Backpack North Fork Mountain Trail (Seneca Rocks Area)
Details
Backpack the North Fork Mountain Trail in WV near Seneca Rocks. Essentially, a 25 miles walk with relentless views. The elevation gain is only 2,600ft, so this doesn't look like a very difficult trip.
This trip will require car shuttling so we need to make sure we have enough drivers and can also fit into a smaller set of vehicles. The plan will be to meet up in Strasburg (81 & 66), then carpool to the Northern terminus, ditch a car, drop water at the halfway point as it is known to be dry, then drive to the Southern terminus.
Friday night we can stay at a local inn and enjoy a fun dinner & cheap room or find a local campground -- this allows for a full Saturday on the trial.
Ideally, we will have 4 or 8 people. This allows 2 people per car on the drive out and we can combine into 1 or 2 cars for the shuttling.
As we will be hiking along a ridge all weekend, weather will be important. In the event of a bad weather forecast, we can decide whether to cancel or come up with a backup plan that doesn't include hiking along a ridge.
Please double-check your calendar before selecting "Going". If people cancel at the last minute, it will put a strain on the rest of us as we need to make sure we have enough drivers and someone doesn't get stuck driving out alone. Once we hit 4 people, we will be "full" until we get to "8". The order in which people sign up will determine any waitlist.

No dogs please.
