My son Thomas and I headed out to Lenhartsville, PA to Blue Rocks Campground.
We visited Hawk Mountain in Kempton, PA on the appalachian trail. Hawk mountain
is a great view point from which to look out for hawks, eagles and other
migratory raptors during the migratory months. On this day in late October
we saw peregrine falcons, sharp-shinned hawks, red tail hawks, northern
harriers, American Kestrel, turkey vultures, ospreys, and merlins, 2 golden
eagles were also spotted earlier that morning but we missed them. We also
hiked up the mountain 1500+ feet to visit Pulpit Rock observatory. The
observatory is accesible from the trail head which begins right in Blue Rocks
campground. Blue Rocks Campground is also home to one of the largest boulder
fields left over from the last ice age. Check out the pics of our J20 with
camper in the middle of the boulder field on a road that was built through
it. We got to try out the J20 and camper on some of the roughest roads yet.
This was a great trip and I would highly recommend it. Also local to the
campground is Crystal Cave which is worth the trip. Enjoy the pics. You can
