2013 Section Hikers

[slbirdnerd]

Springer to Bly Gap or bust! Mid-June. Can't wait.

[keepinitsimple]

PA Rocks roughly sections 1-7, or Susquehanna R. to Delaware River. Southern half of state is slightly less rocky. Look for Devil's Racecourse in St Anthony's wilderness, a block field on no maps, looked for it 3 times, cant find it, section 6 or 7. Video on you tube, but no directions

[Canam]

Springer to Harpers Ferry or so, depending on time

[PapaGarrettP]

Hiking SOBO from Davenport Gap to Fontana Dam on March 30 - April 6. Can't wait!

[Matjok]

Delaware water gap to Bear mountain by end of May- 1st week of June. My daughter will be hiking with me.

[No Hurry]

Hanover, NH to (hopefully) Lee, MA leaving Monday the 17th!!

[Ktaadn]

Springer north until I run out of money ($1,000 is in the budget, how far will it go?)

I don't know why but this struck me as a line that should be in a Dr. Seuss book. "How far will it go? I do not know. Go ask your mother."

[Ktaadn]

Ashby Gap south to Rockfish Gap.

[trailchick]

Harpers Ferry WV to CT....Leaving June 1st or 2nd.

Erwin Tennessee to Damascus in September

Trying to fill in a section in SW Virginia, leaving next weekend. My knees willing and the creek don't rise, I'll make it from Newport to Atkins on this trip, about 130 miles.

[Astro]

Hot Springs to Daleville or Waynesboro in July.

[skippysjs]

Caledonia State Park in PA to Rockfish Gap in July.

[Coosa]

Don't want to thread drift here but when do the rocks start in PA? Anyone?

I understand they don't go away when you leave the state... ahhh!

Maryland.

There are rocks after Pogo campsite. Then from High Rock, MD toward Pen Mar there's a 1/2 to 3/4 mile of rocks that some describe as '2 miles long' .... I'm old and slow and it took me 2 hours.

See the blog for some photos.

From an 'as yet to be released' post on my blog: It's frustrating to be hiking along at a good clip, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine, only to find that the 'Trail planners' have decided to take you off the old logging road Trail and send the Trail up a steep incline to the rocky ridge line in order to create a Trail through a maze of boulders the size of 'smart cars' and 'baby elephants' through which you must attempt to locate the next white blaze and then after a quarter mile, descend on a jumble of boulders and rocks back down to that same old logging road Trail until the 'Trail planners' decide to repeat the process.

That's a great section! It's funny b/c my daughter had those same gaps before she closed them up last July!

We are trying to get PA done!
