SUNDAY, JUNE 5 LONG HIKE (13 MILES) - This will be a point-to-point hike along one of my favorite trails, the Tuscarora, but with a twist. We’ll hike a rugged and dry section from Colonel Denning State Park to RT 74 (Waggoners Gap). There will be a couple of fine views at Flat Rock and the Charlie Irvin Shelter and a big climb in the beginning. Lots of rocks, probably some pokey things and a secret airplane crash site. 

Meeting Location: Emigsville Park and Ride, North End meeting place Exit 24 route 83 Park and ride Lot N/E Corner Departure Time: 7:00 AM

SUNDAY, JUNE 12 MEDIUM HIKE (8 MILES): On this adventure we'll explore Blue Mountain 1200' section of Appalachian trail seeing Darlington shelter and a unique mural at PA 850 turnaround. Guess what mural is made from? Then lunch at shelter (where Tuscarora Trail begins) on return trip and again through a cool tunnel under PA 944! Bring plenty of water, lunch, snacks, wear sturdy hiking shoes. Those wishing a shorter hike can park car at RT 850 parking lot for one way.
