Mid State Trail: Section 1 Maryland to 326
Рет қаралды 525
Күн бұрынOn this trip, I setout to complete sections 1 and 2 of the Mid State Trail. The MST is known as PA's wildest footpath. It stretches 327 miles and traverses the entire state from Maryland to New York. This trail features a lot of ridge walking which can offer some incredible views but water sources, green briars, and minimal legal camping options can make this trail a challenge depending on the hiker and time of year. Section one offered some nice views and beautiful wooded sections. Camping and water were somewhat limited to mostly near the area around Martin Hill.

Backpacking many years ago with my father, He would always dig a 2.5' section of small rubber tubing out of his pack. It weighed practically nothing. He called it his "Inspirator" he would use it to blow air into a stubborn fire. He never failed!! Your hollow tube brought back a forgotten memory!

@alanhykes8777 that's definitely a great idea as well. Glad I helped bring back that memory with your father. Happy hiking!

Mid state trail is a great basically unknown trail. It’s a challenging trail in sections that I’ve hiked have done sections 8,9,10,11,12,13 hoping to finish it all by next year . Good luck hiking man maybe I’ll see you out there sometime,

@pennscreekcanyon1772 yeah the sections near me see very little use. I agree it does seem to be a forgotten trail. Happy hiking!

These first couple section are the most overgrown and hard to get too do maintiance. you have to hike miles in with your tools. it helps when game comm. opens gates for you. Tussey ridge is rockey are hard to little flat firetown in Rothrock.. then you start the roller coaster over the mountains to New York

@eastcoastexplorer6886 yeah it's definitely a hard trail to keep maintained with all the ridges and limited access

Fingers crossed this turns into a MST section hike series?? Guys named Jared are actually pretty cool.

@HiddenHollowOutoors yeah Jarrods are pretty cool. Especially when they show up with campsite chicken haha. I'd like to knockout some more sections but the southern end is definitely challenging logistically

Beautiful fall colors! I don’t remember if you mentioned it but is the trail measured in kilometers instead of miles? I’ve never been on the Mid State Trail but now I think I’ll give it a try. The trekking pole Bellows was genius… Lol i’m definitely doing that…lol Thanks for taking us along. 👍

@fivehorizons5295 yes it is measured in kilometers. I prefer freedom units myself. Thanks a lot and happy hiking!
What the Meowk!
