Fog was piled all along the top of the ridge the other morning like whipped cream.

The bear was shot by a Pottersville farmer. After it had been hit once, with No. 5 shot, it climbed into a tree in the farmer’s front yard. The farmer fired at it enough additional times to knock it out of the tree, dead. “We arrested the farmer,” MacNamara said. “We’ll hear from the agricultural organizations, but I don’t care. You have to draw the line somewhere. You can’t just shoot an animal like that because you think it can do harm. The bear was doing no damage. He was a threat to no one. All the man had to do was pick up a phone and call a conservation officer. We have specialists—biologists—who shoot tranquillizers into bears with a dart gun; then we can move them. We wanted to move this one up into the Kittatinny Mountains. It’s a shame. The species is not overabundant in New Jersey. We have only twenty-two bears—” He stopped and corrected himself, saying “Twenty-one.” ♦

Acropolis Trail -> Appalachian Trail -> Ladder Trail -> Woods Road
Stokes State Forest
5.73 miles
863 ft. Elevation Gain
This is my second time here hiking in Stokes State Forest. The route I decided to take was a little strange, but it ended up being really awesome. The Acropolis Trail intersects with the AT for about a half mile until you get up to the view point. The trail before the AT was ok, but after that it was also of bushwhacking from overgrowth, plus, poison ivy covered everything. After the summit I headed back down and walked south on the AT until I got to the Ladder trail which was short but SO STEEP! I literally side on my butt for some of it. I then took a forest road to the Kittatinny Lake Community where there were a lot of lake houses that I wish I could afford haha. So besides the blanket of poison ivy, and sliding down a steep trail, it was so beautiful out! And once again, another hike where I didn't see absolutely anyone. Trying to enjoy these September hike where its not cold out, but not so hot and humid.

WTF Fun Fact 12981 – Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco is Camp Crystal Lake
Are you a fan of 80s slasher films or Gen X nostalgia in general? Then you might want to visit the Kittatinny Mountain region in northwestern New Jersey. There, you’ll find a Boy Scout camp called Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco. It was the setting for the iconic horror film Friday the 13th.
Just make sure you don’t go in the summer because they really don’t like it when people bring up getting murdered in the…

The ridge was cool to watch. It turned rosy red in first light, then orange and then as the sun rose into clouds the shadow moved down the slope.

In cooperation with the Pennsylvania chapter of The Nature Conservancy, Tröegs Independent Brewing releases Trail Day to benefit the Kittatinny Ridge.
Press Release
HERSHEY, PA – Tröegs Independent Brewing once again partners with the Pennsylvania chapter of The Nature Conservancy to announce the release of Trail Day, a limited beer benefitting Pennsylvania’s Kittatinny Ridge, an ecologically important 185-mile chain of forested Appalachian mountains that runs through Pennsylvania.
This dry-hopped pilsner begins with a backbone of German pilsner malt. Dry-hopping with Saaz hops lends mild citrus and earthy notes. As fermentation slows, we reintroduce fresh lager yeast, conditioning the beer and delivering crisp and clean notes of biscuit, dried spice and a hint of citrus.
“We grew up in the shadow of the Kittatinny Ridge and it passes within 10 miles of the brewery,” says Tröegs founding brother Chris Trogner, “so we know this land well. And few things are more important to brewing beer than clean water. We’re proud to be working with The Nature Conservancy to help protect a place that does so much for Pennsylvania and beyond.”
A portion of proceeds from the sales of Trail Day will benefit the Tröegs Trail Day Fund to help protect 15,000 acres of the most critical, connected lands on and next to the ridge – from the Mason-Dixon Line into New York state through the Delaware Water Gap.
Trail Day is available in 16-ounce cans throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Washington, D.C., and in parts of New York.
You can visit the Tröegs blog to learn more about Trail Day and how this beer helps protect the Kittatinny Ridge.
