It was a haul to say the least. We actually did see mice, only once, at the Ohiopyle Shelter. It got in to everything overnight and was a really big problem. Didn't see any mice after that and kept everything strung from rope in the shelter. We brought plenty of firemaking stuff and found good kindling in the woods. Thanks for the advice. <br /><br />DaveDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839850981704866083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18293146.post-74035752138738227162012-01-17T14:11:48.547-05:002012-01-17T14:11:48.547-05:00dave, sorry for lack of response.
NO mice. I hear...dave, sorry for lack of response. <br />NO mice. I heard that they are gnarly in the summer. Bring tarps and rope or bungees to seal up the shelters. Maybe a garbage bag to put your pack in so you can jam it into the bottom of the shetler where there are holes to stop warm air from escaping. Bring fire making materials. The logs are SUPER wet under allt he snow. Its hard to get a fire going.

Some friends and I are headed up for a full transect of the LHHT in January and I was wondering if you had a problem with critters in the winter?<br /><br />Also, thanks to your blog, it looks like we are going to take snowshoes. Any other advice?Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05839850981704866083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18293146.post-60050602807849070412010-12-22T09:09:57.111-05:002010-12-22T09:09:57.111-05:00Mayhew...you can do both (hunt and ride bike).
