Catoctin AGAIN?!?!?! - 10 May 08

All, There has been talk of another hike so here I am to post it.  I know this is short notice but I would like to hike Catoctin again on Saturday, 10 May 08.  This is about the only weekend I can manage for the next 2-4 weeks.  I'll be there and hope you can go too. For those of you who don't know, there was a small group of us who hiked Catoctin (Cunningham Falls) this past fall and had a great time.  Catoctin is a National Park located in Thurmont, MD, just north of Frederick on Hwy 15.  The hike we chose was about 3 miles (give or take) but we ended up getting lost and turning it into almost 5 miles.  It was a GREAT time. Just thinking outloud... Maybe we can meet at the visitor center about 9:30-10:00 am, have a meet & greet and hit a trail sometime in the 10:30 time frame.  There are many trails to choose from with varying distances and difficulty levels.  We can choose a trail when we get there.   The URL for Catoctin is http://www.nps.gov/cato/.   It's a pretty long drive for me (about 2-2.5 hrs) but I'll make it.  How about you?  Any takers? --Eric

that's the day before mothers day so i don't think many will be able to go. i think it sounds great. i'll think about it. not sure yet though.

I know it is the day before Mother's Day but it, if I didn't do it that weekend, I'd have to wait another 3-4 weeks.  That doesn't mean you guys can't have another hike without me, though.  I'll be jealous but I won't mind.

I think you can count me in, let me make sure I have someone to watch Gabriella.  I am pretty sure I can and that is the day before my Happy Birthday!  WOOT Hugs Kristen

Woohoo!!  I'll bring you a soy-based crisp chip with a candle on it.

Hey Eric!!!  sounds like fun.   I'll put it on the calendar, but not sure I'll be able to make it.  I do remember how much fun the last time was, getting lost and all! BTW, the Mack is not going to make it to St Leonards on Sunday.   We may make it, but will play that by ear (or eye) when we get up on Sunday and see what the weather brings us! Hugs, Mo

Too bad about the Mack.  I will try to make it to your next event.  Just keep us posted. That would be awesome if you could come hiking again.

It will take some pretty fancy maneuvering of the calendar, but I'm going to try.

That would be awesome!! 

Hello,  I haven't posted too many times on this board, but this sounds right up my alley. I love Cunningham Falls and I have recently discovered how much I enjoy hiking. I would love to join you on this trip and meet some of the great people on this board!
