Road Trip!

Caledonia State Park lies about 5 miles west of Gettysburg, PA in the town of Fayetteville, at the crossroads of US 30 and PA 233.

Boasting over 1,125 acres, Caledonia is in the northernmost section of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The park was named after Thaddeus Stevens' charcoal iron furnace, named Caledonia. Operation began in 1837 and ran until 1863, when the confederate army destroyed the furnace.

With over 10 hiking trails (including 1.8 miles of the Appalachian Trail), fishing, swimming, hunting, and picnic areas, there is something for everyone and every mood.

Almost Done

Well, first I hurt my leg, now I'm moving. Sorry for the lack of posts over this last month, all should be back to normal in another week. Thanks to L&O, the best hiking partner ever, for putting up with me. Once I'm back, I'll have a lot to say! Oh, the places I have been! See ya in about a week!
