What's all the ruckus about?
Here's where I'll be this weekend.
The Ironmaster Hostel; at about the midpoint of the Appalachian Trail, site of the annual PA Ruck.
What's a "Ruck"?
Well, the actual definition follows:
Ruck: (ruk) n. The undistinguished crowd or ordinary run of persons or things.
In the context of this weekend's event, it's a place for a diverse group of people from all walks of life, with one thing in common - love of the trail - to get together.
Here's a picture from last year:
And HERE are some more...

Hey Camo,
I saw the picture of you and Shelly from last year. I can't tell if you are stoned, zoned out, completely bored, or what. But it definitely looks like you are there in body but not in spirit!
(:D) Regards...
Nah, Hawkeye. That's called 'campfire trance'.
Stay warm and have a great time, Jack!
Hawkeye and marge, the caption under that photo SHOULD read..."So many women, so little time."
>:-}
Maggie:
Thanks!
JR:
Actually, ruck sacks are passé; internal frames are the way to go.
boberin:
Have fun and stay warm I did.
'da Bunny:
A good time was had by all.
mig:
That song brings back memories.
Beerme:
Ummm...OUCH!!!
Hawkeye®:
Campfires are something that I can stare at in rapt fascination for hours.
(Maybe it's my inner caveman)
MargeinMI:
Campfire trance is a good name for it...
Looks like fun :)
Cassandra:
It is/was...
"Tramp, tramp, tramp, the Boys are maaaarching!"
Looks chilly!
benning:
Most years it's pretty chilly; most years I don't go on the hike, I just stay warm in the hostel.
Kajun:
Ruck might be how they would say an English word for fate or fortune in China, as in "rots of ruck!".
