Hi, Im planning NOBO group section hike from Delaware Water Gap, Pa to Bear Mtn, NY. (Aprox. 111 mi.) Im leaving Saturday, June, 29th @ 8am. If everything goes as planned, It should be a 6 day hike. Here is a list of the event:
Meet up @ Water Gap Diner 7am. 6am if your going to eat. 55 Broad St, Delaware Wtr Gap, PA 18327. Get dropped off, bus it in or make parking arrangements ahead of time. Departing at 8am.
Im a fan of hike your own hike so here are my plans. If your slower or faster than me, we can meet up at the following places in plan.
First day: - 18 miles to Blue Mtn Lakes Road. There is a hand pump for water on the west side of the trail just before crossing the paved road. I will be camping half mile north of the road.
We can plan leave times each day as we go.
Day 2: - 19 miles to Mashipacong Shelter
Day 3: - 20 miles to Pochuck Mtn Shelter
Day 4: - 21 miles to HWY NY 17A.
Day 5: - 17 miles to Fingerboard Shelter.
Day 6: - 16 miles to Bear Mtn.
I suggest you get the 2013 Appalachian Trail Thru - Hikers Compainion / Guide from www.appalachiantrail.org so you can plan your water stops and possible food drops, motels, showers ect, ect... I will have one with me. Im open to any ideas or will change the plan as long as i make it in 7 days. This is my first AT trip so if anyone wants to suggest something please do so.
Also Im 36, male, fit, easy to get along with and like to have fun while enjoying the outdoors.
