RidgeRacer Posted April 10, 2021 Report Posted April 10, 2021 Visited Pine Hill Vista today...at 2300 feet it's the highest point in the Poconos. You can see everything from Jackson Frost and Blue to the South to Elk Mountain to the north. Just a cool 360 view. Hard to do the view justice with a phone cam 7 Quote

Great for stargazing and I've camped there a few times 2 Quote
Kyle Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) How my dad started vs how it ended. 9 hour delay from Tampa due to the incoming flight being diverted to Miami and then subsequently getting stuck there. 12pm departure turned into a 9:20 departure after fueling Edited April 12, 2021 by Kyle Quote

Don’t think I’ve ever been Quote
RidgeRacer Posted April 14, 2021 Report Posted April 14, 2021 Where is this? Don’t think I’ve ever been Pinchot state forest, near Wilkes Barre. http://quintessentialpa.blogspot.com/2019/05/pine-hill-vista.html 3 Quote
Schif Posted April 14, 2021 Report Posted April 14, 2021 If you go to the pine hill vista there are a series of gates along the road. For the most part they are open and way back in the day you were able to drive all the way to the the top more often than not. The very last gate which has been closed the last few times I've been there has some large boulders along the side of it. I have a feeling that they were placed there due to the tracks I left and a (few broken small trees) by driving my jeep around the gate when I was in college. Went back about 3 weeks after that and the gate was locked again and the rocks were on the sides Quote

Pine Hill is next to the camping area. There is a Deer hunting section in Pinchot state forest separate from that area however. 1 Quote
Popular Post toast21602 Posted April 16, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted April 16, 2021 Forgot to post this on Monday night since I got drunk from celebrating, but I finally finished my PhD at Widener University and hope to never take a class ever again. As difficult and time consuming as it was, I really enjoyed it and would 100% do it over again if I had to go back in time. Even though it is already official, the "official" ceremony won't be until May when I get to wear the fancy doctoral regalia. Looking forward to celebrating with @AtomicSkier Sunday morning with a Truly enjoyable gravel ride if anybody is interested. Hopefully this doesn't mean the end of my student discounts and now that I don't have my school commitment as an excuse, I'll have to find something else to use to get out of things that I don't want to do 😂 Also, this does not mean that you have to call me Dr. Toast. 12 5 1 Quote

It is when you get another 7" so far today and it's still snowing. It's be worth the extra time driving this weekend! There was 6" on the ground when I got back from Stowe around 4 today and another 1-2" fell since then. 5 Quote

Yeah everything was done using Zoom unfortunately. Luckily they are having a small in-person commencement which will make it all seem a little more real. 1 Quote
Kyle Posted April 17, 2021 Report Posted April 17, 2021 Nice morning for concrete work. (Yes I know it’s very wet) 4 Quote
Kyle Posted April 18, 2021 Report Posted April 18, 2021 Concrete set nicely. I’ll hopefully finish up the wall and installing the pavers on top of the concrete next weekend. Wayyy overshot on the concrete calculations though, guess it’s better to have a few extra bags vs not having enough. 5 Quote
Kyle Posted April 21, 2021 Report Posted April 21, 2021 Walkway is just about finished up, just need to continue building the outer retaining wall and then add the garden area between the wall and walkway, the rain this week is going to delay that a bit however. 3 Quote
toast21602 Posted April 21, 2021 Report Posted April 21, 2021 @Kyle is that your new house? Looks like a great drinking porch. I'm interested in the grass, though. Quote
