Appalachian Trail

My buddy Bob and I are planning a weekend hike along a section of the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania. We're looking forward to a Spring time hike rather than now when it's too cool or in the Summer during oppressive heat times.

I saw a package at the local bookstore published by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and figured I'd pick it up next time I went; too late someone beat me to it.

I did a hike there years ago with colleagues from work and was poorly prepared with an overloaded pack among other things. I'm planning on taking almost nothing except food, a small pack, water, and some kind of small tent. If I can keep everything under 10-15 pounds I think that is a good goal.
