I am a sort of trying to retire nurse, I live in Huntingdon, PA. Married, 5 children. Love to fly fish tie flies and camp where I can go fishing. Preferably where no one else is...Improves my chances

I am a travel adventure enthusiast, who wants to go everywhere. Lived in 19 States and two foreign countries. I can't wait for the next adventure! I love long distance hikes, short hikes and and any hikes in-between. I hope to through hike the A. T in the next two years. I have done several sections of the A.T. and even lead a Girl Scout Troop through the Smokeys.

Welcome - I travel thru the beautiful state of PA. often and camp in the Warren Pa area several times a year.

The 100 miles of AT that pass thru Shenandoah NP is near perfect in the spring and fall.

I'm a fly fisherman as well - but I cheat and buy flies/poppers at WalMart.

Welcome from Far West Texas, glad you could join us. Lots of great information on the forums, plenty of folks who are willing to help.

I would be very interested to see some of your fly patterns. I've recently gotten into my "Tenkara phase" and have been seriously considering the "one fly" approach.

Be sure to share photos of your adventures!

Thank you, We just got back from the A.T. section in Shenandoah N.P. last month, did 33 miles backpacking with hammocks last month. We had a cold front and realized we needed more insulation on the bottom
