Saturday 2/9 Bethlehem/Allentown Hike and Buckettfest!


For this year's annual Buckettfest Hike, we will hike an almost completely new route, this time between the Buckettorium and Emmaus area once again!
The route will include many small parks, back streets and roads, the Little Lehigh Parkway trails, part of Jordan Creek Trail, old rail beds, cemeteries, and much more!
Most of the terrain will be somewhat easy, but there could always be unexpected turns.
The route should be considered mostly suburban, though much of it will be in woods and along creeks and rivers. Some trails are paved or crushed stone, while others will be natural surface or grass.
The hike will be 15.2 miles as scaled.
We will be meeting at 8:30 am at Dunkin Donuts, 1870 Catasaqua Road, Bethlehem PA. To get there, take Rt 22 to Airport Road south. Make the first left on Catasaqua Road, and the Dunkin Donuts is on the right.
After meeting, we'll shuttle with as few cars as possible south to Emmaus, and retrieve them after the hike. The party will begin that evening immediately following the hike.
We will be passing by stores and such, so only water and maybe a snack should be needed on this hike.

I MAY do a night hike this week, and it'd have to be Thursday. Otherwise, I am continuing my trail work on Marble Hill/Phillipsburg area regularly if anyone would like to join. Warren  Highlands Trail is nearly done. Now focusing efforts on the new yellow trail!
