Meetup/Ride Share

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.

hello, I'm from Central Jersey and looking for a trail advise. The goal is two-days backpacking route close to home. Harriman looks great, but there are so many trails to chose from. Any suggestions? Many thanks, Paul

I plan on parking at Sams Point and looking for a shuttle to LP trail head on the SRT ridge near wurtsboro on Sun May 6 around 9am if anyone interested in helping me or hiking with me.  I'll of course provide the shuttle back to the trail head car at the end of the day. FYI - I've been sectionally thru-hiking the LP in day hikes and you can read about my progress and hikes: http://chembrew.blogspot.com/2012/01/mild-winter.html A recommendation of a taxi service in the area will also be helpful in case no one is available to shuttle with me. Thanks John

I am finging it it is just easier to hike solo than to find a partner or meet some one at the Bus station in Kingston or New Paltz. The way I look at its no one whats to hook up.

I have been section hiking the Long Path in NY piece by piece over the last two summers and have set a goal to piece together the rest of it in the summer of 2012.  I live in the Albany, NY area and was hoping I could find others interested in hiking some single day hiking of the southern sections from the Catskills south to Ft. Lee.  I have completed through the central Catskills but as each day trip gets farther and farther away from my home it becomes more of a challenge to find others willing to make the 1 - 2 1/2 hour drive to get them done, especially since there are many roadwalkks still in affect on the Long Path.  Looking for others with a vehicle so we can stage cars.  The other snag is that I am looking for people who would be available to hike mid week (Mondays and Thursdays are the best for me) as I do work every weekend.  I am a very experienced hiker but am not looking to do anything huge (8-15 mile segments per day). I have already completed 2 hikes this year for just under 20 miles, so I am ready to go rain or shine whenever, let me know if you are interested...

Greetings,       Like you it seems like I've done virtualy the same trek but from south to north. Currently I'm about half way stopping last year at the Trempor Mt. firetower in Phonecia. Wouldn't mind rehiking some sections. The weekdays won't be easy though...could try taking an occasional day off for a good hike. I'm also a rain or shine hiker.       Looking forward to here back, Jeff

Once you get out of the Catskill's Public transportation is an option if you time it right. Smileys Taxi in Tannersville should be able to help you as far south as Woodland Valley. Once you reach Upper Cherrytown Road Taxi/bus options will be available. It's that stretch between Woodland Valley Campground and Upper Cherrytown Road that will need careful planning. We backpacked the entire Long Path often on multi day trips and used public transportation for the most part all the way to the Schoharie County Line. I am sure a taxi would bring you to Sundown or Denning but it would not be cheap. please feel free to contact me ([email protected]) with questions. Also I will be able to help you out along the Shawangunk Ridge. I may also want to join you for a day in the Southern Catskill's. Have you thought about doing an overnight trip in the Southern Catskill's?   Andy Garrison
