Eddie, A GO hike/eclipse event in the Rochester area appeals to me. Two beautiful state parks with hiking potential are Letchworth and Stony Brook. I would definitely try to be a part of this! Tom

I'm glad to see the comments. for the eclipse I think it's a bad idea for me to organize something. I would drive with my car and would follow the eclipse to where hopefully there's low or no clouds - paying attention to weather/cloud predictions the day before and the day of. this would be my first meetup with GO so to avoid stress of coordinating with both clouds and people, I'll let someone else organize this if they want to. I like the idea myself!

I will be in the Whites Sunday and Monday. Hopefully Peak this weekend!?? Hiked the Osceola's two weeks ago but if you need it for your 48 I’ll do them again. Off the beaten path is good too. Chuck

This will be a light midday hike at Harold Parker State Forest (which is located off I-93 and 114 about 15 miles north of Boston). I'm planning on an easy 2.5-3.5 mile hike. It would be on fire roads and trails in the woods. Most of it is fair.. >>Read More and View "Who Likes It"

So you could do a week or so between Burgos and Leon, or between Pamplona and Burgos which are mostly flat with a few climbs. Most guides suggest stages of 14 to 18 miles a day but if that seems too much you can break them up into shorter segments with places to stay en route.There are also various services that will carry your bag for you between inns for about $7 a day. You should be able to do it at your own pace! Let me know if you have more specific questions.

Hi Michael, I am just back from a month in Spain doing the Via de la Plata from Mérida to Santiago. My apologies that it's been a while since i've signed in here! I've just posted a definite plan for a Camino hike Oct 5-12 and am awaiting the webmaster's approval so it should go up soon. Of course you are the best judge of your own abilities but I would guess that pulmonary issues would limit your ability to deal with significant elevation gains. There are flatter parts of the various caminos t

I like the idea of night hiking. You might want to consider starting at the lower parking lot. It's winter and the road to the upper lot is rather steep.

I would do it as a day hike. I cannot drive at night. --Frank

The Rangers rerouted the trail around the steep rocky area at the start of the trail. The trail both ways is very well marked with NYS trail markers and it’s easy to find your way in and out.

Great hike have done it many times. Bit steep and rocky washed out road at start but levels off. lean-to usually occupied.

Hi Phil - thanks for asking. here’s more info: Yes, the entrance (with lots of parking) is at the NE Metro Voc Tech. (I forgot to add that.) Let’s say 2:00. According to GayOutdoors it would be easy (“Little or no physical challenge involved. This level of hiking includes 2-4 miles, usually covering terrain that moderately rises and falls with hikes on unpaved trails as well as paved or gravel surfaces) It’s not dead flat - there are small hills, but nothing big (a few hills raising

What is the difficulty level? Do we park at the NE Metro Ctr lot? What time does event begin. Thanks. Phil
