This group was just handed to me suddenly about a week ago when the original organizer had to step down with no notice. Please sign up for hikes at http://www.meetup.com/Maryland-Hiking/ until I can get the extreme and ultra hikes from that group moved over to here. That site has several different hikes a week which vary greatly in difficulty and has something for everyone. We just had a 20 mile hike last week.
