LES will lead a 6.5-7 mile road hike in Alsace & Oley Townships. The hike will begin at Spies Church in Alsace Twp. and proceeds along the western ridge and the base of the Oley Valley. We will pass historic homesteads and get a magnificent view of the Oley Valley. If conditions permit, there will be an additional stop at the “Sacred Oak”. This would add .75 mile to the hike through a field that could be frozen, icy or soggy. Lunch later is optional.
MEET: 10:00 A.M. @ Spies Church parking lot between the two churches.
DIRECTIONS: Take Rte. 12 towards Pricetown, after expressway narrows to two lanes, shortly thereafter you will pass Blind Hartman’s Hotel on left side, then take next right which is Skyline Drive. Continue for ½ to ¾ mile where Skyline Dr. curves to the right, go straight ahead instead onto Blankenbiller Road. Continue 1-2 miles until Blankenbiller Road merges with Antietam Road. Go straight at the stop sign. At the first intersection where Antietam Rd goes right, continue across the intersection onto Church Hill Road. Go to the “T” and turn right to the churches on left side.
TELEPHONE: LES 610-323-1703.
