Hawk Mountain

“Anyone going to be in that area the weekend of October 17-19?”

“In Georgia?”

“No, Pennsylvania”

“Hawk Mtn is the stomping grounds for Stratusloop and his daughter. It is a wonderful place known for the migration of hawks. Now would be the time to get out to see it.

I have been to HM many times and always found it to be full of adventure and wilderness...it is a day hike place...no overnight camping.”

“You can turn it into an overnight by pcking up the AT”

“You can't pick up the AT in Pennsylvania. The rocks weigh it down too much!”

“The portion of the AT that runs by Hawk Mt. Sanctuary is my favorite section in PA.”

“I especially like bouldering on the River of Rocks...good place to practice balance and rock hopping. Thats where I learned all my hopping skills from. I used to love bouldering, but on my last Rocky trip...I bouldered over a mile on a severe slope, and the dang boulders were movin as I was landing on them...and all I could think about was sheet...if I fall, and get caught, I'm gonna have to saw my arm off and hike out. I don't like boulderin no more, or at least not at a 45-50% angle.”

“Breaking my leg cured me of enjoying boulder hopping. But then sometimes it's the only way to get where you're going.”

“like up to the dang divide...

Its a good thing I was solo...cause anyone that would have been with me, would have shot me...LOL.”

“stikmon - been to hawk mt. before and loved it. would like to move out there someday. can't wait to get there in the fall though. i was there in the summer. no overnight camping, i know, but there are a ton of nearby sites to set up camp. plus like LThiker said.. the AT is just a short hike away. haven't been on the river of rocks yet, but would like to try it this trip.”

“not been on the river of rocks?????

must have not been on the AT east of Carlisle then”

“nope, not yet... was on the AT up by the DE water gap”

“rock alley...or some such name up in the Gap on the AT...on the way to Sunfish Pond...I always hated that section, but then again, that was a long time ago, when I was a tenderfeet...now, I'm longshanks, a tried and true Ranger of the North...I'll laugh at the River of Rocks and bound across them like an elf on fire...LOL”

“and if you had a flaw, which you OBVIOUSLY don't, it's modesty : )”

“Time to put up or shut up : )

Before getting into an overnighter...

How's about the ten mile perimeter trail at the Tyler Arboretum for a dayhike this weekend?”

“Bobo has thrown down the gauntlet!

(Run away, Scorchy, run away as fast as you can...)”

“bobo waits for the "can I bring a friend along? reply

8~o”

“are ya gettin your pants in a juicy state of mind just contemplatin the possibilities of a "friend" too”

“lol....wow, Bobo. You skipped the "dont worry, Im a nice guy" straight to the "you better bring a friend to be safe." Im proud of you. Thats what I call skipping to the point.”

“Wha happened?

Have I extinguished the ScorchFire!!! haa ha ha!

Don't listen to these cretans Miss Scorch as I am a gentleman, through and through!
- and if you don't believe me, ask any Lady on this board!

If you wanna go, we'll put it up on the trips page for anyone to join, perhaps your squeeze, 2scoops, will make an appearance!”

“Bobo is harmless just don't get between him and his food!”

“Sure! Sounds like fun... gimme details! Sat? Sun? Time? Where to meet, etc....”

“...and are we talkin Tyler in Media or Tyler in Newtown?”

“Those interested in a dayhike at the Tyler Arboretum (Lima, PA - near Media), head on over to the new thread entitled (surprisingly)... Tyler Arboretum!”

“creative!”
