Not hiking, unfortunately, but preparing for The Big One next year with my new four-legged friend! I'm starting obedience classes with my newly-adopted trail dog. She's a sweetheart, and should prove easy to train. :D
I'll be hiking in Harriman State Park in NY.
Hiking or spring skiing...
If I get through some gardening chores, I'll be setting up my hammock in the back field for the annual pre-section-hike shakedown.

Not hiking for a while. Too hot for a couple months now here in FLA. I really need to move up to GA/NC. I hate the summers here.

The weather is beautiful, the water is a deep blue and the mountains are calling me. What a perfect place to be.

This weekend I'm doing Dick's Creek Gap to Tray Mtn. Last time I tried this hike it was covered in 2-3ft of snow and my group turned back about 4mi in. N. GA. is just the closest for me.

Jogging this afternoon (after a guitar lesson)
Then my continuing work trying to get my family a visa to come visit the states as there is no work here anymore with the crap in Bangkok.
Hotel had 12% occupancy last week.
Today, they said almost everybody cancelled.
Not hiking this weekend, maybe on Sunday.
Saturday my daughter and I are going to an early season track meet.
I will see if I can hold ot together for a 1500m and the wee one will run 1200m.
Next weekend is a long weekend here in Canada. It is a good weekend to hit places like Cape Cod because stuff is opened up but not busy and more relaxed because your long is the weekend after ours. I don't think we will be able to make it down to the Boston States however. Thinking maybe the Fundy Footpath if my daughter is up for it.

Spending this glorious weekend by playing disc golf, longboarding, hiking, camping, kayaking, and anything else I can cram in!
It's beautiful here in Pa, I'm taking advantage of it!

I'm heading to Delaware Water Gap today for both Mt. Tammney and Mt. Minsi. I was camping near Mt. Minsi a week ago. Can somebody explain what happened to the brushes cleared at the top?

Went on an eight mile hike this morning. Just got done weed-eating around the yard, now I get to mow.
Oh boy.
It's been another day in "paradise". I've been reading, watching TV, and, of course, surfing at Whiteblaze. Now, I'm going out for a quick bite; maybe I'll get a chocolate-dipped ice cream cone for desert. K2
Hiked the Camp Hoover Loop and Hawksbill in SNP yesterday. This morning I ambled around Wildcat Mountain Refuge.

writing a holocaust research paper. So excited
Attended my sons graduation from Penn State.
Weekend is pretty much over, and I led the DelVal Chapter of Trail Dames on some short hikes at Hickory Run State Park in PA. Stinking PA rocks! I took a header when a little rocked moved under my foot. Found myself sprawled across the Shades of Death Trail. Almost hit my head on a rock, but took a good solidly on the strap of my daypack on the left side of my chest. I'm just a little sore and bruised, so you can go ahead and point and laugh at me.

Congrats!!
Friday and Saturday camping with my son's Cub Scout den at Broad Creek Memorial Sout Camp. Lots of rain Friday night but Saturday was a great day. Spent the day fishing and caught 12 large and small mouth bass as well as 3 crappie. Good day of fishing to follow with a great dinner and huge bonfire!
Can't get much better than that.:D
I went on a short hike with a friend at Mianus River Gorge. 4 mile hikes perplex me. Just when I am totally in a state of bliss, the hike is suddenly over.
