And so it begins...

Tomorrow at approximately 2 p.m. I will be southbound to Springer Mountain, in Georgia.  From there it's 1000 miles to Harpers Ferry, WV and another 108 to State College on the Midstate Trail.  I will tryDscn1279
and keep everyone updated to where I am and my progress through phone calls, and may even have a chance to post some new stuff in towns while I'm on resupply.  My return will be approximately late June or early July, in any case it will be in time for the legendary Artsfest Shananagans.  I hope you see you all at the Old Oak Taven in Pinegrovemills for my final day of hiking on College Ave into State College.  A short bar tour will be held and possibly an immediate dip at the Nat.  Hope everyone has aDscn1267
good first few months of summer.
