    Kudos to you, warbonnet owner and hiker.

    Red Hat---that’s a significant personal accomplishment. You through-hiked the entire AT. Wonderful! Congratulations.

    Looking forward and please post some photos. I am from Mass Nh and love that portion of the trail—The Whites---and even that alone is a huge feat, given the elevation changes.

    I’m curious—hammocks are allowed anyplace along the trail for camping, or only designated areas? Anyone ever hassle you, Red, about using the WBBB—you know, park rangers, etc?

    A Walk In The Woods, indeed---good job, RH.

    Congratulations on the accomplishment Red Hat! I remember seeing you when you came through Nashville this year at the WB dinner and the slide show afterward at REI. Certainly was a walk of faith!

    Your trail journal entry of 3/16/10 shows a great picture of the WBBB and the tarp. Did you find that the Deluxe was enough of a tarp even up in the Smokies with the snow?

    Again, congratulations on the accomplishment!

    Thanks for the link to her journal HikerRanky.
    I just spent an hour there, absolutely fascinating.
    I'll go back when I have more time.
