hiking

 **__Itinerary__**  __Day 1 - __ Sunday, July 6th Leave Sellersville around noon, Get to Mohican Lodge around 2-4pm Park car at Culvers Lake Parking Area enjoy the area, sleep there - lodging (only $23 per person). They do not provide meals but there is a kitchen, showers, bunk beds.

__Day 2__ - Monday, July 7th Get up early hike to Kenetiwapee area (7 mi)-probably closed - But, no problem, lots of tenting areas about 1/2 mile off the trail - the area used to be houses (I think they were never built) - now you just see some foundations - so flat areas. There is a pump with potable water. Kenetiwapee is not officially closed yet but is expected to be.

__Day 3__ - Tuesday, July 8th Hike to Brink Road shelter (7 mi) - small, only sleeps 4-5 people, but plenty of tent area

__Day 4__ - Wednesday, July 9th Hike to parking lot (3 mi), drive home

AT rules are to tent 50 - 100 feet off the trail, no ground fires. There is a grade immediately upon starting from Mohican, about 400 feet in a mile, then easy along the ridge, part of it along what had been a road.

Water Filters to look at...tell me what you think. [|Katadyn Vario Microfilter] [|STERIPEN] [|STERIPEN Pre-Filter] [|Katadyn Micropur Tablets] [|MSR SweetWater Purifier] [|MSR Miniworks EX Water Filter] [|Platypus] I looked at filters at Beans. The sales clerk thought the tables would do fine for the short while we will be out there: One is for purifing, the other for taste. PUR has Drinking water Kit for 28.95 that treats 2.5 gallons, I think it needs to be used with tablets. There may be usable water at the first and maybe our second site so we may not need to purify much.
