    Hikers... Possible June 18-20 2010 outing DATE SET

    i am thinking of going on my first 3 day 2 night hike in years. anyone want to go? not sure on location yet. lookin at some thing easy to start and then on 2nd day alittle challanging. was thinking of the 2nd or 3rd leg of the 80 mile trail at ohio pyle. pick it up out on i believe 711 north of connelsville at the ranger station and camp site.

    trying to get in shape and my sister wants to go but she is way more out of shape then me. so large hills and mountains are out for now.

    if ya want to go copy and paste the next post & add your name and status.

    Laurel trail would be the ticket but not exactly small hills. You should be good to go by June though with minimal training.

    I commend you planning ahead and looking for people to go with you, but I think cutting and pasting a list in February will be kind of fruitless.

    Good luck.

    not sure when in june. mile wise i was thinking about 30 or so. 3 days 2 nite. if my sister dont go then i was thinking about starting at ohiopyle. she wont be able to hike the hill at the trail entrance.
    there is 2 good lakes just off the trail ... i fished there last time i was there ... cought 4 trout on small spoons in about 1 hour. YUMMMMM they where good.
    Laural highlands trail will be the one ..... for june. near end of May i'll get a list of who is going ... mybe we can get a group rate for the camp areas.

    asfar as wheelin .... i cant until i get my lift in .... tomarrow i start pullin the stock crap off.

    I wonder if my pack and tent are even still at my parents, it's been years since I did an overnight hike... I might be up for it if it fits into the schedule (need a date set), I always enjoyed it.

    20th is father's day, and I'm heading to Michigan as early as the 21st, so I'll have to play this one by ear (don't count me in just yet.)

    don't want to say yes for sure, but I am pretty sure I can do it. Just for the record, I have never hiked once in my life, and have no idea what I would even need or what to pack.
