Roaring Creek Trail, Weiser State Forest Hike. A New Playground?
I have to thank my nephew Mikey for introducing me to a new, and beautiful world to hike and explore, only 30 miles from my front door. He had a high school trap shooting event in Elysburg yesterday morning and, although I am not a big gun person, I had to attend and support him…

A Hike Out To The Penrose Reservoir. Shortened By Storm Clouds.
We had record breaking heat here in Northeastern Pennsylvania this weekend. I love the warm temperatures and humidity and decided to hike the railroad tracks outside the town of Weatherly up to the Penrose Reservoir. I have been up here many times and you can search some of my earlier blog posts to learn some…
