Introduction

Hi! Last year I moved to Philly from out of state.I'm loving this city and my Mt Airy neighborhood. This is my best chapter yet. Now it is complete with hiking,relaxing in nature and meeting interesting people with common interests. I'm very excited!

I love hiking and other activities to getting my fill of nature. Necessary to balance my life at work with fun in nature. It works on all levels to create a better and happier me. And to meet people along the way will be terrific.

Hi Ilene. I have not planned a hike for the Delaware Water Gap as of yet. Keep checking back since I usually do this hike once a year. Thanks, Tim.

Thanks Ilene! My Mom had to be admitted to the hospital last night. She's doing good now.....pissed at being there over the weekend and bored. I was actually going to go ahead and to the hike today since all is OK but I just can't seem to get my self out in that falling SNOW. I'll do tomorrow's instead.

Hiking Around Philly is different from most hiking groups because we hike (and sometimes bicycle) off the beaten path. We hike in the woods and the city. We go places that won't be found on any hiker's map. The events are usually within a 1.5 hour drive from Philly, though we sometimes visit NYC or the Jersey shore. Once each year we go to Acadia National Park in Maine, one of the best places in the world to hike. We sometimes participate in a conservation work party in a area we hike.

And, we do a lot more than hike; we explore. Whether it be a trail in a park or a back alley in the city, we always look for neat things, and we find them. Did you notice the 25 foot dinosaur made from pink suntan lotion bottles? We take time to appreciate a beautiful tree, a low flying eagle, or a hickory horned devil (look it up). We visit museums, historic houses, bakeries, battleships, and other neat places. We appreciate architecture, sculptures (Philly has more than any other US city, yea!), or whatever we find near our path. After a hike we often eat at a special place. And, we rarely repeat ourselves.

Fearless lost explorers and sidney (fleas) are curious. This group is not for people content to only go down one trail and up another, nor for people happy to take the same or beaten path. This group may also be different because only one person leads hikes, gets folks lost, and does the bulk of administrative work. So, please read on to make sure you want to be a proud flea.
