In a 7-2 opinion on Monday, the Supreme Court upheld a 2018 “right-of-way” permit by the Forest Service that would allow the Atlantic coast pipeline operators to place a 0.1-mile segment underneath the Appalachian Trail in the George Washington National Forest.
I love the environment because we've got the best environment.
Overall, I don't like messing with the public natural spaces we have (whether it's your local park or a National Forest,) but this pipeline will cross the trail in a very small section. I'm surprised the SCOTUS came out at 7-2, and didn't 'get political' and come out 5-4.
What does concern me though, is that everyone is focusing on the Appalachian TRAIL, but not thinking about the rest of the pipeline. It's a 600-mile pipeline.
It's beautiful country out here, but I wouldn't put it past some group to sabotage the project. And I don't mean to sue Dominion or Duke Energy on their permits; I mean to literally sabotage the pipeline!
They already started construction; a lot of the pipeline is built. And yes, when they build it, it is ugly. They tear up the land. But, if they put it back together, they have the chance to make it better than before. Bigger. Better.
Liberal hippie type girls that'll latch on to you, especially when you are well prepared and have plenty of money like I did. Usually groups of people start in the same time frame, there are good times to start from South and North. What happens is people become "trail friends" and tend to accordion in groups along the length of the trail if you hike it all at once.
Instead of hiking people like to get caught up in the social aspect, and spend time in their groups. Well, girls are still unprepared and needy, hiking the trail with $10 in their pocket and just hoping for free shit.
Can't say I didn't bring a few back to a hotel in town, stocked them up, let them crash with me in exchange they act like the sluts they are. They'd prefer to be your "trail boyfriend" sometimes, and it was more common than you think. I wanted none of that and just hiked and enjoyed the scenery. It's not a solitary experience. Do the CDT for that.
In the 1O0 mile wilderness the.black flies and mosquitoes are hell. I started end of july in Maine and hiked south. if you are fit, I'd reccomend doing that. Way less people, less bugs. you hit Shenandoah in the fall it's real nice. You start with all.the mountains so bt the mod Atlantic 30 mile days are easy, and you just cruise.
Bug nets, and you get used to mosquitoes there not terrible. her used to tick checks and just keep moving.
The crossing of the App Trail for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project will be a HDD (horizontal directional drill) hundreds of feet below. Hikers will likely never notice actual disturbance to the trail itself.
I went looking but I can't find the stories. In Dunnellon, Florida, they were building a pipeline. A group of about 5 fat activist LARPers went there and sabotaged some of the equipment and area. They got caught, got charged, went to jail. Pipeline finished. Now, it's already leaking because of cheap building material/labor practices. So the cycle continues.

Imagine not showering for a month and living outside the whole time whille walking through the forest. Now imagine..........nah i wont do it lol
No, no. Let's continue. Do they brush their teeth at least?
Can confirm. My wife and I came across one of these while hiking in Vermont. We coulde smell him long before we actually saw him.

I have it on my bucket list, any tips for sanity? how are the mosquitos? are leftists worse than mosquitos? That's a pretty high bar to be honest.

Can confirm, am in HDD business.
came here to say this, it's about 900 feet below the actual trail anyone walks on

Is it a buried pipeline or is it above ground?
