Hiking / Backpacking Archives

 

 

From time to time I post information and articles on my announcement page, sharing news about accomplishments and/or specific happenings of fellow hiker friends and acquaintances. Once the article is old news it gets removed to make room for more current items, however, I have always felt that some of the information should still be available. To that end, this section has been created to archive such articles and news items.

 


 


IATNL Attends Boston Travel Show
 


 

February 19-21 IATNL Chairperson Paul Wylezol, Communications Director Greg Wood, and Treasurer Kevin Noseworthy attended the Boston Globe Travel Show.  The IATNL was an exhibitor with its own booth to promote the International Appalachian Trail.  On February 19 they were joined by IAT Maine members Richard Anderson, Will Richard, and Walter Anderson.

The International Appalachian Trail runs through Maine, New Brunswick, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador. In Western Newfoundland this long-distance hiking trail extends from Port-aux-Basques in the south, through Gros Morne National Park, to Crow Head (just east of L'Anse aux Meadows) at the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula.

 


 


Nomad Backcountry Adventures
 


 

No, these aren't adventures led by the Nimblewill Nomad, but they are adventures offered by an organization founded by two women,  Meg Letson and Rachel Pomerantz, in 2004, who had a chance meeting with the Nomad, on the Pinhoti Trail, back in the year 2000. This encounter inspired these ladies to envision offering an affordable, accessible, and creative wilderness adventure experience to others. To them, Nimblewill Nomad symbolizes the inspiration, perseverance, commitment, and possibility that supported their creation of Nomad Backcountry Adventures.

 

Please read more about this fantastic organization, and what they have to offer, at their website:

Nimblewill Nomad
North Country Trail

PICK CITY - It was closure for two men in the twilight of their years. For one, it closed a chapter in an ongoing sage as he hikes his way across America. For the other it closed a chapter in the book of his life - a chapter that dates back to 1994. Last week, M.J. Eberhart of Missouri spent a leisurely hour walking 1.9 miles of the north Country Scenic Trail at lake Sakakawea State Park, North Dakota. It was a walk that technically began last March. . . . . .Read the entire article here

National Trails Days 2009
On The North Country National Scenic Trail
 


The Grand Traverse Hiking Club, one of 40 chapters and affiliates of the North Country Trail Association, celebrated National Trails Day 2009 with Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) officially opening a new spur trail linking the North Country Trail to the cities of Kalkaska and Traverse City. In a ceremony that also featured North Country Trail long distance hikers Joan Young and "Eb" Eberhart, aka Nimblewill Nomad, the GTHC recognized partnership efforts by the Kalkaska Area Recreational Trail and the Traverse Area Recreational Trail. These organizations along with GTHC and the NCTA worked together to create the newly opened spur, which enabled the linking of all the major trail systems in the area.

Adopt-A-Mile / Paul Duffey's ECT Journey
 


Paul Duffey is planning to begin a thru-hike of the Eastern Continental Trail (ECT), from the northern tip of Newfoundland to the southernmost point of the Florida Keys, in the United States. The 13+ months he will be on the trail, and the cost involved in undertaking such an endeavor, has inspired Paul to create a website where folks can go to make a donation to sponsor his efforts.

Meet Alvis Paw Paw Kinney
 



 

 

Most all the national news we’re fed anymore, almost all of it is negative. Dear friends, it doesn’t have to be like this, especially when there’s so many great personal triumphs to cheer about out there, ones that constantly get swept under. What say we change this news agenda! For beginners, why don’t we insist this article about my longtime hiking/backpacking friend, Alvis Paw Paw Kinney get national attention through AP and UPI? Please give a look. God bless you, Paw Paw. And thanks for your sacrifice and service to this great USofA!
