The Great Divide Trail: December 2007
http://thegreatdividetrail.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
The Great Divide Trail. Hiking the Great Divide Trail is becoming more popular every hiking season. I hiked the trail in 2001 when I was the only thru-hiker. It is a great extension to the Continental National Scenic Trail and could possibly be done in the same season. Wednesday, December 19, 2007. Great Divide Trail- Dustin Lynx Narrative. The Amazon Outdoor Store. I believe there is a revised edition out or coming out soon. Check with Rocky Mountain Books. Border to northern British Columbia, near Prin...

Continental Divide Trail News: Two Lads From Across the Pond Take The Challenge
http://continentaldividetrailnews.blogspot.com/2008/07/two-lads-from-across-pond-take.html
Thursday, July 17, 2008. Two Lads From Across the Pond Take The Challenge. All European hikes seem like a walk in the park compared to the adventure Paul Hayton of Eaglescliffe has embarked on. The 31-year-old senior designer is on a mission to cover 3,100 miles on foot from Mexico to Canada. Carrying all they need to survive on their backs, the duo are walking more than 20 miles a day, six days a week for six months through mountainous terrain. The former Egglescliffe School pupil and Yarm Army Cadet, s...

Wednesday, January 2, 2008. CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL / CUBA, NEW MEXICO. This delicious looking breakfast is what I had as I left Cuba and headed up into the San Pedro. It was a great breakfast but the worst case of food poison I have ever experienced. From: Crossing the Divide. More CDT News and Info). Posted by Dick Mallery. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://backpackeronline.blogspot.com/2007/12/winter-hikes-exercise-in-contrasts-by.html
Saturday, December 29, 2007. Winter hikes an exercise in contrasts. You can make the 10 essentials list an even dozen by adding rain gear and hiking poles. If you are a fair-weather hiker, you are missing half the fun. While you stay inside where it's warm all winter, your favorite summer trails are taking on new personalities. Plus, winter hikes keep you from getting depressed," said Jonathan Guzzo of the Washington Trails Association. "You are less likely to feel the burden of winter.". In the winter, ...

Bird Feeding 101: Mistletoe has more to do with the birds and the bees than just kissing.
http://birdfeeding101.blogspot.com/2008/09/mistletoe-has-more-to-do-with-birds-and.html
From Richard Mallery a.k.a. Dick E. Bird's book Birdfeeding 101. Everything you wanted to know about feeding birds but were afraid to ask. Sunday, September 21, 2008. Mistletoe has more to do with the birds and the bees than just kissing. Scientists are discovering that mistletoe has more to do with the birds and the bees than just kissing. Now the U.S. Geological Survey—which also does biological research—will go high-tech with satellite tracking to help explain why. Without the desert mistletoe, they w...

BACKPACKER ONLINEZINE: March 2007
http://backpackeronline.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 9, 2007. Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park. I found not only the wolf study interesting but also their personal life, raising a family on the island during the summers. Hikers are lucky to see a wolf, or hear them for that matter. They blend extremely efficiently into the island’s surroundings. At night it is more common to hear the haunting sound of the loon and the waves lapping on shore seeping through the tent walls. Another plus for late August is the fact that the weather can still...

BACKPACKER ONLINEZINE: June 2007

Sunday, June 3, 2007. Continental Divide Trail- White Goat Wilderness. I often think about space in time. It takes a leap of faith and much effort to place yourself into special moments during your life. This valley between two unnamed passes would be one of my moments. I was gone at first light and never saw a soul. The trail was a mud bog and full of wolf tracks. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought the wolves must run the trail all night. There were miles of prints. Hiking a...I soon discovered the t...

BACKPACKER ONLINEZINE: July 2008
http://backpackeronline.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 14, 2008. Bringing food canisters is a must for those backpacking. Exposure to human food is bad for bears on several levels. Decades ago, Sierra backpackers slept with their food to keep bears away. Not only did this method prove ineffective, it was also dangerous. There have been documented incidents in Yosemite of bears doing a kamikaze-like jump onto the food from other branches and taking the pain from the fall because the reward is so significant," Mason said. Today, bear-proof caniste...
