I'm a fairly avid hiker, but I mainly stay in my local state park (Jacobsburg in eastern PA) and sometimes around the Poconos. I do mostly impromptu hiking afternoons to relax and get out of the suburbs for a while, but I'd really love to graduate to some serious planned trips. One day, for examle, I'd like to try the Appalachian Trail (at least PA's segment) with an uncle of mine who has hiked it a bunch of times.
