Saturday October 27, 2012 - Halloween Camping & Hike at French Creek


Approx 5 .1 miles according to new trail maps which will be available

Don’t be scared to join leaders for camping at the yurts in French Creek State Park on the last weekend in October. The hike will end with a Soup & Sandwich gathering by the boat ramp parking area. Folks can bring a dish (please no roasted snail toes or pickled spider eggs) to go with caldron soup and finger sandwiches. One of the cooks promises not to over-cook and make the noodles disappear into oblivion like last year! Anyone else who would like to camp can check for cabin/yurt availability. 


Meeting place: The hike will start at 9:30 am @ Hopewell village parking lot with shuttling of needed vehicles to end point. The hike will end @ the parking lot on Fire Tower Road. We will then move everyone to the boat ramps by Scotts Run Road to Hopewell lake for soup and sandwiches.
