In case anyone is wondering how this came out, I ended up at Stokes State Forest in NJ. The AT runs along its eastern edge. The weather forecast turned bad and cabins, with 4 bunks, electricity,...

I have a few days around the coming equinox that I want to spend camping near the Delaware Water Gap. I'm not the only one with this idea - the Mohican Outdoor Center is already full for Saturday the...
So I just got back from Fahnestock Park and stayed at Dennytown Road. There are several group camping sites. These have picnic tables, porta potties and fire pits. We got there after 5 PM on a...
Thanks for the detailed answers.
I confirmed today (Sunday July 17) with the contact given by Golden Bear, that a night of camping is allowed in Edward R Murrow Park
Today at 3 PM the showers were...
2 weeks or so ago I saw a news story that said Pawling NY was permitting? allowing? overnight camping. Since only White Blaze can be trusted to get such a technical matter right, I'll ask here: Is...
Thanks again. I noticed that the White Blaze guide says to carry water to the 10 Mile Shelter.
Thanks, Daybreak. Very helpful.

These are helpful comments, but I’m still confused. I hope to be on this section, alert and oriented and Southbound, in July. But:1) Does the new shelter in Fahnestock State Park have a name? Has...
Duplicate post.
I am a 73 year old section hiker with a 5 year old knee replacement. I did a lot of walking but not backpacking the first year after surgery; since then I've done 3 10-day backpacking trips on the...
Has anyone done this southwest loop, described on the Damascus web page? Do the trails actually intersect, or do you walk 91 for awhile? Alltrails does not show the Iron Mountain Trail SW of...
Hello Pickle
I had my right knee replaced in 2018, when I was 69.
In 2019, we did Springer Mt to Woody Gap, about 21 miles, and Spivey Gap to Allen Gap, about 42 miles. We skipped last year...
Wow. Thanks. I would say this one was asked and answered.
I have queried White Blaze a few times over the years, I always learn good stuff.
Lone Wolf, good to know about a functioning Damascus...
Has anyone used the AT and the Iron Mountain Trail to make a loop from Damascus to Troutdale - Rt 16 - Hurricane Campground and back in the last few years? I've found a lot of comments, albeit with...
The mission for 2020 was Kent CT to Bear Mt Park, about 90 miles, all new trail to me. That got cancelled.
So D, I guess. My regular partner and I are both old and vaccinated. I think we would need...
Still trying to sell it? Message me.
Thanks

Not that I need more craziness, but what's the name of the Facebook group?
Thanks

Thanks. Leaves me out.

Do you know the size? S, M, L?
Thanks
I'll never forget that barn and its spring. I watched a guy almost swallow one of those orange newts? salamanders? that had snuck into his wide mouth Nalgene when he filled it at the spring. It was...
Wow, mapman. In real life I was an epidemiologist, did research my whole 40-year professional life. I can tell what an enormous amount of time and attention you put into it.
Thanks, everybody.
About Ralph's Peak Hikers' Cabin: I wondered what that RPH stood for on the map. They have a Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RPHCVC/ Looks like good folks.
I have a hiking...
Perfect. Just what I was hoping for.
I plan to do the section from Bear Mountain Bridge NY to Falls Village CT, about 80 miles, this year. I'm retired and have some flexibility about when I go. The bridge is about 1500 miles from...
Thanks, everyone.. I was up there last summer, and did some hiking along the AT in the Delaware Water Gap. I thought that the area near the NY border looked promising, but I ran out of time. I'll...
