Hi all,
I've lurked around here for a long time and followed along with the adventures. I'm a big fan of hiking and backpacking, and after some personal stuff sort of sapped my backpacking spirit (still been day hiking plenty) I'm ready to plan some fall hikes.
I'm looking at using my work schedule to my advantage and hiking the week of Columbus Day, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a good spot to go. My favorite type of hike is the 25-30 mile overnight where I can start mid-morning on day 1, camp overnight and finish sometime in the afternoon of day 2. I've done this with a lot of different trails (Quehanna SE, West Rim, Old Loggers Path, etc) and while I'm not averse to doing a retread I'd also not mind seeing something new. I'd also prefer a loop but if I can get a shuttle without giving up an arm and leg, I'd be amenable to that.
So the question is, roughly within the bounds of Rt 80 (in the S)-Rt 15 (in the E) and where I am (the ANF, as my name would indicate), what would be some recommendations? Is there anything around the south of the Susquehannock Trail? Is the Mid State Trail able to be split up conveniently that way?
Thanks for your help in advance!
