    Caretaker Wanted??

    http://www.bmecc.org/at.html

    Not sure if this is accurate, the the Blue Mountain Eagle Climbing Club has on their website that a caretaker is wanted for the 501.

    If'n it weren't 3 hours away from work, i'd be all over it.

    I may come out to play.

    I'm still planning on going, the wife thinks I'm crazy. I just tell her it keeps me from going insane

    Sounds good. The misses is pushing for me to go to Wharton, but I really want to check out the 501 site

    the 501 is nice... it's not very big to be honest
    it's nice cause it's close to a road so it's kinda like car camping but you still need to walk 50+ yards to the sites
    to be honest i rather WIlliam Penn or eagles nest ... i like to hike to sites away from roads but it's hard to get everyone on board with a hike/hang so we do the 501 90% of the time
    i think the next one i set up will be at either Will Penn or Eagles Nest
    April i'll try to finish up what i have left of PA just to get it out of the way in hopes to start on another state next year

    If it comes down to it and nobody can make it, I can always change my plans back to my original thought, hiking form DWG to the Kirkridge Shelter. It'll give me a chance to get some PA AT hiking done.
