PA trip this weekend

“thinking about a trip this weekend on the mid state trail from big spring road to little pine state park. this is a 24 mile section of the trail, i hear great things about this trail. great views, pine creek gorge, beautiful streams, and it has some buttkicking potential. it's a linear trail, so we'll need to shuttle cars. just seeing if there is any interest.”

“intrest but not free to join in :{”

“Interested but have no way of getting there.”

“sorry to hear that, wish you guys could come along.”

“anyone?”

“would love to but I'm going kayak/camping with Lynsy and her girls..”

“I would love to go. But I'm not sure my body will have recovered from that 70 miler over the weekend.”

“then 24 miles should be nothing!!”

“No can do jmitch.”

“It's not looking good for me but I'll know for sure Thursday night. Unlikely but possible.

Is this near the small section we did during the WRT trip?”

“no pennsy, further south along the gorge, fairly close to williamsport.

i hear the ascent up houselander mtn is a real buttkicker.

if no one comes along, i'll do one of the quehanna trail's loops.”

“My girlfriend and I are waiting to the Labor Day weekend. Then we will have three days to hike.”

“anyone? does anyone backpack on this website?

maybe, i'll do the quehanna instead.”

“I do and so does my girlfriend. Pennsylvania is one of our favorite States to go backpacking! There are so many trails to choose from. We hiked in both the Allegheny National Forest and the Quebec Run Wild Area. I personally would love to hike the Hickory Creek Wilderness Loop Trail sometime this year.”

“Jeff, sorry I can't join you, family trip to NY this weekend to visit grandparents.”

“If I didn't have court to prepare for next week I wouldnt mind meeting a few new eastern hikers.

Next time.”

“sorry Jeff. I can't make this one. :o(”

“nobody wants to hike w/ me!

kyle- you're an atty? that's too bad. i know what you're going through.”

“Yup, 17 years of it...

Started public office, then to a procecutor, now my own practice. Criminal mostly, some personal injury.”

“I hope you find someone to go backpacking with! And have a great time! PA is one very beautiful State.”

“Thats what I hear... I'm winding down, getting close to retire and really begin to enjoy the backpacking life.”

“I really wish I could join you Kyle. I have to wait for Labor Day weekend so I can have a three day weekend. Work constraits, you know! Then we are hiiting the old trail in PA!”

“ohio hiker- is quebec run nice? i've heard great things about it. what are the trails like? which sections of trail are the nicest. i want to get there this fall sometime.”

“Sorry, not this weekend. Can't wait for the trip at September's end!”

“Quebec Run Wild Area is great! Actually, there are many trails to choose from in the Wild Area and they all intersect so you can make loops of whichever you choose. My girlfriend and I hiked the Mill Run, Teabolt, West Road (actually a hiking trail now), Brocker and Gristmill Trails. They were all nice! We camped the first night on the Mill Run Trail and the second on the Brocker Trail after climbing up the eastern flank of Chestnut Ridge. I'm sure you will enjoy these trails as much as we did!”
