Hi there! I'm new to backpacking, in fact I actaully don't have a stitch of gear at this moment, but I feel compelled to go wonder the forest! I read Bill Bryson's book about hiking the AT and it really made me feel like that is something I need to try! I'd like to do like a 3/4 day hike to get my feet wet. I was wondering if anyone out there had any experience hiking in PA, specifically the Moshannon State Forest, but any info on westeren Pa backpacking would be more than helpful!

I would be planning to hike most likely in mid to late november and almost certainly by myself.
