I was there in April. I did not have as much free time as I hoped to but I did get out a little bit. I went up the Philosophers walk across the river from the town, and walked a bit on a trail...

Thank you everyone for the information. Hopefully I can put it to good use.

I'll have one day of free time in Heidelberg Germany and I've heard some rumors of good hiking in the area. Does anyone know anything about it? I heard about some nice day hiking in the hills...

I've parked in both lots many times and have never had a problem with either one. Also, the trail pretty much goes right through both lots. Either one should be fine.

I had a pair of Timberlands a few years ago. They held up great and I probably hiked on some of the same rocks that you spoke of before. I replaced them because of problems with the fit, not their...

When you get back from your hike, if you can, post a short report. I'll be doing the exact same section two weeks later and it would be great to get some information on the conditions...

Last month I left my car right in town on one ot the streets. There was no problem but it was just one night not a few weeks. I did see a car at the lot on Rt. 61 with every window broken out. ...

Different injury so it doesn't directly relate, but in two seperate incidences I tore the ACL in both of my knees. Both times I was back out hiking (carefully) at three months and back to all normal...

You can take a bus from Hanover to the old AT crossing of Rt. 4 at the Long Trail Inn. I did this in reverse in 2003. I forget the name of the bus company. It was either Vermont Transit or Green...

Victoria, I would love to talk to you about your hike as I'm currently having major hiking withdrawal due to the fact that I'm recovering from knee surgery. At the moment I can barely walk, so...

I also had a complete ACL tear (skiing). I had surgery with the patellar graft in May 2004. In August 2004 I started doing overnight hikes of 10 - 15 mile days. No braces, no knee pain, just some...

I have not seen that movie so I'm not sure exactly what you are talking about, but if they are the ones that Saimyoji linked to, they are very warm. I've used them for ice rescues. I was submerged...

I hiked in PA during rifle season one time and I will never make that mistake again! I had some of the worst hiking experiences ever on that trip. It was the only time I ever was happy to get out...

Tyvek is no good. It doesn't breathe at all. I do fire/hazmat work so I wear it a lot. It forms a vapor barrier so nothing gets in or out. All of your body heat will stay inside and your sweat...

#1 Clark's ferry bridge over the Susquehana river by Duncannon. Not as high as Bear Mtn. or Delaware Water Gap, but certainly longer.

Just like A-Train said above, I've left mine there many times and never had any problems.

I parked at the above mentioned lot on the corner of 443 and 72 for a few days two weeks ago and there were no problems.

I always keep the food outside and the pack inside. I've never had a problem, even in the heavy bear areas like NJ.

I just made one of these stoves and I use 200 proof pure ethanol. It works real well. As it has been said before, you need a higher alcohol content.

I'm also rehabing my knee and quad muscle after knee surgery in April. My physical therapist has me on a stair machine (stairmaster), a treadmill, and a stationary bike. I'm also doing several...

I stopped in briefly in 2001 and it didn't seem that bad. I just had ate and moved on but if the timing was different I would have stayed. It might not be the fanciest shelter on the trail but it's...

For a 2 day trip you have several good options. As mentioned above, from Delaware Water Gap to highpoint is a nice ridgewalk. The only part that might have crowds would be at DWG. The whole...

Gravityman,
Thanks for the reply. It's good to hear from someone who dealt with this and did well. Every bit of good news like that makes me a little bit better. I never had any doubt that I...

I have recently been the victim of an unfortunate skiing accident that resulted in me being the proud owner of a torn anterior cruciate ligament. I'm scheduled for reconstructive surgery in a few...

Blue Jay, we met briefly at the Gren Anderson shelter in NJ back in June, 2000. We talked for a little while then you stayed in the shelter and I tented out back. Desperado came by and we all...
