Looks like a nice trail. Glad Shawnee is doing well. Thanks for sharing.

I almost skilled this hike because I did not think it would be much but I am so glad we went anyway. It was very nice!

It's always good to see the two of you on the trail(s). This quartet looks really nice w/relatively short hops inbetween. I'd imagine it's best to get to them now before hunting season starts. Not sure whether PA now allows hunting on Sunday. I know NJ was considering it, too.

And we are always happy to be on the trails! Sadly, hunting season has already started. There is no hunting in PA on Sundays still but there is in NY, hence Shawnee's wardrobe change once we hit the NY side.
