Experienced, but out-of-shape backpacker, looking to start weekend adventures again. Would like to find a hiking companion. Newbies okay as I have extra gear that could get you started. Older men or women. I'm a 55-year-old woman.

Do an Easter weekend backpacking trip with me? One or two nights. Anywhere in the DC/MD/VA area. I have ideas of trails but open to suggestions.

Memorial Day weekend? 3 or 4 days?

If in shape enough by then, maybe even thru-hike Maryland on the AT, which would be 10 - 14 mile days, depending on whether we do 3 or 4 days.
