If you want to see a partial eclipse may I recommend Iron Master's hostel at Pine Grove State Park. Hiking on the AT, nice place to stay plus sitting on the front porch is free.

Why no PA Ruck? The one at Ironmaster's Hostel was super!
Why carry something else? I go to the hostel or hotel for rechange. Thus saving weight.
Where are planning to hike? What time of year? KTA has something coming up soon. (Check their homepage.)
Do stop at the Ice cream stand near the halfway point. It's worth it.
Why do all the storms in this area follow the AT? It doesn't matter how big or small the storm is, they all start and end on the AT. The folks in Duncannon get it first and Allentown get it last. You...
Same here. Hiking parking lot are full. Waiting will bring more hikers out. Watch, you'll see. Happy New Year.
I remember those heavy boots. Never again! I feel light and free with the light weight boots on.
Today on the today show they talked about a Jr. Ranger. What's that? Does it let our buddies in to that park (Shenandoah N.P.) without a care?
Today my wife and I gave each other pre-Christmas gifts. She gave me the 13 state challenge patch. I almost lost it! All the miles, all the time on the trail came flooding back. WoW!!! How about you?...
How many hike in the Winter? In the Snow and Cold. Post your hike here.
I agree with others, start slow. Maybe a easy section hike. (The Cumberland Valley comes to mine.) :banana:banana:banana:banana
It's a fun group who hikes the AT and other trails in PA.
KTA just announce where it's going to meet for it's Spring Meeting. Stroudsburg, near the AT!:bananaIt's going to be a blast!
You don't seem to understand. The AT is changing. I got in the mail, yesterday points that out. An AT Christmas tree ornament was not from the a tree in the East. It was an Aspen tree. (CO) WOW
Is this it? Are we all doomed?
What are the avenge age of your club? Being a member of KTA, I see the age creeping up all the time. I wonder how long the are going to keep the trails open?
If this year is any measure, it rains ALL Spring and was over 95 F the Summer. You might it up and hike in the Fall.
Hanging out at Iron Master's hostel I notice the avenge age is going way up. The youngest was 30's, the oldest was 60s.
Now that the average age for the At is going up, I was wondering when something end? (Over the top drinking etc.)
What about the old type that are made with Rawhide that goes by the names like Beavertail or something like that? Better or worse then the modern types?
I have an old Tubbs Snowshoes but I am interested in ones that give you enough float so you can carry a pack. (off trail.) Any ideas?
I was listen to the poem, "The Road Not Taken". and it reminds of the trail. Miles my feet did follow. Now that it cold and rainy, I long to follow it. Anyone else?...
Man, would I LOVE a copy of the Katahdin sign:-? for Christmas!!! Is anyone planning to make a few for sale? (For Christmas)
What do you get your better half (Hiker) for Christmas? She has everything she could want. What are you giving your wife/husband, girlfriend, boyfriend or whatever? I was thinking of renewing hers...
