| A hiker's diary: Getting away from it all. Friday, February 18 It seemed like the clock was ticking away the minutes a lot slower than usual. I had meetings scheduled at work from 9 to Noon and from 2 to 4.

We concluded at 4:20 and I ended up missing the 4:35 train. Now I wouldn't be getting to my truck until after 6:40 and I wanted to be on the road to Allegheny no later than 6:30. I got to the truck and drove straight to EMS to pick up the snowshoes I had rented for the trip. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE |
