Gren Anderson Shelter to “the Secret Shelter” on the Murray Property – 18.4 miles 4/17/2014 My water was frozen when I woke up! I panicked a little bit because I couldn’t feel my fingers but the temperature quickly rose and I thawed. I got a lot of miles in today, which felt great. High PointContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 11”

Appalachian Trail Day 10
Culver’s Gap to Gren Anderson Shelter – 3 miles 4/16/2014 Resumed my northbound hike today. Got dropped off late afternoon and hiked to the shelter. This was a three night hike (over my birthday) that finished NJ and started NY. I guess three miles took a lot out of me…
Appalachian Trail Day 9
Rattlesnake Spring to Culver’s Gap – 14.9 miles October 22, 2013 Look at those curly locks! Yikes! I recall wondering if I was still in NJ because I never knew NJ could have such great views. This was the last day of this hike for me. Almost 15 miles. I’m making progress!
Appalachian Trail Day 8
October 21st, 2013 Mt. Minsi to Rattlesnake Spring – 16 miles I crossed the Delaware River after descending Mount Minsi (which was not easy). Interstate 80 is the AT for the bridge walk across the river. It’s very noisy and a bit scary walking along an interstate but it was a short walk. I enteredContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 8”
Appalachian Trail Day 7
Stealth Site to Mt. Minsi, PA 191 – 9.1 miles October 20th, 2013 The second day of my two day hike with Cody. A pleasant stroll through the rocks and leaves. A very enjoyable time with my son. He took a little spill on the Wolf Rocks bypass trail but otherwise finished unscathed. I veryContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 7”
Appalachian Trail Day 6
October 19th 2013 Wind Gap to Stealth Site – 4 miles This was a weekend hike with my oldest son Cody, who had just turned five years old twelve days prior. Our plan was to do 8.6 relatively easy miles over two days, which we did successfully. It was an amazing time with my sonContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 6”
Appalachian Trail Day 5
Fort Franklin Road to Hawk Mountain Road – 9.3 miles The rocks… that’s all I remember. Deliriously belting out every song we knew containing anything to do with rocks… For Those About to Rock, I Wanna Rock, Like a Rolling Stone… etc. It kept us occupied until we reached our extraction point at Hawk MountainContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 5”
Appalachian Trail Day 4
Stealth Site near Lehigh Furnace Gap to Fort Franklin Road – 9 miles September 30th, 2013 This part of the hike is more difficult for me to recall. More rocks… highlights were Bear Rocks and Knife’s Edge. I recall being informed that this area is known for the rampant rattlesnakes.
Appalachian Trail Day 3
Tower Access Road to Stealth Site near Lehigh Furnace Gap – 12 miles Sept 29th, 2013 This was the day Bauman dragged my bruised and bloodied carcass over/through the rocks at Lehigh Gap. By the end of the day he’d given me the trail name “IWET” (which didn’t stick) because I kept yelling ahead toContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 3”
Appalachian Trail Day 2
Leroy A. Smith Shelter to Tower Access Road – 10.4 miles The following morning we got up way too early and after Bob made us coffee we headed south towards Blue Mountain. That night we stayed at a stealth site just above Blue Mountain. We were fortunate enough to get pizza delivered to our siteContinue reading “Appalachian Trail Day 2”
