Hey jmitch

“I have tenatively signed up for the Moshannon State Forest trip at the end of September. I noticed that the start date is the 26th, which is a Friday. Will we be meeting at the trailhead that morning, afternoon, evening? I need to request that day and or Thurday off soon. Please advise.”

“very flexible, i plan to be there fri afternoon. i won't be there thursday. we still have to choose our route on the trail; hope you can make it. we'll work with people's schedules.”

“Sounds good. I will take off Friday then, maybe part of Thursday too. Have to make sure it is good with the wife too.”

“Hey!

Where is that thread about the AT in NW Conneticut?”

“I need to pow wow with you on a trip I want to do on the Loyalsock trail 7/31 to 8/1. I want to start at Worlds End and hike around 15 miles, camp and then the next day hike around 10 miles. How far is it from Worlds End to Kettle Falls? I camped there before and thought it was a good campsite. Will I be able to get Haystacks into the hike? Want to come? There is a trip up on the trips page.”

“Got the book! Very cool!

Thanks for all that additional info as well.”

“will we be seeing you this weekend? Haven't hiked with you since the Great Loyalsoak Trip.”

“WK,

ENS,

“We'll be camping just north of Bradley Whales Picnic area Saturday night. It would be really cool to see ya.”

“Jmitch, I just read the trips page and noticed the Link Trail trip is no longer there. I was just wondering if it was because of some trail damage from hurricane Ivan?”

“jmitch is this the section of the mid state trail you scouted?

Section 16”

“Yes.”

“yes, and further east, too.”

“'Cept that further east ain't done yet...”

“Thanks, I'll take a look into it.”

“Heya Jeff! I'm heading to Pine Grobve furnace this weekend an plan on doing the Sunset rocks loop. We plan on doing the scramble. I have your book but was wondering if there was anything more you could tell me that might help.. also we were going to camp near the AT/Sunset rocks junction. We'll be there Thursday - Saturday. It looks like a blast”

“I've never actually been out to the view, but that's a nice stretch of the AT. There's some nice camping less than a mile South of the Tom's Run shelters. It's pretty flat up there. You'll have to carry water but it will be a bit more private than staying right at the shelters.”

“Thanks N_G. Hope you guys had a great 4th. We'll be starting in PGF and doing a loop back.”

“It's been several years, but Sunset Rocks are very nice- rock scrambling, very nice views of the forested valley, cool boulders and rock outcrops. I remember being pleasantly surprised by the nice view, and ironically, the sun was setting. Very much worth doing. I don't recall it being a long trail.

Have fun.”

“A few years ago I was there in mid-fall with a group of day hikers when there were a few fallen leaves. We scrambled up to the view and just before the summit there was a crevice full of orange objects. Each of us stepped over the crevice then sat in a line on a large rock on top to drink in the view. While sitting up on top, one of us at the end of the line saw a bit of movement and realized that most of the orange in the crevice was a large copperhead amid the leaves. It was really interesting watching the change in expression on faces down the row as each person in line nudged the next and pointed...

“ENS,

Can we choose a weekend in August? I'll be at Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens then, and maybe Olympic.”

“well, a buddy of mine wants to take his son out for his first backpack and that is the perfect hike to do.. close by, not too hard and stuff an 8 year old would love to see...

I am up for a good back sometime in August though. Not sure where, but I would like to do something buttkickerish.

About the conestoga trail, do you know how far it is from Pequea to PA 372? I am guess around 12 miles. Do you know if there is parking near Pequa Campground?”

“turns out my friend can't go this weekend, so we are going to reschedule. I will keep you posted.
