Indeed! I want to see the Rhodies bloom!

The brain absorption of the route has begun. I have been in contact with 10K for info and the shuttle. I am getting somewhat excited for this road trip/ walk. I had to change from the second week of June to the third. I would have missed Mackenzies High School graduation.appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…f4c2c8e7c93a14f0adc92cae6

Quote from WanderingStovie: “Quote from Astro: “Quote from WanderingStovie: “Who put the signs in the privy at RPH? ” Why, what is so special about them? I stopped at RPH, but skipped the privy. Perhaps I should not have. ” I remember a fallout shelter sign on the inside of the door. ” RPH, stands for Ralphs Peak Hikers. It is a club, they maintain that shelter and 10 miles north and south of that shelter. There are about 10 very active folks, all good people. Jokers, most!

It is quite possible I am moving to Bozeman, MT later this year...have to add it to the list. ” Yes, I am now really jealous.

Martin Hunley was talking about a class for boundary marking at RPH........did you attend this?

My son and I went to see his HS in the semis..... They got beat, not quite as bad as Quinnipiac did.

I must get out once a week.... Work weekends are like long days..... But every other I must get out. Connecticut is loaded with day hikes. This one stretch of the Metacomet I had passed by hundreds of times in my life. If you have driven up Interstate 91, you have gaulked at this escarpment every time as I have! It was a very cool walk of 6 miles. Once up on top it roller coasters to each cool cliff. From spot you can see Lawn Guyland to the south, and turn around and there is Mt. Tomappalachian…

Quote from escapee: “I confess that A Walk in the Woods and AWOL on the AT inspired me to do a section hike, having never backpacked in my life I over-packed Had to throw my almonds in the woods At Thomas Knob Shelter I camped 6 feet from the trail, where my food bag hung from a tree about my height When the opportunity came I took the Creeper Trail instead of the AT In Damascus I took 2 extra zero days After Abingdon Gap Shelter, had myself fetched and delivered to Kinkora, skipping 30 miles Th…

Quote from Wise Old Owl: “Pennsylvania SNOW! in April again.... Once in many years as late as April 19th it Snows heavy enough to stick! Here is Ashley and Tinkerbell enjoy catching snowflakes on their tongues..... ” I lost a beautiful white birch tree in anApril snow

Quote from LIhikers: “I've hiked the C+O, as well as the Great Allegheny Passage, and saw every kind of bike using these trails. My recommendation would be to have a sturdy set of wheels built accommodating the widest tires that will fit in the frame. Then use a fairly low gearing so you can keep going over the roots, ruts and mud. Racks and fenders front and rear would round out a good rail trail bike. ” Paul, you are discribing just what I had in mind.

Touring bike, suitable for touring with packs on Rail trails

Quote from twistwrist: “These incredible hikers are direct from the Arctic where they work as nurses for the Inupiat Native Americans and are hiking the AT for some much-needed sunshine! Fascinating folks with riveting tales of polar bears and eating raw whales and caribou. Badass! ” LOOK at YOU Girl!!!

Quote from LIhikers: “Quote from CoachLou: “Neither Snow nor rain or heat of July, keeps us from Rocking your trail!!!!! ” You're a better man than me.A little rain and snow kept us from doing our AT boundary work this past weekend. ” Not so... I actually had to show no matter. Two weekends ago we started this project. My old dear friends dad past, so I could not attend. We are a team when we work and good friends, we all rely on each other to get these projects done. We were cracking jokes abou…

Quote from AnotherKevin: “Any word on when the Vernooy Kill project is getting started? That's one that I'm really looking forward to. (I've whacked the route, and it's nice, but there are going to be some challenges in building a sustainable trail through there.) ” I do not know, but I will find out.

Quote from AnotherKevin: “You guys rock! (Where was this? I see a whole zoo of blazes on that signpost, but can't make them out clearly. Is that a Long Path disc?) ” Turkey Hill lot on Rt. 6, Long Path. We are going to Sams Point the end of April, beginning of May. May/ June something near Phoenicia
