Recently I did a walk down the steep mountain grade to the area underneath the historic Kinzua Bridge, near Mt. Jewett, Pa. For several years I have wanted to take the trail down to the Kinzua creek and walk up the other side to see the twisted pieces of iron work, remains of the famous...

I have been seriously thinking about getting a kayak this summer to explore the quiet inlets and streams that feed our larger rivers and lakes, and dams. The biggest question I get is if you fall out by rolling the kayak over or by accident how are you going to get back in the boat by yourself...

It has been around -9 here for a week. i got new boots to keep my feet warm and new gloves for when I have to shovel snow up I am still freezing. What will I do when the temps drop lower.

When I get out for a day in the park where I will be cooking a meal I use a handy container that is generally used for medications. It holds several different spices or seasonings in which tiny oxygen packets could be placed to keep each item dry enough to not get hard from dampness.
