I realize that Whiteblaze is for AT hikers, I apolgize if this post is OT here. But I have been able to find barely any info on thru-hiking the Allegheny Trail on the net and was hoping maybe someone here could help.
I did find one website:
http://www.wvnet.edu/wvsta/ but info there is scant, and there are no dates on it, for all I know the website hasn't been updated in years. They do advertise a trail guide (3rd edition), but again, with no publication date listed, there is no way to know if it is current.
Ebay has a very old hiker guide for 8 bucks, but descriptions of the booklet include the term "crudely made", or something.
No luck on trailjournals.com either.
What I am hoping to find is info on current trail conditions, current maps, shelters, re-supply points, etc. And basically if this trail is safely do-able in under a month for a lone hiker. I hope to thru-hike it this spring (2007). What I'd REALLY love to find is a trip report from someone who has done it end to end recently.
Any help or advice would be great, thanks!
