Not knowing more, I think Annapolis, MD would be nice for that plan. But, it's...

What are your transportation options? You can train to Charlottesville and go from Rockfish Gap south to the James River and then train back to DC from Lynchburg. That's 75-80 miles on the AT. ...

Agreed. Pennsylvania's state forest trails were the principal factor in my decision to start hanging. It's so easy to now hike until after sunset without care of wondering where the next ground...

Regarding Maine, and Back to the subject of Noel, the two may come together by the weekend.

Yeah, my thoughts from afar, too. But, I also figure that if in the same situation, I would probably go against that better judgment and try to keep going down on my own. I'm stubborn about not...

Almost no chance for Georgia. But, don't fret yet. The overall pattern has changed somewhat this month. It's a much more active one now. For all we know, this winter and next spring could be a...
