If you wanted to do a day hike between High Point and DWG, where would you do it? Thanks in advance.
Hello, All,
Realize this is not for the AT, but I thought more people might see it here. Looking to do two hikes on the Batona Trail on either Nov. 19 (Tues.), Nov. 21 (Thurs), or Nov. 22...
Hello, All,
Looking to do two hikes on the Batona Trail between Nov. 19 (Tues.) and Nov. 22 (Fri.) First will be from Ong's Hat to Route 72, second from Route 72 definitely to Route 532, possibly...
Thanks, Shelterbuilder!
What do you define as "big", anyway? The three shelters we've stayed in in Massachusetts (maintained by a chapter of the AMC, by the way) were all two stories and could hold ten people easy,...
The wife and I are doing PA 183 to Swatara Gap over Labor Day. Hertlein Campsite the first night, William Penn shelter the second. Just wanted to check and see if anyone had any advice, particular...
Hello, All,
The wife and I are doing the Washington Monument (the original one, not the famous one:D) to Harper Ferry next week. We'll stay at Rocky Run the first night and Ed Garvey the second,...
I have been thinking a lot about the Batona Trail lately, partly as a possible trip for a church youth group, and partly because I might take it upon myself to create the first detailed trail guide. ...
Rescheduled our trip for this weekend due to my wife getting a bug, so bumping this to see if anyone has updated info. Thanks.
Well, the wife came down with a bug a couple of weeks ago, so we have rescheduled for this weekend. Any information anyone could provide on the questions in the original post, particularly on water...
Aaahhh, democracy at work. . .:D
Hi, KDOG,
There is an REI in Marlton on 73 just south of the intersection with 70:

We've gone there a couple of times when hiking in South Jersey and...
I haven't been able to actually find whether you stay in a motel every night, but if you don't like camping, you're probably not sleeping in your car, either, :D so I'm wondering if you're also doing...
Hi, Fussymary,
Used them for a shuttle from NY 22 to Hoyt Road which cost about $40, so I would second your thought about waiting until you get closer to the border before you use them.
To be precise, crouch down, put your feet so they are touching each other (minimizes the potential difference for the ground current) and curl the rest of yourself up into a ball. Your feet should...
The ones we've used so far (not counting my wife's uncle who helped us on our very first AT hike from PA 183 to Port Clinton:)):
--Amy Reinke (one of the RoseSniffers) took us from Pine Grove...
Hello, All,
Anyone got any recent water reports from this area? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, Joshuasdad,
Not quite sure what you mean by hiking down to the road. We'll be parking at the visitor's center of the state park, which isn't much further than Ashby Gap. The main point is to...
Hi, Flypaper,
I haven't had a chance to update the mileage in a while. We're over 100 miles by now anyway. :)
Also, I want to keep track of the actual mileage we walk, so I don't go back and...
Last section for the wife and myself this year (and maybe for next year, too, depending on our success in creating new Perrys:banana) is Chester Gap to Sky Meadows, VA, this coming weekend. Will be...
Hello All,
The wife and I are doing our next section from Race Brook Falls to Kellogg Road in MA in a couple of weeks. We will probably hike up Race Brook to one of the campsites near Mt....
If you stop at Greenwood Lake, check out Ashley's Pizza right in the center of town. Looks like a complete dive but possibly the best pizza my wife and I have ever had, and certainly on the short...
Hello, All,
Was wondering if overnight parking is doable at Jug End Road in Massachusetts. The wife and I are planning to do an overnighter up over Mt. Everett and back down to Jug End, and it...
Well, for us it isn't such short mileage, but looking at the map, it appears to be about .6 of a mile, so it might be worth it.
