Hi, thanks for the idea. We did do a hike in Shenandoah last August on the 
Skyline Drive. This weekend we are at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. We are 
staying at the K.O.A. just outside the National Park. We try to hit at least 
one area meeting on the weekends we travel and invite those in the area to 
join us for our campfire meetings. It's quite a spiritual event sitting 
around a campfire and sharing with the same people you connected with on the 
"search for serenity" in the woods that day.
The further the distance we travel from Delaware, the smaller the number seem 
to get time off together. This weekend we are expecting maybe 25 campers from 
our area. The normal for an area day trip hike runs from 35 to 40.
You said that you did live in the are. Where are you located now? If we get 
in your area I'll let you know so maybe you can join us!
If you are interested let me know. Otherwise it's great to meet another 
fellow!
I've said many times in newcomer meetings (not to imply your status), that I 
feel stronger in my recovery every time I meet a new "member" of the club. My 
strength comes from the fellowship and the more the stronger.
I just got back from the Buffalo area yesterday and attended some meetings up 
there. I get up there pretty often for work and have connected with some 
great people in that area too.
I really think it's true when Bill W. wrote that we are the privilaged few. 
Who else can travel anywhere in the country and find friends (not 
acquaintances) by calling a local number listed in the book! I've never been 
shunned or left wanting when I called a local intergroup!
Thanks for the mail and God bless you with peaces and serenity!
Mike
