Hi folks,

Later this month I'll be leading a spring break backing trip for my college outing club. Right now we're planning to head towards central VA, in the Catawba area (mostly to stop by the Homeplace), and either do a section of the AT or some other trail in the area. We need to add another route now at the last minute, and I'm looking for suggestions of AT and non-AT sections of trail you'd recommend.

I'm familiar with the AT and have some section ideas there, but I'm more interested in other trails in the area. Do you know of any good loops or locations in Virginia that I might not know of? Any big parks or forests (other than Shenandoah) with 50-70 miles worth of hiking in them?

I discovered this sub about 5 days ago, and tonight I finally had the "right time" to go for it. Something about this subreddit really resonated with me, and I've been thinking about this experience for the whole weekend. Yesterday my friend happened to need to run into Whole Foods and as soon as I walked in I saw a big pile of almost perfectly ripe navel oranges. I knew it was a sign and so I bought three of those bad boys. Tonight I smoked a bowl, brushed my teeth (rookie mistake), ate a ginger snap to get the taste of toothpaste out of my mouth, and embarked on my journey.

The first part which really made this feel like something special was the open. The thought of beginning to peel the

I heard the Cascadias were really good shoes, and I ordered my first pair of the 10th edition from zappos somewhere in NY. Within about 3 weeks they had developed huge holes at the toebox, so I mailed them back and got another pair. Same deal. 19 trail days later and the same holes developed. That time I took a refund from Zappos (they have unbelievable Custom Service) and took it to REI where I ordered a pair of the 9th edition Cascadias (which have a 10x better reputation than the 10th edition).

They were awesome. I received them in the whites and they carried me to Katahdin without any tears in the mesh and just some separation of the very front of the toe box. Unfortunately they are nea

Hey

Two friends and I just bought our bus tickets and will be setting out of Amicacola come Feb. 19th. This sub has been a good help in planning, and I'm excited to run into some of you out on the trail.

The only question that remains... where is there a Chipotle within reach of a thru hiker? Are there any towns that have a chipotle or another burrito place you recommend. My buddies and I are huge burrito fans.

I've read some really good ELI5's here about how processors work; speeds and bits and stuff that I understand like any studious 5 year old should understand. How does power supply effect computing power? What is the mechanism of heat production in a CPU and how does lowering the power decrease this (I imagine "processing" is a relatively low energy thing and most of the power gets turned into heat?)

I can find online that some processors turn off parts of the processor... how does this effect the way the processor "thinks"?

I know this is probably really dense. Any insight is appreciated!

Alright, so this song always used to play on the radio station we had playing at work. I never really payed too much attention to it, but from what I can remember about the lyrics there's something about a girl being back at school, and the chorus is something like

"baby I couldn't help driving anymoore"

or like

"I couldnt help thinking [something]"

I think its a late 60s or 70s song
