Hello from a for Scouter, and Eagle scout in SC. You may want to put your wallet in a safe and for get the combination before you explorering this site any further. I started with an ENO singlenest but have gone to a Warbonnet Blackbird. had a lot of comfy nights in the ENO and I still use it for hanging in the backyard and day hikes.

Your right. We hiked the NCT from red bridge trailhead north to the MRT little mac bridge and south on the MRT back to start. 20 mile loop or so they say. We figure 9 miles on day one. 8miles on day two and hiked out Sun morning. Hope that clears up our trek. I have always heard it referred to as the NCT MRT loop.

Hey Tree,
thanks for the quick response.

You are absolutely correct in saying the whole and proper trail name/description.
But so many times people aren't specific in saying the whole name that it can lead to mass confusion.

I have actually experienced three people talking about thier hike along the Manistee River and they think they are talking about the same trail, but in actuality they are talking about three different spots.
