2011 Section Hikers

[SmokeEater]

Just wanted to see who all was section hiking this year. I hiked from Davenport to Hot Springs in April. Hoping to hike to Erwin from Hot Springs this fall sometime. Heading north little by little.

February:Harper's Ferry to Waynesboro, PA
April: Springer to Franklin
June: Dennis Cove to Damascus

[Lyle]

Well, you already know my plans for June, but here we go:

June: Erwin to Damascus (this is definite and will complete the AT from Springer to Lehigh Gap in PA thus far)

Sept: Hopefully, first half of Tahoe Rim Trail (postponed from Sept of 2010)

Oct or Nov: North from Lehigh Gap for two weeks

I usually try to do one or two trips on the AT, aiming to complete it before I retire, and another trip "someplace else". There are just so many great places to see, I have a tough time, and no desire to just ignoring everything but the AT. :-)

Just finished my SOBO this year sectioning PA and MD to HF

Headed to Fontana to Damascus in about 3 weeks.

[Kerosene]

Winding Stair Gap to Fontana Dam the 3rd week of May with my daughter, Sunshine, continuing from where we left off last year.

While I love hiking with my daughter, I'm definitely covering less ground on my annual section hike, to the point where I'm not going to meet my 40-year target to cover the entire AT! Oh well. Guess I'll have to change my signature.

Southwest VA this Spring, Manchester VT to Hanover in Sept, hopefully complete VA in Nov or Dec. Travel getting further and further from Philly!

Planning on doing the Shenandoah NP last two weeks in Sept. working my way from the middle outward. next year looks like from DWG to as far north as I can get in three weeks.

[10-K]

Bartram Trail in July or August.

I try to get in at least 100 miles a month somewhere - usually within 75 miles of Erwin either on the AT or in one of the national forests....
