Philly Hikers

[Wonder]

I have seen many "Philly Pholk" here on WB. Many who are leaving to hike this year! I thought that it maybe fun for all of us to get together sometime in the next couple weeks. Since many off us are in the suburbs, we should try and find a central local, probably the city. I work at World Cafe Live in University city which might be a spot, but I will go anywhere.
What do you think?

Hey T-80,
XPN is my favorite radio station! I work at a car lot and I set every radio to 88.5. Cheesewhiz and Wyclif live near me. After work today, a friend and I are going out to the Ruck. Got to take advantage of this weather. It's going to snow on Monday! I hike all the time along the Brandywine near Thompsons Bridge. Canoe from Lenape to Thompsons Bridge also.
Say hi to David Dye and the crew at the Cafe!

No prob.....though my only connection to them is serving them a 1/2 price lunch....lol. how would you feel about a get together.....wilimington is near by for me......shucks, thats where I buy everything. Anyway, let me know. I just picked up a very parttime job in claymont to help supplement my hike money.

How about a weekend hike at Hawk Mountain which is in Hamburg PA>near Cabellas. Only an hour and 30 minutes from here. Day hike a Saturday or Sunday or meet there Saturday nite and stay at Windsor Furnace shelter and hike the AT. Big burgers,giant fries, and cold Yuengling in Port Clinton which is only 6 miles from the shelter. Are you going to Duncannon in March?

[Wonder]

Sounds great, but may be tough for me. I'm a waitress and they do let our kinds out much on the weekends. I may be able to take a sat night and sun off.....I'll let you know. Man, I'd love to get in one more night before march.....I'll see what I can do. I was thinking along the lines of meeting up for dinner and talk one night. I know many of us will be leaving soon, and traded info would most likely help many of us.

Sounds like fun!

[Wonder]

HOw is next Wed. evening for everyone? ANd what is better for people philly or someplace like King of Prussia?

[Cheesewhiz]

Sorry for the delayed responce, I was at the PA ruck all weekend. I leave 3/17 to head south so I am pretty clear all evenings and weekends. Next weekend is the Billville winter warmer at the doyle! Im probably going to that. But who knows

[Wonder]

I don't think the warmer is until march.......

[Jack Tarlin]

The Duncannon event is indeed 3-5 March, and NOT next weekend!

[Mouse]

Wed sounds good, either downtown or King of Prussia.

[Wonder]

It will most likely be downtown, since I don't think that all have cars....... WOuld I sound like a BIG dork is I said lets have fun with this. All bring our stoves and each try different trail a recipe.....fun, yet educational

[Cheesewhiz]

I'm sorry, your absolutely right my dumb mistake, I knew it was the first weekend in March, I guess I was just IMAGINING next weekend was the first weekend in march in anxiety for my start date.

Hay, Cheesewhiz,

Lucky you left before the rain started. It would have been good proctice for the trail though. Had to tear down the tent in the rain and everything got wet. It's all drying in my livingroom now. Everyone looked like drowned rats. They all woke up at 11am with hangovers to the sound of rain on the tent roof. Had to hit the road without breakfast or lunch. I guess it'll make up for all the beer last night.

Hey I live in Philly (Center City) - the Philly peeps meeting up?

[ARambler]

I'd like to get together. This Wednesday is not too good for me unless you are going to stay out late.
