I've hiked just about every trail in the area. Alberton Road trail at Patapsco Valley is pretty cool. There are remnants of a town that was washed away by a flood all throughout the trail. I'd be in for some hiking.
We just watched "A Walk in the Woods" and now I want to hike the Appalachian trail.

The "A Walk in the Woods" book and the My Way movie with Martin Sheen about the Camino de Santiago got me interested in walking/hiking several years ago. I spent half of 2016 and the start of 2017 training for the 50K one day hike on the C&O. I haven't done much after I did that hike, so I want to get back into it. The Camino is my new goal (France to Spain.)
I would be very much interested in this. Saturday morning would work well for me too.

This is actually something I've been thinking about for a while, getting into hiking and backpacking. A few years ago I dreamed about doing overnight backpacking on the weekend as sort of a stress relief and exercise plan. One of my fantasy vacations is to go backpacking in the middle of nowhere by myself. I've got a lot to learn and get in better shape in order to do that.
Okay couch potatoes , This Sat. 27th of Jan. I am planning a hike . Can we get a MDS crew together for a hike at Patapsco State Park either location , we just need to see where to meet up at the park .
Let's make it happen .
I'm interested. Am I able to bring my dog?
I'm interested... If it's the McKeldin area.
I'm not sure of my availability on Saturday yet though. Will know for sure by Friday.
What time?
And what trail(s) were you thinking of doing? I'm 55 and a little overweight, so I'm more of a "slow and steady"-style hiker.
If dogs are welcome, I'd be interested.
I've got to get some hours in the car with my son for his driver's license. We're headed to Gettysburg this weekend. I'll try to make it another time.
I like the dog idea. I suppose only on leash? Anyone have experience letting them off leash to run? I know some areas have enforcement in place resulting in tickets.
