The Allegheny National Forest (ANF) Trip - Video Review

Well, the trip to the Allegheny National Forest has come and went for me. I left on Wednesday and by Thursday I was starting to feel sick. I came home on Saturday. I hated leaving my friends, but now one else needs to be sick because of me. I am off on Monday and will go on Tuesday. When my supervisor gets in if I don’t feel well, I will take a sick day.  I could not breathe correctly so I did not hike sadly.

Jerry, it was nice to see you again, and I know you’re at peace with yourself and it was great to see you on the trip. Be well my friend

Well, I hope everyone enjoys the content.

Boat ride to camp!

Pennsylvania 15.8 Mile hike on 6.21.2025

 

I am headed to Pennsylvania for a 15.8 Mile hike on 6.21.2025

I will be hiking another section of the North Country Trail (NCT).  Between Alltrails and Garmin Basecamp I have laid out the hike.

It is telling me that the ascent and descent will be over 3300 feet. I am going to see how it goes through the hike. I would like to complete it on Saturday.  We will see I have never been there.

I am taking two water bladders with me in my pack. The one bladder is 3 liters and the other is 2 liters. I am only going to carry a total of 4 and not 5.

I have not covered terrain like this since the service and that’s been decades ago.  I will monitor my pace and keep it slow and steady.  Even at a 2-mph pace that’s 7.9 hours! I will pack my head lamp just in case lol “not really funny, but kind of is”.

Be well,

Sonder

Startrails with a GoPro13 and with an Olympus TG-6

 

The above image is from the GoPro 13

I headed out to a friends farm to take my Olympus TG-6 and my GoPro 13 to do some startrail photography. The frost was heavy and on my sleeping bag had turned to water only. 

The content turned out really well and the Bortle Scale for this area I was in is a 4.
