The trip report

We had a great hike. Weather held out and was perfect - just the right temperature. We huffed it up 1000 feet to the top of the ridge, hiked along the ridge with sweeping views of the Lehigh River below, and then returned along the AT.

I will make a decision about the waiting list late tonight. Looks like weather on Saturday will be cool with chance of rain, but should be good hiking weather, just remember to bring your rain gear. If you have already decided not to come, please cancel to make room for others. Thanks.

Ok - I have invited our three wait-listed people to come along. So, total is now 16.

Looking forward to meeting you all tomorrow. Please be at the trailhead (Osprey House) by 11 am. Also, remember to bring your lunch and enough water. Be prepared for the slight possibility of rain, and also for cooler weather.
