Gearing Up for the Superhike

After completing the Rachel Carson Trail Challenge this year, and riding the wave of disbelief at my having completed it at all, I immediately booked myself into another ultrahike: the inaugural Susquehanna Super Hike, sponsored by the Keystone Trails Association.

It's 25 miles and +/- ~8400ft. At the time, that seemed pale in comparison (RCT was 35.2 miles and an absurd elevation change of 18,009 feet (+9,084 / -8,925) according to this blog post. However, that's still a long way to walk in a day. I'll need to hit the stairs this week.

Good news, K's been cleared to come out and camp with me, despite being 7 1/2 months pregnant. Also good news, it's in Lancaster County (which to me means Shoo-Fly Pie - just the thing to refuel after a long hike).

I'll post pics and a GPS from the other side...
