Liz, :) Sorry about that. I was playing on words: meter "running"-cool "runnings"--Yes, I was aware that there are no metered taxis in Jamaica--but your comment is sound as I reckon there are many vistors who think "life works the same everywhere."
I was at Borders the other day and found a guide that mentioned Whitfield as a place to overnight--you had mentioned that as well. I will mark this on my itinerary. It looks like a good place to start and get a guide.
Although a season away, your advice is helping me focus on a plan.

July 28: Returned from Jamaica 2 days ago. Here is an outline of my trip: 7/16: Fly into MoBay. Check into Ochi hotel. Secure taxi for next day. 7/17: Taxi to Section--Road is washed out. Begin hiking. Hike from Section around Sir John's Peak, over to Westphalia. Set up canopy behind school for the night. 7/18: Hike down through Green River Valley, up to PenLyne to Whitehouse. Rest. Hike Jacob's Ladder to Portland Gap. Set up canopy off trail for the next 5 nights. 7/19: Lat start. Start hike up to peak at 2:00PM. Make it half way until clouds come over. Go down to Gap for the day/night. 7/20: Begin hike at 2:00AM. Make it to peak at 4:10AM. Lay down in bag to await sunrise. 4:20AM, storm clouds and distant lightning coming toward peak. Quickly hike down to gap by 5:30AM. Rain all day. 7/21: Begin hike up to peak at 2:30AM. Trail is slippery. Make it to peak around 5:00AM. Cloud cover. No sun, but I enjoy the time being on the mountain alone for the third straight day/night. Hike down to gap 5:50AM. Weather clears up--see first hikers since 7/18. Sleep last night at Gap. 7/22: Hike down to Whitefiled Lodge for the day and night. 7/23: Hike down to PenLyne Castle bus stop. Catch 8AM bus down to Papine. Take taxi to downtown Kingston bus stop. Catch bus to Ochi. Make it to Ochi by 1:00PM. Check into hotel. 7/24: Go home Anyone interested in details of trip or specifics of the hike feel free to e-mail me. Report as inappropriate | ||||||
