I am an inexperienced hiker that doesn't get out as much as I'd like. So, this my yodel. I'd enjoy meeting a few folks in my area to hike with.
I aspire to do the entire North Country trail one day. Fingers crossed I get to.
Hello @tr0shp0nda!
Welcome to the community! We've got several folks in the New York area: @TomIrvine @Wanderer @Kato1953 @alyciami who may be able to give you some tips for how to connect with some other like minded folks.
We're glad you're here!
We're not in Buffalo, but have met a lot of hikers & hiking groups in our area through Meetup, I suggest giving it a try.
