Thursday February 19, 2015 - Birdsboro Watershed

JODY will lead a 4-5 mile hike in the Birdsboro Watershed, beginning at the parking lot on Hay Creek Road that is across from the old White Bear Inn. We will walk on a woods trail along the northwest side of the creek to the old quarry and the climbing wall which soars above it. We will not be climbing the wall itself but walking on a level trail on a wide ledge next to the rock face. If there has been precipitation followed by freezing and then milder temperatures, we should see magnificent stalactites of ice. We will then walk down to the quarry lake via a wide paved road to view the lake and wall from the bottom. If the trail is icy, we will walk along the road to get to the quarry. This hike is mainly on flat ground.

MEET at 10:00 A.M. at the White Bear Inn parking lot. Parking is limited so please carpool.

TELEPHONE: Jody at 610-286-8913 with any questions.
