Susquehanna was a great place to hike, I dont believe I ever been. Started at the Mill Parking lot and then took the Orange Trail to a large number of other trails through the Woods, Farmland and by the river. It was a nice mixture of hills (up and down) and flat land. The trail is shared by hoarses, and from the evidence ALOT of them so it is advisable to watch your step! As at patapsaco there were some neat old, half falling down building and a really awesome tree!
I went off the path numerous times and had to back track lol, the trails werent always evident and the
which were all together very easy to follow (and thankfully got me back to the car!) also got me concerned about following trails at times to the left (it said follow Green > Not To Left) so I ended up taking a wrong spur that ended up at a road or picnic area just to have to hike back up to the trail and continue on, but overall things were well, the last mile or so was walking on the road (which if you have ever been to Susquehanna you know isnt the widest thing in the world). But over all it was a nice hike. I was glad that the person who put together this combination of trails wasnt playing some kinda joke and put you somewhere way far away (thought poped in my head about half-way/3/4 of the way through the hike).Also, good it wasnt much longer, think I will have a ways to go to make more than 9 miles in one hike, and would deffinately help if I quit smoking!!!
Tim and I talked about meeting you for one of the short hikes. With an 8 month old baby it may be difficult (lots of carrying her). I doubt my back would support and extra 18lbs. But I'll check the schedule though.
