Another beautiful day here on Long Island. I even worked up a bit of a sweat during my morning walk.

That sounds good, I guess I'll give it a try.

Today was a blue sky, sunny and warm (mid 40s) day so Kathy and I rode our bikes over to a coffee shop we like. Sat there sipping our drinks and enjoying a slice of banana bread while we talked with each other. It made for a simple, but enjoyable date. Sometimes I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.

Sunny and 44 right now

Quote from Sarcasmtheelf: “Quote from LIhikers: “Anybody know a good way to cut pages out of the book? I need the section from Georgia to West Viginia, which is the front half of the book. There's also a few pages at the very back that I'd like to keep too. If at all possible I'd like the front half to stay bound together. Any suggestions? ” You may have seen me post this photo before, however my solution is to carefully cut the book down the binding to create multiple sections, then I only brin…

The sun was finally out today with temps. in the low 40s. We got in a walk of a few miles.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already have the book and want to use it.

Sunny and 65? Hiking was the right choice. Save the sweater for a day when it's raining and gloomy outside. Bicycling would have been a good choice too.

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from LIhikers: “is Virginia really a mid-Atlantic state ” It used to be called the northern ruck,and we already have a Southern Ruck in Tennessee, so we changed it to Mid Atlantic. Its really just a few miles south of Harper's Ferry. ” oh, that's not too far. Maybe next year.

Iron Master's hostel in PA would make a good place.

I got my books in the mail today.

is Virginia really a mid-Atlantic state

Quote from odd man out: “I'll be retired soon. Last day will be April 25. But as I get older, the thought of long car rides becomes less attractive. ” OMO, congrats on your upcoming retirement. I hope you can make the transition easier than I am. I find it tough mentally to not be doing what I did for over 50 years.

Any of us could take the initiative to organize something in their own locale....just sayin...

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from LIhikers: “Thanks hikerboy. I ordered directly from ALDHA. I like much better to have the book in hand than use a PDF on a device or gadget. I guess it'll get here when it gets here. ” You should get it in the next week or so. ” I got an email that my order has been shipped, 2 copies of the updated Companion. I plan to leave 1 copy with our son when we do our LASH and carry the other one ( with half the pages removed). I'll probably get the Far Out app but hope t…

Now that I'm retired I'd be willing to get together almost anyplace within a day or 2 drive. Guess I'll go look into the New England Trail

While I'm not familiar with any of that, I'd bet the southern end has a lot of road walking and few places to camp.

Thanks hikerboy. I ordered directly from ALDHA. I like much better to have the book in hand than use a PDF on a device or gadget. I guess it'll get here when it gets here.

Back in December I ordered both the AT guide by AWOL and the Thru Hiker's Companion by ALDHA. I got the guide almost immediately. Does anyone know when the Companion might be available. I'm not as comfortable with The AT Guide as I am with the Companion and would rather use that for planning. I guess now that it's 2024 I'm starting to see our LASH on the AT as a reality and want to start thinking and planning for it.
