I just want to say how excited i am that so many of you are interested in this!! I am going to give it a few more days and let more folks weigh in.
If you don't have gear, don't worry!! I know lots of people (myself, especially) with extra gear. Also, the clothing is really easy to obtain... you probably have a lot of it just don't know it. So if the gear is the only thing holding you back, don't fret! We'll work it out!
I also want to let everyone know that this is open to all levels of experience and physical capability. No Navy Seal training here... just lots of fun... and gorp...

First Annual All-Girl Backpacking trip!!!
Howdy all you awesome ladies!!
I have been day dreaming for the past several years about starting an annual all-girl backpacking tradition. And this is the first year it's been possible for me to get away overnight... SO, now i'm hoping some of you can join me this fall in freezing your tail off, getting blisters on your feet, eating rehydrated food-stuffs, and of course, laughing your ass off (cause let's face it, that's what we do when we're all together).
i know everyone is super busy and it's very hard to get everyone to commit to the same weekend. So i posted a few options please pick the one that would be best for you. Keep in mind that this is an overnight event (at least one night, possibly two- there's a poll for that too). If you cannot commit that much time but want to be in on the planning and what not, just for fun send me an e-mail.
Please indicate on the poll if you'd rather go to dollysods, or go out to western maryland and hike a section of the AT. I have very minimal experience backpacking in Maryland so if you know of better places and trails or have any maps/guides please let me know!!! Nothing is set and we're all planning this together!!
I'd like it if you could all make it!! but if not this year, remember it will be ANNUAL so there's always next year!!!!!
