There are black bears there too friend. You can't let things like that freak you out, or you'll never go and never enjoy yourself.

Just take along a recording of the sound track from the movie...

Odds are, you wouldn't have to hit it, just shoot in the general area or in the air. Unlike brown bears (none there), most black bears scare off fairly easily. The one that attacked that family tried...

If I decide to go, I might just take you up on the offer.

By the way, your not one of those toothless meth lab guys are you? :lol:

Yeah, I won't hike after dark, the bears use the hiking trails at night. You also have to be wary around the berry patches. I saw an article with a picture of a teenage girl (maybe 14) killed a black...

Sounds just like a bear maybe sizing things up. That's why I go packed.

As far as darkness goes, it's pitch black, especially in the valleys. You literally can't see your hand in front of your...

I just googled it and found it'll be released on June 10, 2010. Was surprised to see it as I hadn't heard about it. Looks like the only significant change is that for $500 + subscriber fees, you'll...

For us, we were content to hike 8 miles a day. It allowed us the time to swim, enjoy views and other stuff along the way.

I've been considering planning a hike around fall (before hunting season)...

You can do that kind of mileage, but it'll be really tough and you can count on being beat up at the end of the day and your brother may not have such a great time doing that kind of mileage on his...

You can camp at Bob's Bald. I'm unsure about the rest as my hikes were mainly in Citico.

Yeah, Fodderstack can dish it out, especially after hiking from 900 ft at the bottom of North Fork to 5200 ft to Fodderstack. It's listed as difficult at 12.2 miles. I've always wanted to hike it...

I've been told Brush Mountain\Jeffery Hell is tough.

Yeah, on our second trip went Grassy Gap, South Fork, North Fork (don't ever hike up North Fork, take my word for it), FodderStack, Bob's Bald....

I had no difficulty at all.

In fact we were in a valley, when we lost part of the North Fork Citico Creek Trail, even after extensive searching. I turned on my GPS, got a lock and we were able to...

I believe they do. I know for sure that Delormes TOPO 5, 6, 7, 8 has the areas trails. When I had my Brunton Multinavagator, I downloaded a route I created for it---very good idea to do this becsue...

I'm telling you; you won't be dissapointed friend. Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock, NC is right next door to Citico Creek Wilderness Area, TN. The Fodderstack Trail is actually the border between the 2...

Haha, you have a good sense of humor. I hope everyone has a great time. Remember, it's Black Bear country and you can count on running into a lot of skeeters and ticks that time of year, so plan...

My mistake, please accept my apology.

Perhaps, you should stay home and not be a contributor to it's destruction. I mean, you are deeply concerned, horrified and mortified---aren't you?:thumbup1:

Actually, you're miss-informed. That isn't smog, it's the thin shroud of vapour that forms due to the high humidity, especially during the summer months.
