Four days seems a nice pace. What was yours? Thanks for sharing

Somers515, the Loyalsock is definitely one of the better trails of that list. BFT has more views, the Loyalsock has more falls, streams, cascades. ...

Wrong forum section - gear sales are down in the gear section.

I know where you mean! I turned around on that rebar as it was wet and there was a big ‘ thunder boomer’ rolling in. As I am mainly a solo hiker,...

I am guilty of toking in my tent but I wouldn't in a shelter or if I was close enough to hear people breathe, or with kids around... but really I...
