great pics Mr. M!!!! Outstanding weekend trip, beautiful colors and vistas galor!! I have to get my pics up. i had a great time.

crazygurl, the West Rim Trail is in northern Pa and follows the Western Rim of the Pine Creek Gorge, AKA Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. It's a beautiful spot and makes for a nice leisurely weekend backpacking trip.

ENS, since when do you go backpacking with old gray-haired fuggers?

Is that the same Tim I met at Ithaca in '04??

Thanks for the explanation ENS, and for the great pics MSilver. I was also wondering where the trail is. I was thinking "great pics, but this doesn't look like the Southwest."

Who you calling scary, he who makes funny noises in the woods ?

Besides, I think we look rather handsome as backpacking manly men.

for your information, Pennsy uses a Gap Bag too, they make great stuff sacks.

Oh... because Pennsy uses a Gap Bag, that makes it OK? Do you realize how warped your logic is?!?!

lol I was just joking. I use it because of its excellence as a stuff sack.

I have been a total trip report slacker this year. I am going to start a threwad, overdue trip reports. I have about 30 to write going back to my memorial day weekend backpack trip on the AT.

Nice pictures! Thanks for posting 'em. Was good to see you again on the trail (albeit only briefly), and nice to meet Crazypace.

Yes, I have a threwad, a gap bag, AND sometimes I AM a gap toothed idiot. What's it to ya? ;o) and somebody PUH-LEEEEEZE shoot ENS for teaching Dorko Marko how to post pics in a thread.

Crazypace went backpacking? What happened, did his Chevy dealership close down?

But hey, super pics guys, and it looked like an awesome weekend to be on the WRT. Is that campsite "near" Bradley Wales great or what? And it's legal, although barely.

the campsites all along the West Rim Trail are great, but the two we camped at were the best. It's hard to beat the combo of camping on Pine Creek beneath a canopy of hemlocks the first night and the following night at an awesome vista with a bathroom and water well near by.

I'll wear a target this weekend at Masten.

"...Pine Creek beneath a canopy of hemlocks...."

Then why do they call it Pine Creek?

Hey yo Pennsy, just what is a Gap Bag?
