Meetup/Ride Share

Posted February 2nd, 2009 by webmaster

Going hiking next weekend! Here is a place to tell others where you are going and that you are willing to have others tag along with you. Take appropriate precautions in going with strangers.

The Trail Conference recommends that you keep day use party size under 25 and overnight use under 10. Some hiking area have stronger restrictions and may require permits for group use.

hiking buddy (ies)

Greetings all. I'd like to take a stab at the State Line/Ernest Walter/AT loop from the Marina by Greenwood Lake. I actually got up there last weekend and enjoyed it quite a bit, but I always feel a little more at ease with some company if the hike is over 2 hours. If anyone is interested, let me know. clasps1@gmail.com

Ride-Share to Annual Meeting

We are trying to get to the TC's annual meeting in Harriman. We live in Manhattan. Is anyone from Manhattan driving up there and have room for two?

If there are others who are car-less, we would also be willing to split the cost of a ZipCar for the day.

We are planning on staying for the hikes after the meeting.

I'm looking for hiking groups focused on the Catskill 3500s. I just joined the 3500 and RVW clubs, and I'm looking to get plugged into existing hikes. Working my way through the high peaks, but not fast enough for my taste! Suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

hiking this week in the catskills

On August 23rd, 2009 Elissa says:
Hey everyone, I suppose this is a long shot, but is anyone interested in a two day hiking trip in the Catskills during the week? I'm busy both this weekend and next but would really like to get out there before Labour Day. I don't have a car, but would happily pay for gas and tolls if someone else had one. I might go alone, but I'm a bit new to overnight trips, so I'd rather go with someone else. Also, figuring out how to get to a decent trail without a car is proving tricky. I'm a strong hiker and wouldn't mind a challenge. As for the trail, I'm open to suggestions - but the escarpment trail is what I was thinking. Oh, and I'm pretty quiet, but good company. Hope to hear back! Elissa
