Mid Summer At The PPL Wetlands.
It’s hard to believe Summer is at its midpoint. Seems like only yesterday the skunk cabbage were just pushing through the snow at the PPL Wetlands. It has been a few weeks since I have been down to the wetlands and I decided to head there yesterday morning. It rained in the morning and was…
Boiling Springs: A Perfect Place If You Like Nature, History, Culture, Or All Three.

A Weekend Of Swamps, Soldiers And Summer Weather In Northeastern Pennsylvania

We finally got my favorite kind of Summer weather here today, hazy, hot and humid. It was mostly sunny with temperatures nearing 90 degrees. I didn’t get to enjoy all of it, I had a long day at the office and didn’t get home until late in the afternoon. When I did, I immediately grabbed…

The Last Day Of Spring At The PPL Wetlands. It Went Way Too Fast.
It’s hard to believe that today is the last day of Spring. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was looking for the first robin and seeing the first skunk cabbages appear in the woods of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Now the young robins, like this one, fly through the woodlands. Tomorrow is the longest…
It Didn’t Take Long To Return To The Weiser State Forest.
After learning about, and hiking in , the Weiser State Forest last Saturday, I knew it wouldn’t be long until I returned. And it wasn’t. I decided to do some more exploration of this area the very next day. It was a sunny and very windy June morning when I arrived at the visitor center…
