Have a great trip! When you get back I don't get the BBM above. Are you hiking and carrying your bike and then riding it back? You know me, I have a hard time with words.
Can't wait to hear about your trip with PICTURES (hint hint)

I had a good trip. God a phone call from my best friend. His father passed away. So I had to plan to get home eariler.

My 1st hike was 16 miles. It was past a very popular hike in PA called the Pinicle. It's said to be the best view from the AT in PA. I can concure with that. I was luckly and 3 other hikers gave me a ride from where I parked to where I was to start hiking. The 1st 6 miles I had the trail all to myself. After that I got to the part of the trail where the crowds were. I meet two couples and got to interact wtih them about hiking and other things. Sure helped the hike go better.

The second day I decided to hike 10 miles. I dropped my bike at the north end and drove to the south end of the trail. I started hiking at 8 am. This trail had very views. So only a handful of people were hiking it. It was a sunny day with really nice temps. Got to where I left my bike at 12:30, ate lunch and then biked back to my car. 12 miles 50 mins.

Then I started by drive back to MA so I could be at the wake for my freind. But since I got to CT before stopping for the night. I stopped in MA and hiked 5 miles on the Mid-State Trail. Against biked back to my car.

So a great weekend.

So you do all this hiking by yourself? Like your GF doesn't go with you?

 

[dayhiker]

Ya, by myself. GF would like to go on short hikes, to a water falls or something. But she doesn't walk fast enough to do the distances that I do on a hiking weekend like that.

Plus right now she has virtigo (dizzy most of the time).

Sounds like a great weekend..

I need to buy myself some good hiking shoes. Hiking is, for me, healing to my soul. Being a woman I like to go with a group as I feel safe though when I find myself alone especially on the side of a mountain, in a place with a great view, I feel so close to God.

I can relate to that. well other than being a woman on the side of a mounttian. lol
