Where to Go Camping
There was a statement in an older version of the Boy Scout Handbook that said: “Have you ever dreamed of hiking the wilderness trails that were worn down under moccasins hundreds of years ago? Do you hear in your imagination the almost soundless dip, dip of Indian canoe paddles or the ring of the axe of an early pioneer hewing a home out of the American wilderness? Have you followed with you mind’s eye the covered wagon on the trek across our continent? Yes, it’s fun to be a Boy Scout! It’s fun to go hiking and camping with your best friends…..to swim, to dive, to paddle a canoe, to wield the axe…..to follow in the footsteps of the pioneers who led the way through the wilderness…..to stare into the glowing embers of the campfire and dream of the wonders of the lift that is in store for you…” This is the heart of Scouting, but we don’t always know the best place to go on these outings. How better can the Order of the Arrow fulfill a part of their responsibility of service to others than to make this camping guide available? A great guide to the best camping, boating, hiking and sightseeing both in and out of the Council, but, of course, one of the best places to do real camping is at one of the Council’s reservations. Richard A. Henson or Rodney Scout Reservation, both long term camping during the summer months, or weekends through the year, affords a maximum of program.

Pennsylvania Happy Places
( ) Finding Outside Insights from the People Who Know Pennsylvania’s State Parks and Forests DCNR.PA.gov 1845 Market Street | Suite 202 Camp Hill, PA 17011 717.236.7644 PAParksandForests.org Penn’s Woods is full of the kinds of places that make people happy. At the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation we discover this each year when we announce our annual Parks and Forests Through the Seasons photo contest and marvel as your breath-taking entries roll in. And we hear it every day when we talk to the hard-working men and women who earn their daily bread in one of the hundreds of different occupations throughout the parks and forests system. We see the pride they take in their work—and the joy they experience in being outside every day in the places we all love. On the occasion of this 2018 Giving Tuesday, we are delighted to share some of their favorite places. Maybe one of them will become your happy place as well! Visit DCNR.PA.gov for the state park or forest mentioned in this booklet. Drop us a line at [email protected] or visit our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PennsylvaniaParksAndForestsFoundation) and let us know what you find Out There. #PAParks&ForestsHappyPlace I’m drawn to rock outcroppings, hence my attraction to several hiking opportunities in the Michaux State Forest. Sunset Rocks Trail (https://www.purplelizard.com/blogs/news/ camp-michaux-and-sunset-rocks-history-vistas-and-more-in-michaux- state-forest), a spur to the Appalachian Trail, rewards the intrepid hiker with amazing views along a rocky spine.

UPLIFT Newsletter M Ay 2 0 19
The United Presbyterian Church of Blairsville, PA UPLIFT Newsletter M ay 2 0 19 It was the day after Easter. Bobbi and I ran into a friend at Rite Aid. “So, you’re out getting your medicine?” he asked. “No” I replied, “I’m out getting my discounted chocolate candy.” To some, Easter is about receiving the power of God that renews us and makes us whole. To others, its about getting a cheap sugar high. To some its about resounding the Alleluias. To others its about an eyeful of pastel col- ors and a nose-full of fragrant blooms. But whatever it is, it sadly seems to eventually fade. There were those four glorious years of my childhood (before my sister was born) that I had the delight of being the only grandchild. Grandma doted on her “honey boy” and Pappy Moe spoiled me rotten. Each Easter, he would buy a dozen or so little chicks that had been dyed pink and yellow and blue and green. I would giggle and bounce as they ran around me. But within a couple days all the chicks would die (probably from the coloring that had been put on their feathers) and all I was left with was a memory. One place we get it wrong is when we think of Easter as a one day celebration—God’s victory neatly packed into a twenty-four hour box. According to our liturgical calendar, Easter is a season fifty days long in which we celebrate the forty days Jesus spent time with the disciples, then ascended into heaven and the faithful waited patiently for the coming of the Spirit.

Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 4 – October 10, 2018 New Map Format You will notice the fall foliage map is different this year. We hope you find it more useful and attractive. A few words follow on how to interpret the new format. TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD The new Fall Foliage Map is based on a color-code system, where brighter colors essentially mean more vibrant foliage. To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No change= peak is approximately one month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview Above-average temperatures last week slowed the foliage transition throughout the commonwealth. Foresters in northern and southwestern Pennsylvania are reporting localized defoliations of some maples, cherries, and oaks due to heavy wind, rain, and fungi. Most foliage in southern Pennsylvania is unchanged from last week, but most of the state’s forests are showing signs of the season. Northeastern counties continue to boast the best color in the state, however substantial foliage progress has been noted from Mercer eastward through Clearfield counties. Long-range weather forecasts call for a considerable cooldown in roughly one week, which should accelerate the foliar transition throughout the majority of Pennsylvania.
