Steph -
Welcome to the zoo.  And it is.  But it's also "hiker-friendly"  :-)

We've spent a lot of time in Sproul SF - enough that we've written 
guidebooks for some of the trails through there.  And enough that we wish we 
could live there.  :-)

Have you encountered the KTA (Keystone Trails Association)?  We've  spent 
some time with the KTA Trailcare crews and more hands are always welcome.  
Trails like the Susquehannock, the Donut Hole and the Black Forest take some 
of the load off the AT - and they need to be maintained too.

In fact, the first Trailcare for 2001 will be later this month (March 
23-25).  We'll be working on the Old Loggers Path (a little bit east of 
Sproul SF). Anyone who's interested should check out the KTA web page at 
http://www.pennaweb.com/kta/

Yeah - this is a personal invitation - for Steph and for anyone else who's 
ready to give back some of what they've gotten from the trails.

Walk softly,
Jim and Ginny
