It’s been less than a year since I first went backpacking and I have definitely caught the bug. The last time I went out for the weekend was about two months ago and I am going stir crazy. I’ve been spending a great deal of time skiing and snowboarding, but that just doesn’t satisfy my need to sleep under the stars. I guess all I can do is plan my next trip. So here goes:
- Who: Me and/or anyone else I can drag along
- What: 17 mile overnight backpacking trip
- When: the first weekend Mountain Creek is closed, maybe end of March or beginning of April?
- Where: Sunrise Mt. to High Point along the Appalachian Trail
- Why: Hiking brings me peace and joy (see posts 10 things that make me happy and Bringing Order to Chaos) and I have a new tarp/insert from Hyperlite Mountain Gear that I can’t wait to test out!
You can see the book that guides most of my adventures and a list of my gear here.
Anyone with me? What adventures do you embark on in the winter?
Would love to constantly get updated outstanding website!
I would like to use the chance of thanking you for your professional guidance I have continually enjoyed checking out your site. I’m looking forward to the actual commencement of my university research and the general prep would never have been complete without consulting your web site. If I could be of any assistance to others, I will be glad to help by way of what I have learned from here.
