June Hikes!

Hey All!
We have some good stuff coming up! The next hike will be a night one around Great Meadows area this Friday, 6/14. We'll do one of two loops, meeting at the Townsbury lot on Pequest Road, located a short distance from the intersection with Rt 46 next to the bridge over the river. 15 miles.

Sunday 6/16: Join us for another great hike in the Pocono Rim series I  have been conducting for years!
We have reached the area of Milford  PA, and have just about reached the northern end of the recreation area, but there is still so much more to see.
Meet at the Grand Union Supermarket in Milford PA located at 501 Harford Street, Milford PA. From Rt 209, rather than continuing north when it turns in Milford, go straight and the store will be shortly ahead on the right. Park near to the road. We'll begin the long loop hike here. Although this hike is fifteen miles, parts of it will be quite difficult.
Hikers should be prepared for bushwhacking, off trail sections, back road walks, and getting their feet wet. At one point we may be going through a giant pipe.
This hike is NOT a beginner's hike, and anyone who is uncomfortable with the possibly very difficult nature of this hike should plan on turning back after the beginning portion.
I have arrange for a tour ($8 per person) of Grey Towers, the former home of Gifford Pinchot, our nation's first forester, as a group. From there we'll visit Pinchot Falls, and do on and off trail sections through more municipal lands. We may also take a side trip to The Knob while others take a break.
There will also be at least one very steep section off trail.

On Sunday 6/23: 
Join us for this terrific loop hike in and around Atlantic City!
We will use a train to fill in the gap of this almost loop utilizing some of the Casino areas, bay side walkways and roads, a long stretch of beach, and some other little parks meandering through Pleasantville, Absecon, and vicinity!
We won't wander through the casino areas as much, this time spending some extra time at the beach for swimming.
We'll continue along the back roads and a few random trails I found!
About five miles will be beach. There will be a little road walking at the beginning through Pleasantville, a short trail, and then the Linwood Rail Trail. We'll turn off of this to head south over the causeway to Margate City. From there we'll follow the beach to AC. We'll finish up in town and take a train back to where we started. It only costs a couple of dollars.

The following weekend will be a great point to point hike in the Delaware Water Gap NRA, a very difficult hike with some off trail. More to come on these items later!
