Backpacking in Pennsylvania (PA)

On Oct. 18/97 some of my friends, Andre and I decided to hike the eastern rim of the Pine Creek trail in up-state PA. This region is also know as the grand canyon of the east.

We hiked 15 miles with our backpacks, averaging 8 per day. It was a little bit cold, the temperature went down to zero at night, but we had sunny days and it was the perfect weather for hiking.

The landscape was spectacular. This is Moose Country! The colour of the trees were red and gold, with patches of green, the sky was blue and the rivers were sparkling.

Our friends, Andre and I had a lot of fun. We were embraced by the Forrest, given a chance to be a part of the great wilderness. Which song did you think I was singing?

We saw a lot of little animals like squirrels and chip munks, even a deer, but no moose.

At night, around the camp fire we played games. My friend john taught me a game: I am going camping and I had to bring some paper. Andre can come if he brought an apple, and john can come if he brought jacks. What do you have to bring to go camping with us?
