Weekend Thread..what's everybody up to??

[Grassi21]

Heading up to Bartlett, NH for the week. Do some MTB-ing, hiking, etc... Thinking of getting Pierce and Ike, maybe the Osceolas. Depends on how the youngster holds-up. She's pretty tough.

Dude, that sounds like some work? How is the knee holding up?

 

[2knees]

We will probably bring the little one down to see his grandparents on Sunday. Bed, Bath, and Beyone, maybe Home Depot....

Mets game tomorrow too. Dinner at one of the 10,000 Asian eateries in Flushing afterward.

I typically start my hike at the Little Gap parking area..1/2 mile south of the upper entrance to Blue mountain ski area...and hike west on the Appalachian trail..The first 1/2 mile is straight uphill and climbs about 400-500 vert..then it flattens out and after about 2 miles..everything is barren..no trees or anything with great views of the Poconos and the Lehigh Valley..After 5 miles the trail descends about 1,000 vert to the Lehigh River..it's my favorite local hike( I live 17 miles away) and I often see wild Turkeys, deer, snakes, and I've seen 3 bears before..I usually hike for about 3 hours

Thanks, I'm presently looking at the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) Area (believe it's just north of the Delaware Water Gap) , looks like some interesting hikes there. Ever been?

I've never heard of it...but in the Palmerton area...alot of mining really messed up the local environment and that's why there isn't much vegetation along that section of the Appalachian trail..

Hiking definitely makes me think about skiing alot..

The coach asked if we were all farmers.

This is the point when life shifts. My bud is throwing a party this weekend. He had to send out a follow up e-mail stating that kids are invited but that this will not effect the level of debauchery displayed by those without kids.

Look here: http://gorp.away.com/gorp/resource/us_nra/pa/hik_del.htm under the heading "Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) Area - Pennsylvania " Sounds interesting, may try it tomorrow. There the one part that states you descent off a ledge that has guide ropes for assistence. And then there's:


Sensory Trail - 0.25 mile. Sensory experience. Hiker is blindfolded before starting. A rope guides user around loop. Pick up blindfolds at main office. Allow 20 minutes.

On a differnt note, at your rate, you should be the number 1 poster by end of week
