I wanted to do a little trail magic in PA. I plan to hand out drinks, fruit, and water to thru hikers. It will be in the area of Wind Gap, PA. That's in the northern section of the AT in PA. Between what dates could I expect the bubble to be in northern PA?

There should be plenty of hikers passing through PA over the next month. I did a section from Swatara to Port Clinton last weekend and met numerous NOBOs and a few Flip Floppers as well.

Just saw about 2 dozen in Boiling Springs yesterday so they're on their way. There's another big bubble around mile 900 so you'll see plenty of hikers for the next month.

From mid-June through mid-July is when the NOBO thru hikers should be at their thickest in northern Pennsylvania. Please consider handing out stuff to all hikers you see, rather than just thru hikers;).

There's a bunch passing through Wind Gap now. We invited 3 + dogs to tent in my backyard Monday night then 3 more on Tuesday night. They said there's another group coming through, the Warriors (Vets).
