Mission: 20 Trails in 20 weeks!

Yes the idea of blogging is strange for me too, but I like the idea of having a live log of my travels for friends and family to see...

Goal: Hike 20 new trails by the end of September!

This is the criteria for the hikes I have selected:

• Best Trails in PA
• Best trails near Chester/Media, PA
• I eliminated all trails over 20 miles (no camping/backpacking!)
• I eliminated all trails previously completed
• I eliminated all trails over 3 hours away (>200 mi)

I think that by creating this blog it will motivate me to get it done, be cheered on, and of course maybe encourage others to join the adventures! Last summer I attempted the top ten trails in MA and only did about five or six. I kept going to Purgatory Chasm four or five times because it is so awesome and close to my house!

1. Glen Onoko Run
