Beacues of circumstances I was not able to get out backpacking. I've finially resolved those issues of transportation and low cash. (Still have the health issues...vertigo and knees) but I'm ready to get out. This would be a good trip for newbies or those just not in tip top shape yet because of the low miles. I can't tell you waht the weather will be like as they have been having winter storms and cold down there lately but I'm going snow or not.

If any fit folks go, they get a workout by carrying in the beer :) (or the gear, whatever's heavier...) ;)

I'm not going to make this trip. I don't have snow shoes and there is too much snow on the ground right now for me to take my dog. I bet there is going to be at least a foot or two on the ground by the time the weekend comes around.

Windi, I'm considering doing the Adena trail next month or the month after that. I have to look at my schedule and see what I can squeeze in.
