Description: First up on our day, we'll head to Big Pocono State Park for a hard hike down a mountain and then back up. Our guidebook says, "Tremendous views await the hiker from the top of Camelback Mountain. From an elevation of 2,132', you have a fine view of the plateau to the north, the Delaware Water Gap to the southeast, and High Point, NJ, to the northeast. The Catskill Mountains of New York lie 84 miles to the northeast and are visible on a very clear day."
The first time I was here I stumbled upon a flock of 17 wild turkeys as well as some deer. Unlike many trails, this one starts at the top of the mountain and then loops around the summit dropping up and down a few times for a total elevation gain of more than 1,500 feet. So, this hike is not for the faint of heart.
After the hike, its off to a local gun range where you can learn to shoot some of the world's most exotic weapons under the watchful eye of expert instructors.
Price includes: Shooting any three weapon, eye and ear protection. If that is not enough, you can chose to buy more opportunities al la cartr from many other weapons including uzis, ak-47s, magnum 44s and even a custom made pistol that shoots M-16 rounds.
Directions: Carpool info and meeting spot directions will be sent to all paid registrants.
