The invasive Bradford pear [Pyrus calleryana] also has nasty thorns, and would be a possibility if it's a problem species locally.” There wer…

I met Coop and his wife @ an Adventure race out West, I think '05, and his gear and ideals were top notch for the times... It was my baptism of UL, after the race I bought a Golite Infinity backpack(under a pound w/frame sheet) and a Hybrid Down bag that was more like a 20 degree Mummy w/ a removable 40 Degree Top Quilt thingy... 2 quality pieces that served me for many, many miles... Still rockin' my 7 year old Wisp... Too bad... I've heard he let the operations slip away from his control years…

Quote from LIhikers: “Quote from WiseOldOwl: “Quote from LIhikers: “My wife Kathy has a map put out by the Keystone Trail Association. I never realized PA had so many "long" trails. This coming spring we hope to do the Laurel Highlands Trail in PA.

Yep... Did some more hiking... Went out for 3 nights and 4 days chasing Fall colours SOBO from Palmerton to Furnace Creek late last week thru Sunday, with quite a bit of Blue, and Red blazing... First off... It was overcast, then it got windy, REALLY windy then it was raining, then it was snowing... Then it got interesting...
