Comment by Lizzie on September 11, 2010 at 1:35am: I love how you think Heather. Now I know why we get along so well. ;)

Comment by Heather Sears on September 10, 2010 at 8:44pm: Liz, that's why I go on hikes...for pie and hot dogs

Comment by Lizzie on September 9, 2010 at 6:44am: Strenuous = you must have hiked up and down a BIG hill before for four or more hours without crying

Comment by Michael on September 8, 2010 at 9:24pm: Looks like I am going and bringing one of the guys from my Team. He is a medic which is always good to have in the mountains.

Comment by Ilona on September 8, 2010 at 11:00am: Noah, how "strenuous" is strenuous? I am afraid I might not be able to make it..

Comment by Brian and Mike on September 1, 2010 at 1:56pm: Laura will be out of the country the day of this event so if the weather is iffy Noah will report a canceled hike here, under COMMENT WALL.

Comment by Lizzie on August 31, 2010 at 6:04am: OK! I'm in! (But ONLY if we all stop to get pie and hot dogs afterward.)

Comment by Noah on August 28, 2010 at 10:08am: Mt. Minsi's views of the Delaware River and its surroundings are only second to the views from NJ's very own Mt. Tammany. That being said, it's a very very close second. Come join me on one of my favorite hikes in PA that features a spectacular climb up to 1461' above sea level. Hope to see you all!

Also, this hike will be followed by a trip to everyones favorite country bakery (only 1/2 mile from the parking lot) the cheap apple pie/hot dog deal!
