Winter Rains in Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Friday, January 27th, 2012
In 2011 the Great Smoky Mountains received close to 100 inches of rainfall, making it one of the rainiest spots in the entire United States. It was also one of the wettest years on record. The latest video from the Great Smoky Mountains Association captures the result of all this rainfall in this film footage of waterfalls and streams within the park:

Corsica GR20 update

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

I hiked half the GR20 last summer.

Mike saw my trip report and comments:

… treat the water. Very often the Corsicans pump their water directly from nearby streams so the water “might” be infected due to the heavy grazing. I’m speaking from personal experience :(

… bed bugs are a recurring problem with most of the refuges … I agree with you. Tents are much safer!

Mike’s got a 55min video documentary on the northern section linked from corsica.forhikers.com/gr20 and the equally detailed southern section sequel on vimeo.

Or you can see both on Mike’s GR20 blog.

Watching those would be ideal preparation for the “toughest long distance trail in Europe”.
