That's easy, go not during the sales.

Santa was very kind this year.

Nice pack Nate!  Now you can join Jp, Raffy and me backpacking the AT in April. 

Ha!  I'd love to, actually but it seems pretty unlikely.  Plus, this pack is really just a day tripper and supremely overkill for that. But this is HC after all.

Doing a thru?  I've started doing sections and trying to drive my base weight down.

We are going to do a 2 or 3 night trip, possibly in the PA area.

Cool, I've got MD almost done, catching Devils racetrack and working north into PA next.  Probably mid Jan.

If you have any suggestions for a two nighter in the area, 8 to 10 miles a day, post it. Thanks.

I've got no suggestions yet for Pennsylvania, as I've not been there yet. If I come up with any, I'll drop my ideas here. I do like this website http://www.cnyhiking.com/ATinPennsylvania.htm for information, as well as the whiteblaze forum.  You can do all of Maryland in 3 days (some do it in 24 hours).  Harpers Ferry is fun and moving north, the terrain is very easy and the shelters are closely spaced along the way....parking is easy too.  

I like the catoctin part of the AT in northern maryland.

I'm intersted in tagging along for a 3-day AT trip through penn.
