If one is coming from Upstate there are no or minimal public transportation options. ;-)

I'm going to watch this thread closely, I'm getting camping withdrawal and Harimon has been on my list for awhile now.
I think we all are.
Haha!! Yes I wasn't suggesting sleeping in the shelter, or even necessarily being next to it but there are some nice views from that general area. I doubt we would run into any yahoos if it is early enough in the season.. I have usually gone up the Timp Torn myself from the Anthony Wayne parking lot. There are actually a few places to hang along that ridge walk.
Anyone : among the many who are itching to get in the wood, on the trail and hang into the sunrise.
My AT hiking partner, Scout78 / Bob O is ready to get back out on the trail after a number of months off.
( He is 78 and has years of experience. )
We are going to do a small 3mile patch of the AT near Clarence Fahnestock SP.
This will finish that section of NY AT; 3miles in - 3miles out the next day.
Anyone joining can start further out on the trail to make a longer hike for them.
This may appeal to anyone who just wants to get out into the winter woods and hang before spring greening.
We will also be hanging and AT hiking during the early greening days. So enjoyable being in the woods when each day has more green.
If others want to join us : we will adjust; we can hike during the week or the weekend.
If no one is joining us we may hike and hang next weekend - Fri-Sat or Sat-Sun March 30-31( Easter ).

I remember hiking in my prime : fast and fun.
Looking for capable hiking partners past their prime, who love the trail and high miles are not the goal.
Hike a good day. 8-10 miles a day first week; 12+ the 2nd; more the 3rd week.
Strong, not fast, but constant. 3rd day stronger; 4th much stronger than 1st.
Fairly fast on the uphills; slower on the down-uphill-rock-climbs.
If you have a AT section you are planning in CT, MA or PA I am interested.
Everyone is invited to hang and join an AT section hike. April ? ? ?
Location ? ? ?
Another gap to fill : 27 miles of the AT between NJ rt94 and NY rt17.
CT NY stateline NOBO ( to ME ) or starting further north and hike SOBO.
PA from Palmerton south ( to GA ).
Open to suggestions !

G...Hawk,
I am definitely interested in that 3 in, 3 out hike this weekend. Just found out I have 3 day weekend this next one- Sat, Sun, Monday. Sending you a pm.

I would also be interested, but would have to show up on Saturday.
