Thursday February 2, 2012 - Schuylkill River Trail

GERRY & WILLIE will lead a 5 mile hike on the Schuylkill River Trail. This is more of this trail to add to your records. The first mile will be along a “pot holed” road above the Schuylkill River and by the orchards. Then, we will do all road walking with about a mile of it being more gravel than macadam. Suggest you wear orange, since it is along the road and at places there is no shoulder. This will be a shuttle hike and requires cooperation. Lunch is optional afterwards at Hoss’s Restaurant in Leesport.

MEET: 10:00 A.M. @ Rte. 61 N in Cross Keys behind the Boy Scout bldg. in lot at Cross Keys Center Campus.

TELEPHONE: Gerry or Willie 610-678-5245 with questions.

Thursday January 26, 2012 - French Creek Six Penny Trail

CLYDE will lead a 5 mile loop hike in FRENCH CREEK STATE PARK on the orange blazed SIX PENNEY TRAIL. In the area that was once a fresh water swimming lake, Clyde will be using a “GPSr” (Global Positioning Satellite receiver) along with a brochure issued by the park. The purpose is to locate and identify some of the remaining structures from the time when this section of French Creek S. P. was in full swing. (This is not to be confused with Geocaching!). See map of trails at: http://combinedschedules.blogspot.com

MEET: 10:00 A.M. @ Parking area along Geigertown Road close to the Gun Club.

NOTE: Wear Orange as there may still be hunters in the area.

TELEPHONE: Clyde 610-913-0284 or day of event 610-413-6281 with questions.
