Shamokin PA, April 18th-19th *feeler*

So looks like it's only two of us for Friday and camping?

Saturday:

1. armyofsquirrels
2.
3.

 

The place we camped at in March was near the hill climb, we never found the squatter spot. Of you find the squatter spot , pin it so we can find it again

 

I was wondering about that.

 

I can be there by 1000 on Saturday. I only have about an hour drive.

 

Nice

 

I'll have to try to pull the Metadata on the photo I took. It didn't save my pin drop on Google maps from when we went last time. I'm not even sure where to look in Google Earth.

 

okay got some bad news, The metadata of the photo does not include the GPS location unfortunately.... so all we have to go off of is this photo:

 

Try Google Maps coordinates 40.771617, -76.655830. That looks like the place that I remember.

 

Thanks, I've spent hours and hours combing over Google maps and a topo map app trying to locate this same spot unfortunately you can't see the traps and dump piles I remember seeing from space. I'm going to check a couple spots when I get there Friday morning.

 

Those coordinates were actually first on my list to check lol

 

How difficult are the trails? I've got a bone stock 01 tacoma, 4x4 with the trd package and some fairly worn street tires, would I still be able to do most of the stuff? And are you guys wheeling saturday as well? I would love to finally take my truck off road, but don't know if it'll be able to handle it with the crappy tires it has

 

The trails are very easy they have other trails that are more challenging and some play areas as well. It's a huge place and has a little bit of everything. Your truck truck will be fine, if we come across anything you can't make it through we can always turn around and head to a different area. The plan is to wheel Friday morning at 10am meet at the Whaleback and then camp Friday night, and meet at the whaleback at 10am Saturday until 3pm I'll have to leave for work at that time.

 

Weather is looking like it should be nice. Might get a little cold at night but o well...

 

In that case, count me in for Saturday!

 

Alright we are just a few days away. So does anyone else know if they are camping Friday Night?

 

I think I will. Should be getting home around 8 Thursday. Should be plenty of time to pack.

Is there plenty of wood up there to burn?

 

They have been logging the area. There is wood laying around ripe for picking.

 

Sweet!

I'm probably gonna bring my fishing pole for something to do when not wheeling.

 

Yea im going to bring a few dry logs with me just in case.

 

My plan for dinner Friday night is to goto a pub me and Tex found called Brewers right inside of town.
