    Where are you hiking in NH in July ? If early July the black flies might be a nuisance .

    Spray DEET on your clothes and on the brim of your cap.

    Wow, I thought I was the only one that suddenly got excited and started planning my hikes. So far, I'm thinking:
    Cheshire, MA to Wallingford, VT (August)
    Nolichucky River Area in TN (Feb)
    Hot Springs, NC area
    McAfee Knob Area in VA
    Big Bald Area in TN
    Southern PA (up to Carlisle)
    maybe a few other 2 day and 1 day hikes in GA, NC, or TN

    I am section hiking the Florida Trail this year and doing my first section on the AT in May and I know once I do a section of the AT I will never be the same because I am totally obcessed with it and have read and studied everything I can only because if fills in my time until I can get on it. In my spare time for the fun of it I have been visiting Florida State Forests and doing the Trailwalkers Program which has taken me to alot areas I would never have considered so that has been fun.

    My son is thinking of going to law school in Virginia and the first thing I looked for was the schools he mentioned and their proximity to the trail because I will be visiting him alot. I figure dinner with my son and a few days on the trail will be a good visit, now if I can get him hiking I would see him more.

    The Long Trail, sometime this summer.

    I know, I know - I said I was hiking this last year. This time it's definite. If I'm able to swing any additional unpaid time off, I'll probably try to do the Tuscarora Trail in autumn.

    I am going to hike the Batona Trail in Jersey as my first adventure. Then I will move onto hiking parts of the AT. I think I want to hike a section around the delaware water gap, I am also intersted in lehigh gap, so maybe I can do a hike between these two points.

    I will start hiking Georgia next month and hope to finish it by the end of the year in three separate trips. Lots of weekend trips to state parks such as South Mountain and Stone Mountain in between. Plenty of day hiking at the local haunt (Lake Norman state park) as well. I plan on being a walking SOB this year.

    My latest craze is vintage travel trailers. Bought me a 1966 and taking it to the Smokies in May, and do some day hikes there. Sullivan lake, Indiana for a weekend, then maybe back on the AT for a few weeks in July

    I have a daughter who lives in Olathe, KS. I visit her several times a year and always look for places in Kansas and Missouri to hike. In Missouri, it is often along the Lewis and Clark Trail. I followed the Lewis and Clark Trail from near St. Louis all the way to the Pacific Ocean, but there are several places in Missouri where the trail has more than one path. (To make it clear, I didn't hike the entire length of the Lewis and Clark Trail. I drove it, but stopped daily along the way to hike for an hour or two.)

    I am now in Arizona, enjoying some great January hiking. Yesterday I did a loop hike in Saguaro National Park. I love being outside.

    Assuming you are going north from there...that is where I go the most. Cheoh Bald is one of my favorite spots period. Great place to tent provided you don't need water and your tent is anchored good!

    Three trips planned for Springs thus far; Springer to Neel Gap in March, NOC to Winding Stair Gap for the April Fool's Bash and a yet unplanned hike into Damascus for Trail Days. I'm sure I can squeeze in a couple more hikes as well. Would like to finish GA this year before the hot weather smacks us in the face and knock out the Smokies in Autumn.

    Not sure yet but I'm guess around or shortly after the 4th. It will largely depend on my hiking partner because I have no life and he does!

    Thanks for the warning. I still haven't experienced the black fly menace yet. Is is worse than the No See Ums?
