Thursday October 23, 2014 - Appalachian Trail Hamburg

HERB has planned a 5+ mile fall hike on the old and the new Appalachian Trail in the Hamburg area. The hike will stop at three ever flowing, sparkling springs. An old timer supposedly hid his “mountain dew” in a hollow tree near one of the springs, which we may be lucky enough to find! There will be some ups and downs and lots of rocks. Fall leaves will be in full colour by then!

MEET: 9:00 A.M. @ Redner's Leesport Market off Rte. 61 N.

TELEPHONE: Herb at 610-286-6886 with questions.

The hike will cover between 4-5 miles. After the hike those who wish can visit Audubon's museum house which contains original art work and taxidermy. The cost is $5 for adults and $4 for seniors [that is most of us]. Those visiting the museum may wish to bring a snack to eat before going in.
