Hello, All,
The wife and I are doing our next section Memorial Day weekend between Caledonia and Pine Grove Furnace State Parks in PA. Some questions:
1.) Are there any good places to camp between Middle Ridge Road and Milesburn Cabin? The first day, I'm shooting for between 5-8 miles; Quarry Gap shelter is way too close and Birch Run too far. (The second night we'll be at Toms Run.) If there was a good place close to Milesburn Cabin without actually trespassing on PATC property, that would be particularly good, as it would be nice to have water nearby.
2.) Speaking of water, how's it doing around there? The NOAA maps indicate that precipitation has improved over the last month or so, but is still lagging behind normal for the YTD.
3.) How far is Dark Hollow vista from the trail? If it's close, it would be nice to get another good view (since the only other one seems to be Sunset Rocks) but if it's going to be a ways, we might just drive to it someday.
Any other information that people feel would be good to know would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!
