We hope so.  We have a great weekend all planned for you.

You will get up early enough to join Allen from Seven Mountains Audubon for a morning nature walk near T&D’s Cats of the World.  After your walk, enjoy lunch nearby and visit T&D’s Cats of the World in the afternoon.
Arrive at Appalachia Spring Ranch at 5:00 pm on Saturday and join them for a campfire meal and good time.

That evening you will sleep in their bunkhouse or base camp tents and enjoy the stars of the wide open evening skies. After breakfast on Sunday morning, saddle up and go for a trail ride.  Recharge with lunch at one of our local restaurants and  join Canoe Susquehanna at
