RE: [Philmont]: Other Question

Al:
Having grown up in New Jersey and done my youth-age hiking there, their
worst trail is still better easier than any trail I have in my own backyard.
The highest point in New Jersey at 1,803 feet(appropriately named High
Point) is still lower in elevation than the foothills in which I live. To me
1,803 feet is a warm-up exercise for a stroll in the park.

Looking forward to NOAC this year. My doctor restricted my hiking this
summer because of a knee injury. He told me that I can hike in Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa, New Jersey, etc. Other states are off limits.

Comment...

Sounds like you need a new doctor, if he thinks trails in New Jersey (or
just about anywhere in the east away from the coast) are like those the
plains. Think crossing Tooth Ridge, and you have the picture of a typical
eastern trail. Not my idea of a place to rehab a knee...
