As noted in my previous post, I was camping in upstate New York over the 4th of July Weekend (I’m actually not sure whether last weekend or the weekend prior was considered the “4th weekend”, but just go with it). I went in with the intention of taking alot of photographs, especially on the drive between Narrowsburg,

Whenever I tell people that my friends and I have an annual camping/rafting trip to New York, the reactions are usually somewhere along the lines of “wow you guys are hardcore” or “I’d never be able to rough it for a weekend and do whitewater.” Occasionally I let whoever I’m talking to think I’m some backwoods
Anyone familiar with PA’s coal region should know that Anthracite coal was essentially the reason for both the region’s rise and downfall. Even though miles of mines run underneath North Eastern Pennsylvania, the entrances to the majority of these mines are sealed. The poorly sealed entrance to one sat in the woods below where I
It’s currently 99 degrees in Lancaster. It’s 10:50 in the morning. I like hot weather, but this is borderline not ok.

I absolutely love the summer, but don’t do well with extreme heat, and was lucky enough to spend my summers growing up (and parts of my subsequential adult summers) in Northeast PA. I was also privy to a newer home that doesn’t overheat, a backyard swimming pool, and plenty of friends with pools and lakes of their own.
More to add to the Summer 2012 to do list. One of my favorite summer activity is concerts in the lawn section at Montage Mountain. In fact, I used to have personal policy that if I new at least two songs and the tickets were under $30.00, I’d go just for the hell of it.
After my last post on zorbing. I started doing some personal research on ski resort summer fun. As I mentioned there, it seems as if the in vogue thing for PA ski resorts is to start including “summer adventures” in hopes to increase their revenue (and with the winter we just had, it’s a smart move).

I was discussing what I had in store for summer vacation with my students today (a sanitized version for their benefit of course), when one of them said they were excited to be going zorbing out west. Since I’d been embarassed the day before by asking them what Tumblr was, and just last week asked
