keep you eyes open in pa cause you may just walk past some nice blueberry patches
I did last weekend but they still seemed a long way off.

Just don't eat them in the vicinity of the Palmer Superfund site (zinc contamination). I learned about this in the book The Beaten Path by Robert Alden Rubin.

I ate a boatload of them walking over the superfund site. Blackberries too....
In PA but not the AT: saw (and ate) lots of blueberries on the Black Forest Trail. The surprising part, for me at least, was its occurrence in early October.
And you're still alive? Amazing!

I'm not saying it didn't affect me - I did buy a hammock after all...And you're still alive? Amazing!

(Don't tell anybody but I bought Powder River's Hennessy Hyperlite for my wife today.. )
How sweet a parting gift from the soon to be departed. They say it takes a while for all the zinc to shut down your organs. make sure to give all your money away before the government gets it through inheritance taxes. I'll PM you my address. It will be safe with me.

Blueberrys, Huckleberry, Rasberry.... All here spring to fall in PA .. Now get out & hike!
Huckle is less sweet and very good.

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.
Woo
I did think I was tripping for a minute when I saw that big pile of rocks that I had to climb down to get to Palmerton.....
Then I realized it was just central receiving for the PA Rock Dept.
I always stop for berries; it's a great excuse to take a break, and it reminds me of home, where I pick them pretty much nonstop from June 'til fall.
I always leave the berries for the animals that normally eat them. I don't consider myself a tree hugger or a big supporter of PITA, but I always feel like I can buy whatever I need to eat, and the animals can't. Am I just going overboard?
I think there are plenty of wild berries for all creatures, human and otherwise. You'll probably browse right by the trail; wildlife will nibble anywhere.
Maybe, maybe not, but in Pennsylvania those responsible for deciding such things generally think its okay to pick fruits and berries for immediate personal consumption.
Given enough nibbling by hikers, wildlife one might wish to see by the trail will need to do their nibbling somewhere else.
Plus - you see invisible fences.

Just because my teeth are showing, does NOT mean I'm smiling.
Hányszor lennél inkább máshol?
I ate tons of berries and one cluster was the biggest I have ever seen. About 5 minutes of hiking later came the zinc site. Hope I was not as close as I fear I was.
