Hey everyone, I haven't posted on here in forever. Planning a trip for this summer has me seeking information from anyone who has experience on a particular trail. A couple friends and I are looking to do the entire Quehanna Trail in Pennsylvania this summer. I'm looking on experiences from...

Hey TDale... I had forgotten that I had a login for this forum as well. Hate what has happened to BP.com but their wounds are self inflicted. Facebook is okay, but they haven't got the forum format that we all liked. Anyway, this is retired_reddog from BP.com's forums.
