Six Ways To Tell You’re Ready For An RV Road Trip

One of the most renowned ways to see the various stretches of the USA is through a road trip. Naturally, if you’re hoping to cover much of the country, this is going to take you a while. Therefore, it makes sense to double down on the iconography and go about this adventure with the help of an RV.  While this is an exciting opportunity and a potentially great way to go on an adventure, it can also be quite daunting. It might be more taxing than you expect, so ensuring that you’re doing everything you can to prepare will help you to make the most of this plan.

Some Advantages of Lightweight Backpacks
As a backpacker, you can travel further and faster by packing lighter with lightweight backpacks. Many who have jumped on the lightweight bandwagon find they can wear light running shoes when carrying a 15 to 30 pound backpack instead of the heavy-duty hiking boots they must wear when carrying the 45 pound plus heavy-duty pack...
The 10 Best Hikes In The Smokies
Stretching more than 2,100 miles from Main to Georgia, the Appalachian Trail is the longest trail in the United States. 71 of these miles meander through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, beginning at the Davenport Gap in northeast Tennessee and exiting at the Fontana Dam in southwest North Carolina. Of the numerous hiking trails that follow the Smokies’ crest, here are ten particulars that offer some of the most beautiful views of the park.
The Appalachian Trail - "No fun, No finish"
You want the A.T. experience?  Then get distracted.  Take a side hike up Siler Bald, go swimming in the pool at Caledonia State Park, take the gondola ride down to Killington – and yes, stay a night or two in a trail town.  The Appalachian Trail is not meant to be a race – it’s meant to be a life experience.  There is an old A.T. saying …

A Thru-Hiker Looks At 20
It’s been 20 years since I thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail.  There’s no doubt, it was a different Trail back then – fewer thru-hikers, no cell phones, and no websites to research the A.T. prior to heading out.  Thru-hikers today are better informed, better connected, and significantly better prepared than when I hiked in 1994.  That said, here are some tips for the Class of 2015 as you start the A.T. this Spring:
Listening to God on the Appalachian Trail
We live in a fast pace world, where our minds have to travel even faster. Throughout history, life has never been this way. Think about your day. You wake up to the sound of an alarm, not a rooster. You get out of your allergy free, down alternative, Poster-pedic bed and turn off the electric blanket as you place your feet on the ground. You walk across your heavy face weight, high density, plush, synthetic fiber carpet and take the few steps to your indoor bathroom....
