Hit the dusty trail...

I have mentioned a hiker get-together that I've been attending for years in a couple of previous posts.

It's called the Gathering, and is organized by ALDHA, which is an acronym for the Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association.
(It'll be this coming weekend)

While it was originally organized for Appalachian Trail hikers, many of the members have hiked on a number of long distance trails, most notably the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail.

I have hiked extensively, including many hikes on the Appalachian Trail, in most of the States through which it passes...a year ago, I hiked to the Northern Terminus, which is Mount Katahdin in Maine.

After that, I went to the Gathering, which was held at Dartmouth University in Hanover, NH last year.

This year it will be held at Concord University in
Pipestem, WV...it alternates between those locations each year.

If the weather's good, I'll ride the Harley...
