Re: [at-l] Tuscarora Trail
Janel,
I just got the two guide books and the maps for the Tuscarora Trail. In
fact I may just set foot on it this weekend. I have Friday and Saturday
free and thought I just might check out the first few miles on the
southern end. My plan is to mostly hike on this trail during my 4 day
weekends which I usually get every other weekend. I think Gary has hiked
50 or so miles of this trail and I talked to several people at Trail
Days that were ether looking in to the TT or had already hiked a
section.
