    Still looking forward to this. I am thinking of ditching the dehydrated food on this trip and bringing real food.

    I've read the details. This does sound very good! I'm at 8143214958. Besides I owe Rick a buck. I'm as slow as your slowest and proud of it! Can easily make the plan as you've got it so far. Sparky.

    No problem - we still have a month to figure out where we are going to meet at....... .......your plan on milage sounds good.
    I have all my gear now, I am happy with how its all working together. This trip will make sure that I am happy with all my winter clothes choices, after that all I need to do is figure out how I can knock off a few ozs - figure on about 3/4 pound by custom cuts to the length of my rain gear and such.

    I am closer to the HF side of the trail.
    Sparky will pass the top of the trail.
    LastHonestFool, Where are you located at? Figure if your passing one of the trail heads you night be able to pick that person up so we dont spent all day driving back and forth?

    I have Bodenhorn asking about the parking, we work different days so it might take a little bit to get a answer but no problem.......lots of time.

    You guys are hiking south to Harpers Ferry, right? You can leave your car at the Park's designated lot for visitors. It's not real close to the heart of town but they have a shuttle which runs pretty much constantly during their 8-5 hours. Call or e-mail the Park.

    Doggiebag, Join us!! - Let us know what it looks like and where you would be planning to meet us. Thanks!

    We are allowed to leave our cars at the out fitters at Harpers Ferry. Will be a small walk to get there, but nothing bad.

    Now for the top half...........

    Last Honest Fool....as of now I am thinking we should meet at Harpers Ferry, drop one of our vehicles off and then hook up with Sparky at the top end.
