Perfect Day on a Bike

Today was an awesome day to be out tearing around on a mountain bike.  We had an amazing group of youngsters, solidifying the notion that the sport of mountain biking will be okay for years to come. The course wasn't easy this morning and there were no complaints about going up a hill or having to go over fallen trees. Bottom line, the riders were troopers who enjoyed ripping around the woods! On Thursday, we will surpass the 1,000 mile mark for the third straight time!! Great work! Enjoy the photos below from this mornings journey! Bob and Kirk    ..read more

Solid Session in the Woods!

Camp was full of life today as we had seventeen riders who were ready to take on anything that was put in front of them.  As you'll be able to see in the photos below we had a lot of great kids who encouraged others or picked each other up if they took a spill. It was really fun to watch the riders get to know one another and make new friends while they were going through the session today.  In total, we rode close to six miles today filled with old logging trails, singletrack, logs, roots and rocks. Every rider did a great job working through each obstacle! Once we arrived back a ..read more

Ripping Around the Woods!

Camp was great today! The riders did an awesome job exploring and riding over some newly downed obstacles, thanks to Mother Nature. In total, we rode ten miles with close to 700 feet of elevation gain. Solid ride! Today, as most days of camp, Bob and I will talk throughout camp and comment on the improvements of the mountain bikers. We let the riders make their own choices of what they want to ride over, or what they wish to walk their bike over. It never ceases to amaze us how each individual chooses to ride over obstacles that they wouldn't have attempted at the start of the day. It's one ..read more

Perfect Day for Fly Fishing!

The conditions for this mornings fly fishing session would be tough to beat! The stream had the opportunity to clear up from yesterday's murky conditions and the fish cooperated very nicely. Our fisherman did an outstanding job casting, in fact he looked at me at one point and said, check out this bow and arrow cast. He performed it with ease and used it properly to sling an elk hair ant underneath a overhanging tree! Well done! We had the luxury of landing six fish, watched a few fish attack the ant and had the chance to play a really nice 14 - 16 inch trout, although it came off a bit e ..read more

Fly Fishing Central PA

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day on the waters of Central Pennsylvania. Sure, the heavy rain we got yesterday made the water a tad on the murky side, but we still fished hard! Most of the targeted areas were ambush points where the trout could stay out of swifter currents and still have an opportunity to feed on any unsuspecting insects. The varieties of flies that we used were terrestrials which are a popular meal throughout the summer months. Both of our fisherman did a phenomenal job getting to know the basics of assembling a rod, fly casting, line control amongst a lot of other in ..read more

Day Three, Week One: Huge congrats to all of our mountain bikers today and those who joined us throughout the entire week! Today was the most challenging of the three days and everyone did a great job working through some extremely technical terrain, rubbing some dirt on scrapes and tip toeing past a rattlesnake and a snapping turtle. Well done! Everyone gathered and listened to the game plan for the session.  We split into two groups and half of us rode up Bear Meadows Road to Corner Road, up Camp, to Beer Tap and across the Ridge to Kettle Trail descent.  The half of the group p ..read more

DAY TWO, WEEK 1: The second day of camp was another rippin' day on the trails as we are now up to 342 miles biked during camp in 2017! As soon as the bikers got to the lot, they shook out their legs by tearing around the warm up loop and got ready for a big day of biking. Once everyone arrived we took a decent journey to some more technical riding and trails filled with roots, rocks and log obstacles. It's always fun to see the natural progression of how the bikers gain confidence and their ability to read a trail and see the "correct" line to travel. Everyone did a great job conquering ob ..read more
