I don't have any exact dates yet, I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in doing some hiking on the Loyalsock Trail........ I would like to do the whole thing, but it would be nice to hook up with some other people so I don't have to do it both ways..Also I am really wanting to check out the Black Forest Trail-just got the guide and maps in the mail today,looks like a cool loop, just throwin the invite out there to anyone who would like some company......Happy trails to all......:)
I'd like to do the east end of the Loyalsock for a weekend, but there's no way I'm fast enough to do 59+ miles that way, plus not sure when I can get out (probably not before, oh gosh, July!)
The Mid-Atlantic regional forum of backpacker.com (see if this link works: http://www.backpacker.com/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi?act=SF;f=682107219 ) and also http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/ each have a number of folks who have a good bit of interest in trails like the Loyalsock and BFT. If you don't get enough bites here, try one of those forums.

I would love too, but I am stationed here in NC. I'm from Hershey, PA though and have only done sections of the AT and West Rim Trail up in the PA Grand Canyon.

I plan on being back in PA for two weeks in June and I want to do some hiking, maybe a short 2 or 3 day section of the AT into Duncannon. My gear is scattered across the state of PA so it all depends if I can piece together a pack and that then I'm game for a section hike or maybe a loop like the Black Forest Trail.

I may be interested in hooking up over Thanksgiving 2008 with you if you are interested. Still unsure of the trail I want to hike that week, but I always hike Sat-Wed before Thanksgiving in PA if you are interested.

Great time of the year to hike. Sure, if it will work out, I would be interested:)

Yes I am - Here in West Chester, Chester County, Would be available with a Subaru Legend, for Pick up & drop off, so we would only walk one way.
Caveat, I am working on training a well behaved 70 pound trail lab- He can stay in the trunk.

That would be cool. I've got a 2 year old beagle who I always take with me also. Got a little pickup, but its extended cab. If dogs got along, it would certainly work.
