least it feels like it anyway...I thought that was a very reliable spring, was up there during a very dry spell a few years back. Have a great trip.
