PA>2014 Spring MAHHA April 25-27th Official Planning Thread

Quarry Gap beats Caledonia SP hands down. What is it? 3 +/- mile hike? I can't remember... But it's a very easy hike, other than the little climb up the hill from the swimming pool area. OTOH, I got a little backwards on the AT leaving the parking lot; it took me longer to find the AT than it did to climb the hill

Agreed. Check out my video from last year.

I would be up for your pre-MAHHA hike from Caledonia or as suggested, Quarry Gap would be so much better. The acommodations are hard to beat. I've never over-nighted there but have hiked a few times thru there and it is gorgeous.
Thursday night, 19 mile hike to Pine Grove on Friday would be great.

I've actually been to the quarry gap shelter. VegaMike and I stopped there on a hike (http://midatlantichikes.com/rockyknob-quarrygap.htm) last fall. It wasn't far at all from the trail head we parked at. I'd definitely be up for staying there Thursday night for the pre-hike.

I left a comment in the spreadsheet, but I figured this will be seen by a few more folks. Is firewood from my stack in York, PA okay for PA park regulation purposes?

Yes, that will be fine. Thanks for checking!

Does anyone know of a source for wood in that area,, maybe we could all go in on a truck load, kinda like jd did in Watoga and split the cost and share the pile, we then would not have to worry about fire wood or have to pay the high rate for sub par wood most campgrounds offer for sale,,

Anybody??

I will send an e-mail to the park manager to see if he has any suggestions for a source...If anyone else know of a source...let us know!

I got a bunch of wood from a guy down the road from the park last year. I forgot how much it was but we got a ton quite cheaply.

I'll bring a box full of wood from PA. Also at least three of my lightweight cook kits for the raffle.
