just did a section from Hoyt's road (ny/ct) border south to NY Stormville route 52....dry, dry, dry!

Glad I stashed water near the Dover Oak...the water source near and at the Telephone Pioneers shelter is dry, dry, dry!

Greetings all, anyone been around the Telephone Pioneers Shelter. I've read that it was dry last month, so I was wondering if that's still true? And also is the spigot by the purple house still open...

anyone been up by the Telephone pioneers shelter lately? We are doing a section over there in 2 weeks and I have read that the water isn't reliable. Any word? Also, according to my Guthooks app, it...

very sad story but did I read it incorrectly - it says she hung herself...in a tent? I'm confused...

You can park near the Kittatiny visitor center - it's free but you are supposed to check in with the rangers and give plate number etc. or there is parking by Dunnfield Creek which is also free I...

Was just there this weekend...spigot is ON! And the water is nice! Enjoy

Like others I've been following the story since it happened and am glad they released the information. Also now I don't feel so bad for not stepping too far off the trail to pee for this very reason!...

Got in touch with George and have my shuttle ride lined up. Thanks for the info!

Looking forward to hitting the trail!

thanks rocketsocks - when I called them last week they said they were too busy with boating season. They suggested Pocono cabs but I'm on the fence about that - anyone ever use them?

Greetings! finally getting out to do a section hike over memorial weekend. My hiking partner and I plan to arrive and park at the water gap parking area and would like a shuttle to Little gap on...

Hey folks
Was out doing a section in Massachusetts. We camped by the ledge and tent platform and I left my little solar charger propped up against a boulder. It's yellow with a black carabiner on...

Would like to start at penn-mar park and hike to shippenberg road parking area on the first weekend of December...anyone interested?
I am a moderate paced female hiker in mid 40's. Looking to do 10...

I usually bring a tea-light candle when camping in CT. It's not a fire but it does give us something to look at. Lol! I'm a rule follower too so I don't build a fire if it's banned. I don't want to...

Today's the day...getting my Warbonnet Superfly tarp with doors! Can't wait to spend shoulder season in my WBBB hammock.

Glad the foliage is starting to get good. Heading up to do a section in Mass from US 20 to jugs end road. I'm looking forward to some color in the forest. It's looking a little rainy on Monday but...

I think a 20 degree bag would be fine. That's what I would take - unless there was a
sever cold snap predicted. If you get chilly you could just put on your long johns, down coat,etc

i would...

This weekend's section hike was awesome! Very dry as others have mentioned. The water source at Sharon mountian campsite was literally a puddle but at least there was water. No time to stop at silver...

Yep! that's the scouts in our area...it's really troubling to me that as an organization they teach, or I should say don't teach, leave no trace and proper storage of food and other scented items....

thanks for the info Linus72. I'll pass along the info when I get back on sunday. if for some reason I forget, shoot me a PM.

So planning to do a 3 day section hike of the section in CT from Salisbury 41/44 to river road. Seems pretty straight forward from looking at the guidebooks and maps.

I checked the parking...

A bunch of us did this last year and even in 3 days it was exhausting. No shortage of elevation changes...but it's so worth it!

If you're looking to do a loop type backpack then Harriman fits the bill. You could hike 14miles a day and camp at a different spot and loop back to the car. The Johnstontown circle parking area is a...
