Saturday November 13, 2010 - St Lawrence Mountain Hike

approx. 5-6 miles


Ever wonder about that mountain at the base of the Antietam Valley shopping center in St Lawrence? This may be a new area to some club members. There are some nice views, which means hiking hills to get to them! Since this area used to be the water source for the St. Lawrence Borough, some trails could be wet. Also some rocky sections. Wear hiking boots and don’t forget snacks and water.


Meeting place: 9:00 am, at playground corner of Adams & Jacksonwald Ave., off St. Lawrence Ave.


Directions: From Perkiomen Avenue in Mt Penn, (at McDonald’s) turn onto St Lawrence Avenue. Go past 2 traffic lights then left onto Adams St. one block to playground on your right


For further directions and information, contact: 610-374-2394; a local expert on this area may also join us.
