Hiking 13 miles on Saturday in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio

Time to switch gears

 I will be hiking more and fishing less. I will be getting into shape for the fall Monongahela National Forest Trip.

Here is why I am starting now to get into better shape!

Chimney Top Trail

Spruce Knob

Nelson Sods

Potter County Pennsylvania 5-17 to 5-22

I plan on doing some hiking, sight seeing, and fly fishing while I am there.

Stay tuned it should be a good time filled with splendor!

Upcoming Monongahela National Forest trip this fall

 Here are a few of the hikes I will be going on

16 miler using parts of the Lumberjack Trail to get up to Spruce Knob

5 miler up to Chimney Rock

6 Miler to Petes Cave

13.7 Mile Hike in McConnells Mill State Park in Pennsylvania

The route was 13.7 miles and with a lot of ups and downs like 5000' of them! 

7 Mile Hike on the NCT in PA 6.28.2025

 Out on the NCT today I hiked with a good friend, and we only did seven miles. My Danner Boots sprung a leak! Well, I called them on the way back and because it was under 90 days they gave me a new pair off the shelf.

It was buggy and muddy on this section. I knew it would be this way because we saw evidence of the rain that fell this morning. It was good to get out and see this new short section of the NCT “North Country Trail”.

Sorry for the late content

My good friend and I linked these two trails together for a longer hike. Yes, we had to do a little road work, but still worth it.

Hiking on Sunday 3.23.2025

Today and good ole friend and I set out on a 9.5 Mile hike.   During the hike we would ascend throughout the hike was 1442 feet and descend was 1193 feet.  It was a nice morning that’s started out well below freezing and supposed to be 50 lol but it was 41 degrees when we got back to the vehicles.

It was a nice day to be out with my friend catching up!
