You never know. I waited for years to get a PA one and finally got it this year.

This weekend's Travel section in the NY Times has an interesting article on the filming of the movie in Oregon.

Read it this morning and also liked the addition of "blisters" as a reason for its R rating. Don't know if the reviewer is a hiker but he certainly gave me a smile with my coffee.

I just don't get it. As already stated unless there is some intimate connection to that place why put it in a wilderness area. There are many more appropriate places that allow the family and the...

Ditto on the shelter when available during the day or the tent vestibule.

To quote W.C. Fields "I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it."

As a slight aside whenever I travel the Germans and the English are the most often encountered nationalities so it doesn't surprise me that they are well represented on the AT. In 2014 my wife and I...

Be forewarned when you come upon a large cocoon on the trail with hiking poles sticking out.

My wife and I were hiking down the trail from Wheeler Peak in Great Basin NP and just as we were reaching the treeline we came across a couple with a young child. The girl was telling them that she...

RTW sounds like a winner. If you are going to spend a few years doing something that seems like a good way to spend it.

It is a fun tour and was not crowded when I went on the first tour during the week. Even got to talk to the owner. Unfortunately there is no public bus between Port Clinton and Pottsville. As...

Don't see any problem with three days. If the issue is government creating a law that dictates a time limit then those people who think that should be against two weeks or any other amount of time....

Actually whenever I see some kind of record being broken I always think that there should be competitive hiking for those kinds of hikers. People push themselves in all kinds of ways so why not have...

Just bought a pair of Croc knockoffs called Doggies. They have a velcro strap in the front. They are getting rid of their summer stuff so they were 1/2 price at CVS for $7.49. Weight 11.8 oz. for...

Two encounters with animals in the wild stand out for me. The first was in Big Bend NP where I saw three mountain lions together about 100 feet in front of me and although they were all very large I...

Anywhere in the Himalayas, the ADT and the 88 Temple Pilgrimage on Shikoku.

I also use a duffle bag to put my pack in when flying. I did have to fly back from a hike once which I hadn't flown to but I was able to get an empty bicycle box from a store and wrap it up with...

Maybe they should bring back the Tropical Hershey Bar, that is if they could actually get it to taste better.

St Anthony's Wilderness in central PA has a stone tower and some ruins.
http://www.midatlantichikes.com/stonetower.htm has a short description of it and the directions from the AT to the tower.

Living in PA I would definitely be aware of reliable water sources ahead of you since they tend to dry up in the summer. Check trail registers and hikers coming in the opposite direction for...

Sorry for the typo, it is actually Dreamtime.
