I like SNP north to south because of the locations of possible showers. Showers are available at Big Meadows and Loft Mountain. Big Meadows is in the middle but Loft is 20 miles from the southern...
thanks, I am going to look at that on the maps.
I used them last year to do the 100 mile wilderness. Parked at Abol Bridge and they picked me up for a 2mile car ride to where they take off. They flew me south to the beginning of the wilderness. ...
I am looking for a suggestion for a 2 and a half day circuit hike in the northern section of the park. I'm very familiar with the central and southern sections of the park but have done very little...
I parked at the Worthington State Park in NJ, next to the camp ground office. It is right by the boat ramp. Take the last exit off 80 west before it crosses into PA. There is single lane road...
The Worthington spot is a lot right off route 80.
I’m planning a 3 day hike from the DWG north. We will have 2 cars. I was thinking of putting one car at Stokes State Forest where Route 206 crosses the AT. Then going back to the DWG to start the...
Larry,
Hope you are doing ok. How about an update?
Happy New Year from Greta and Wallace
We did this trip in September. Went to Katahdin Air and they shuttled our car up to Abol Bridge (about 8 miles) with no additional charge. Flew down to the beginning of the trail by Monson. It is...
check out Kathadin Air. They will fly from Abol down to Monson. It is only 37 miles as the crow flies. It is about a 20 min ride for ~$100.
No matter what you get first, you will eventually want an underquilt for the hammock. Check out the Jacks R better nest for an underquilt and the no snivler for a top quilt. BTW, once you get...
Use a pad you already own or get a cheap one. It is just a matter of time before you will want an underquilt.
The stock fly that comes with the UL backpacker is only just adequate. My friend just purchased a HH direct from Hennesey and they swapped the stock fly out for their hex fly which appears to have...
We are planning a trip in September. We booked flights on Katahdin Air right near Baxter. The fly you down to Monson and land in a lake. You need at least 2 people and it cost around $100 per...
I am looking for a place for a short 3 day hike within a relatively short drive of the Philadelphia area. I’ve hike the NJ side of the Delaware water gap and would like to try something different. ...
After my first week using a pad, I too went to an UQ. I was originally going to buy a KAQ from the bishop himself based on the cost vs. the No Snivler. I had a logistical problem and wound up...
At this point, it is the challenge of finding them. I could have ordered a set from Brian at McCat or I could have used some tent stake. But once I couldn't find a generic source for something I...
Does anyone have an online source for 9 inch aluminum gutter spikes that would be used for tarp stakes. I had a set that came with my McCat tarp but they were lost when lent to my wife. Home depot...
At the end of last May I did the park North to South. I parked at the Dickey Ridge visitor center and took the Dickey Ridge trail south to hook up with the AT. I chose south because I would run...
One other thing your dad may enjoy. The rangers run car trips down to Hoover's camp. It is a caravan that goes down in the morning. I don't know if they run it in the spring or what days, but they...
You can access the Dark Hallows Falls via a fire road. It is much less steap than the Dark Hallows Falls Trail. The falls are the closest falls to the Drive. To find the fire road, park at the gap...
Never tried it but certainly would. I'll also bring a tent.
Are there any trees in the camping area for hammocks?
