    Going to miss me by about a month. I'll be there in mid December trying not to get shot at during deer season. Sorry.

    I would be game but I don't think I quite have the cold weather gear that would be necessary for PA winters. Although I would still consider it if I have a free schedule. If I could go, it would be an excuse to acquire more gear and who doesn't like that?

    Looks like they're in for a good snow this weekend. Should be an interesting winter.

    It's been snowing on I80 all day, getting me excited for whats to come. As far as cold weather gear, it all depends on how cold you get.

    I might be able to hike then, depending on if I'm working or not. How long?

    Keep in mind the PA Ruck is at the end of January at Pine Grove Furnace State Park.

    I would be up for it, let me know the dates. There is always the Pennmar section - good section.

    Just gotta make sure I have off those days.

    Well when I am hiking with others I always share them.

    Pa in Jan might be up for it we will have to see what I have going work wise. I had hoped for an end of Sept hike that turned into a Oct hike which is looking more like maybe possibly a Nov hike which will most likely convert to a Dec hike but with the holidays is probably going to be a Jan hike in PA. Thus is my life. Well on the bight side if we get lots of snow it will hide all the PA rocks. Some of the Gaps should be lots of fun with a bit of snow and ice.

    Some Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey communities saw snow on October 16. State College recorded 4.5 inches and more may be on the way. See Northeast Fall Snowstorm Breaks Records in New York, Pa. for more information and a photo.

    Local weather prognosticators talk of snow north of Kittatinny Ridge and the ridge itself may be white for a short time too. I've been unable to obtain a forecast from our most reliable source as local grundsow are unavailable for comment.

    ...would be interested in anywhere between port clinton and pine grove furnace state park... either hiking in the same direction, or if number of days or pace is an issue, getting a car in place for each of us, and hiking in opposite directions to our cars.

    So game for a winter PA hike! Sounds like there is a lot of interest in it too. I also like the PenMar section, or anywhere around there. Keep us informed as to when/where you want to do this!
    Not all those who wander are lost.

    I am still working loose ends and have not gotten to think much about it(dang work). I open for anything, if we plan a "group" hike we will all need to decide where to start. I would suggest just figure
