SoBo SNP mid to Late Sept.

[sasquatch2014]

That is a great area Doggiebag and myself did it this past April and had a blast. I don't think that it will work to meet up this time I hope that by those dates I will be almost if not completly out o e park headed south. I know the start of my trip is firm the back end is a bit still open I think that I may be able to stay out as late as the 29th on this little trip and still have enough spoucel karma saved up to do a 3 or 4 day trip in Oct to wrap up Ct/Mass

Ok throwing this out early. Planning a SoBo trip through SNP somewhere in the time around the middle or end of Sept. Heck Wrongway is even saying that he may be done with his thru by then and join in for the stroll south and of you other Parade O'Fools alumni care to join in?

I might be interested in joining you if it's late Sep. How many miles do you think you'll be doing each day?

[sasquatch2014]

I have not done the park before but most people say that 20 a day through the park is very easy to do. Less the first day as that is where the big climb of the trip is getting up onto othe ridge line.

When you get your dates firmed up - let me know so I can help you shuttle into the trailhead and back out to your vehicle when you're done. It's the least I could do for all the folks you've been helping up north.

I'd love to join you guys, but I'm already hiking from Sheffield, MA to Bennington, VT in mid-Sept.

[sasquatch2014]

I did that a bunch of that section last year in the other direction starting in Bennington. It was great the leaves were just getting started. Have a blast. Stay a night at the Bird Cage if you can Rob is a great guy.

What's that?

[sasquatch2014]

The Bird Cage is one of the two places in the town of Dalton Mass that you can stay in town. Tom Levardi is the other guy who lets hikers stay at his place as well.

Looks like I'll see you guys in the park. Plan is shuttle to Rockfish Gap (wife) on the 21st then go until I reach Harpers Ferry and Amtrak back to Va Beach. Should be fun. Anyone esle up for a NOBO?? The SOBO just won't work out due to my sons hockey games in Richmond on the 20th.

[mtnkngxt]

I could NOBO but not until the 3rd of of October.

Retirement from the Navy on Oct 17th... need time beforehand to get things in order, hence the mid-Sept start.

[sasquatch2014]

We will have to keep an eye out for each other as we pass in the park. Plan as still pretty open right now for me but thinking that I would almost like to just get on the trail with no plans for anything other than to walk south until its time to get home. You know let all the stuff in the middle sort itself out.

Hey there!! I'd love to join you if I'm back in time...we'll see how that goes Have a good one!!! Peace

[sasquatch2014]

You have a great wrap up to your hike I am really jealous i am sure it is awesome up there at this time of year. I am counting the days until I can hit the trail.

I'm headed up that way to do the park as well sometime in mid Sept.
Look forward to running into some of you.

Looks lke I am going to sit around the house and fatten up for a while, lost a little over 40 pounds on the thru-hike.

This is a good area and 20 mile days will be easy for you, your hiking harder stuff around your house. Looks like the weather will be in your favor also.

will drop you a call tonight.

I know you like to cook with grease so i'll try to find a recipe for Deep Fried Twinkie's that will be sure to add the lbs right back on to you in on time at all.

Counting the days until my hike and until I go and get this tooth yanked. I feel like i have lost a few days time to the haze that is Vicoden.

[Lost_Soul]

I thought you said his name was Mr Fluffy Far*y Bottoms ?

[wrongway_08]

Just talked to Sasquatch. He is sitting in a hotel in Waynesboro (sp?) - clean and warm!
