PA Trip Soon?

“Tuscarora may be a good idea.”

“This Friday and Saturday??”

“MarkO-

You still hiking this weekend?”

“It looks like my friend, Heath and I are going to do the eastern Sullivan Mountain half of the Old Loggers Path.”

“Huh?

Where's that?

Dang, I should get scratchin' on some maple and mahogany Friday and Saturday.
My projects have be languishing and I now have a shop in which to work and a key to same.

If any of you guys would like the see Roaring Plains in West Virginia, I will be there the day before ThanxG and returning home that Saturday.

“the 16th, 17th and 18th, we're going to head up to Masten and hike half of the OLP usung the old rail grade along Pleasant Stream to get us back to Masten.”

“The grade is brushy and grown over in parts, but less so now since its autumn.”

“I am heading to the Old Loggers Path this weekend and doing the Sullivan Mountain side.”

“bump”

“Sproul vista or Sullivan side?
10 mile side or 17 mile side?”

“Sullivan Mountain side, with Rock Run. I believe the 17 mile side.”

“Hey, isn't there a waterfall along that section of trail somewhere? - like down in the gorge below the trail - i bet you could bushwhack up the crik to it if you tried.”

“yeah, that side, my hope is to camp at the junction of yellow dog and rock runs.

The waterfall is on Yellow Dog Run, about a half mile upstream.

“lol, ens, you missed out on our dayhike - choco kept telling us - "that waterfall is just around the next bend"”

“hahaha, I remember you guys joking about that. Crazypace always says that I do that... the peak is just after this last climb... the campsite is just around the corner.”

“give or take a 1/2 mile.....”

“otherwise, just around the bend”

“the next bend? or the one after that?”

“I'd go on the OLP, but I'm gonna be bushwhacking to find Kasson Falls this weekend... pics to follow.”

“Kasson Falls?”

“bump”

“Anyone up for the Pinchot Trail Thanksgiving weekend? It won't be a butt-kicker by any stretch of the imagination (2 nights, 23 miles) but I've got a few people on board already.”

“I'll be dayhiking a part of the Thunder Swamp Trail this weekend, if anyone wants to join.”

“Well, back to the beginning, looking to do in March the trip I initially posted on this thread 4 years ago...

“in the next few weeks, or month, i was thinking about a PA trip. i'd like to do the mid-state trail from PA 26 and hike to the greenwood spur, which we'll take south to greenwood furnace state park. this trail is located in central PA, so it would be convenient for many people. the shuttle is very easy and convenient.

highlights:

views, views, views...part of this is a ridgetop trail with rocky terrain and numerous awesome vistas. indian wells vista is incredible.

4 incredible natural area- big laurel flat, bear meadows, detweiler, and alan seeger. each of these places are awesome.

expect scenic streams, great camping, rhododendron tunnels, and old growth forest.

this trail had lots of variety and many scenic features.

we'll finish at greenwood furnace state park, with lots of history and great hiking nearby.

anyone might be interested?”


March 22/23, or 29/30 look good.

I'm signed up with the NEOH group, but it's a larger group. I was hoping for a smaller group. If no one is interested, I'll go with them.

This is a really nice trail, with some great camping. It is rocky, so be prepared.”

“jmitch - I'm interested, but can't give a definite right now. How about posting this on the trips page?

~ Thanks dude, it would be great to see ya!”

“Either set of dates would work for me.

Need. Hike.

Rocks? You're kidding right? ;)”

“I'm a maybe depending on your dates and my schedule.

I'll be working the 29th-30th.

“Trip is posted. You all definitely want to hike this trail.”

“I've never met a trail I didn't want to hike. ;)

Joining now..”

“I can't miss Easter with the kids--can go 29/30th.”

“hey Spindlette! Hope we are on the same hike--I have something for you!”

“I signed up as a maybe. Sounds like a nice hike.”

“Sunnydayz, is it bigger than a breadbox? ;)

I'm not going to have to feed it or pay it's bills, am I? lol

Hope you can make this.

RichB, t'would be good to see you. :)”

“It's your very own pony and special rider so you can continue to run the TT Pony Express and return lost packages!”

“Ooo! A pony! I've always wanted a pony.

You can keep the jockey please. I have enough jockey-sized humans around here already. ;)

Lost packages are no matter for concern.”

“NEOH??

North East Ostrich Humpers?

Ponies bite.”

“North East Ohio Hikers. Cool bunch.

I could use an attack pony for yard defense. Damn kids. ;)”

“Attack geese don't eat as much.”

“i ussed to have an attack goose back when i lived in the North Cackalacky hills. Then a bobcat came along....”

“Keelt the bobcat?”

“nope - the bobcat won that particular fight. Twas a flurry of fur and feather.”

“Nah, geese attack everyone. Even their owners.

A pony looks harmless enough until it takes a chunk out of you. The idea that it'll get close enough to get one of them really,really good amuses me.

A tan one please!”

“Steal one from the National Park on Assateague Island in Maryland.

They got plenty and they will bite and kick.”

“Hmmm pony-wrangling. Never been busted for that before.

Misdemeanor, felony...what do you think?”

“Hmmmm, National Park...............probably toss ya in a federal pen.”

“Spindlette, it would be nice to see you too.”

“I'm definitely a maybe.”

“No.............you're definitely........something.”

“Marko--you're being nice to everybody today!”

“Sunny, I too have a new baby and I'm very happy!
