Weiser State Forest hike of Feb.28, 2009


Kurt and I met at the Love’s Truck Stop off I – 78 Exit #23 around 0915 after idle chit chat and a visit to the Subway at the Truck Stop. (trail snacks) we proceeded to the parking area where we would enter the forest.

Till we got our packs organized and warmer cloths added on to our bodies it was 10:00 when we entered the forest. The first 2 miles was up the mountain. In which we where in no big hurry, this being the first hike of the year we where a bit out of shape. Plus the fact that we were taking in all that nature had to offer.
In the 5 !/2 hours we where out we covered approximately 6.25 miles in 28-30 degree temps. . Other then a few other hikers the only other living creature was a squirrel and a couple birds (No Robins yet ). We did however see some interesting stone walls and rocks piled in a circle 2 ft. high and 8-10 ft in circumference. Which will warrant future research for there being.

For those that don't follow the Forum; Kurt and myself will be conducting our First Hike of 2009 tomorrow, Feb. 28th. It will be held in Weiser State Forest. Which is in Berks & Schulkill counties. It's open to all that wish to join us. If interested you can contact me at: lcghosts@fullcircleresearchers.com OR lcghosts@yahoo.com

The hike will take place Rain or Shine , Hot or Cold so if your thinking of joining us; be prepared and come prepared.

Our next planned Hike will be on March 21st. At Michaux State Forest, this will be an over night hike. We're planning on hiking in till we find a likely spot or till we're tired of hiking. Set up camp, spend the night and hike out the next day. This will be a first for us, although we've been gearing up for it a while now, buying back Packing Tents , Sleeping Bags and other lighter equipment which we'll need to make are stay in the Forest comfortable. This type of hike may not be for everyone. But it's Time to get back in Tune with Nature Folks.
You can contact me for more info on this hike at the above e-mail address's or follow the planning of both hikes on the Forum.
