Somebody help me pick somewhere to go!!!

“Spring break: March 6-14.

Would like to hike full days on the 8, 9, 10, and 11th.

Willing to go 24 hours drive from PA.

Keep in mind, I don't have too much winter gear.. no crampons, snowshoes, etc. I'd like to go somewhere that isn't TOO cold and somewhere that isn't TOO strenuous (keep in mind, I'm relatively new to backpacking).

SO HELP!”

“March 14 is my birthday...that's the day I become old like you. Come visit me.”

“No, Ohio is too flat”

“18 gets you here...It would be a pleasure to hike in Missouri with you.”

“Go to the Grand Canyon! It should be a blast!”

“Stikmon- I was actually considering Missouri!”

“So tell me, what does Missouri have to offer a girl like me?”

“Rule out: Pennsylvania and anything above it, Georgia, NJ, and MD.”

“I have a nice walking trail behind my house. It is paved and goes in a circle through the woods...you could setup your tent and go bushwhacking! I'd make dinner.”

“remember...there the smokies. No problem for me to take a couple days off. :)”

“Gem- was thinking of the smokies as well...”

“the Irish wilderness has an 18 mile loop hike that you could really take your time on and enjoy...plus there's ME!!! I'll even let you have your way with me, my mistress of domination.”

“I could prolly hit the smokies too....”

“LOL @ stikky,.. it's a good possibility.

Gemini- Can u make a good 4 day route in the smokies?”

“oh sh-t, count me out completely - i'll be in deadline he!! at that point in march.”

“The Smokies will be very cold then won't they?”

“the smokies or

“smokies might be cold, especially in higher elevations, but on lower elevation tails, temps should be more mild than cold in early to mid march.

still a chance of snow storms though.”

“snow shoes needed?”

“Don't rule out northern Arkansas and the Buffalo River Trail and the Ozark Highlands Trail.

Many trail opportunities and usually mild weather.

Pick up Stikmon and Khatru on your way over.”

“go international babay!”

“The Whites - thats were you should go”

“cancun”

“nah, no snowshoes in the smokies. Some folks claim crampons are useful, and I guess they are in certain places but I've never used them (don't own any) if you want to be more assured of milder temps and an even less chance of snow and ice stay on lower elevation. I can take a look at my stuff and help find a good 4 day trip that'll put you on some waterfalls and other cool stuff but stay off the peaks - at least stay off them overnight.”

“Big Bend 'Fire”

“I'm thinking what Owl suggested (Buffalo River & Ozark Highlands Trails) or Ocala, FL for the scenery.

Smokies are gonna be freezing on the high peaks and I'd rather wait til the summer when I can do them.”

“Too far, Jello”

“Whimp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Ocala would probably be pretty neat and the temps would be very nice.”

“Whimp my butt! I'd rather not be driving the whole time I have off and only be able to hike two days!”

“Roam- I figured around 50s or so for Ocala”

“so you didn't like the cancune idea?”

“No money, tea”

“you go to hell! you go to hell and you die!”

“Big South Fork NRRA. Angel Falls Overlook to Grand Gap Loop to John Muir Trail to Station Camp Creek Trail (via short distance on Laurel Fork Trail), past Charit Creek Lodge, then exit through Twin Arches Loop. Requires shuttle.”

“Scorch - You need to get yer ass over here to the Great State of Michigan. We'll host ya, we're pros at it. You'll have such a good time, you'll be moving here. No shayt, I ain't kidding. You would not be dissappointed, you have my word. March is the ripe time of year here. Cold, refreshing and OUTSTANDING.”

“are you sticking your tongue out 'Fire.........that's naughty ;>)”

“I'm a naughty kinda girl LOL”

“what do you mean KINDA.........are you or aren't you ....LOL”

“it's a secret”

“I've been to South Park, CO. It's not too far from the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness Area. It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it sized town but they do have a good Mexican cafe and a couple of junky gift stores with loads of South Park (the show) stuff. There's a giant Kenny over the door.”
