Spring Mahaa get together

Wise Old Owl · Mar 30th 2014, 11:43am

Ah hammocking and Hiking the AT combined. I like this because you can get to meet some of the folk you have been talking to on the Internet and do some light hiking... there is a pinnacle look out above the campground and if you hike south from the park you will find the Midpoint of the AT This is a great time to familiarize yourself with Hammocking and some will bring tents. Don't look for mine - it will be in stealth mode... Bring a friend many car pool and the lot fills up quickly... Also - even if its pouring rain there are pavilions and ezups... We all sit round campfires - bring a collapsible chair, camera and your wit. Some cottage manufactures always show up. There are raffles of old equipment.

Friday April 25th - Sunday April 27th.
This is a Family Friendly Event!

Looks like fun, but I think I will going to do section in the SNP that weekend.

JJ SNP hasn't greened up it might be dry - but don't expect to see any green due to altitude. Some trails will still be a mess due to the continuing sequester. (Blowdowns might not have been cleared)

The blow downs have been cleared. The trail is muddy in places. I hike the AT or side trails there once or twice a month.

I really liked hiking in Pine Grove Forest SP this winter and can't wait to go back.

This Wednesday nite another Ref and I head down to Poe Paddy SP in Center county, to fish Penns Creek 'till Sunday. Awesome nice spot. We always go 'last weekend of April', reserve one of the two leantos, bring our Mtn. Bikes, fish like mad, drink alittle, smoke cigars. I'm afraid the calender and long winter has us a week or two early for the 2 overlapping hatches that we try to catch ON this last weekend!
[hide]shhhhhhhh! we bring our cots....in the shelter :huh:

[/hide]
I have fished Mountain Creek before! It is Catch and release I believe. There is a 'Heritage Stream' in Carlise...The Letort. Anyway...... what time on Sunday would you be pulling out of there? :whistle:

I have been there three times, my buddy went to Shippensburg State, I've walked from Caledonia to Pine Grove Sp, and I've fished up there. I have my Penn. Gazateer for the direct route if it happens!!!
