new adventures

As I mentioned in the previous post I decided this week that at least two days a week this summer, I need to make a road trip to walk. Go to someplace new and exciting and not south Bethlehem. Scratch that. Not the Lehigh Valley. If my vacation week taught me nothing,  it taught me that different is good. Much more motivating.

So this is the plan: Every Tuesday or Wednesday  and every Saturday or Sunday this summer I'm getting in the car and going someplace. Any place one to two hours away.

That's pretty much here to Philly, east into Jersey (Princeton anyone?) and west to maybe Harrisburg, north to Scranton-ish. Clearly, I'd have to google the directions to make sure it fits in the perimeters.

I've done a lot of the Volkssport walks in the northern Philly 'burbs. Since this is for places I've never gone, these are new Volkssport walks I'm interested in:
Promised Land. I haven't been there since I was maybe 12.
Hatfield. It's new.
Ephrata. I've never seen the Cloisters. I cannot believe it.
Harrisburg/Camp Hill
Manheim
New Holland
Susquehannock State Park (Drumore)
Lebanon (They used to have their own club. The Bologna Stompers. Is that not the best name ever?)

I think there are 3 in Wilmington, Delaware
And 10 PAWs walks in Jersey. Though most of the shore walks are three hours away.


Then there are the 10, make it 9 Montco parks I haven't been to yet.

I'm sure there are others. A little research would be needed. I am open to suggestions. If I am going to walk every day of summer vacation I need to stay motivated. It's always more fun if someone comes along. We can pack a picnic. I'll drive.
