[at-l] Trail Conditions

[greyowl@rcn.com (greyowl@rcn.com)]

We have had plenty of rain in PA over the past couple of weeks and all of the stream are still flowing.  We expect thunderstorms tomorrow and rain Wednesday.  Unfortunately both the temperature and humidity are increasing.  For those of you who like hot, humid weather we have it in PA.

There are also reports of lots of ticks on the trail.  Last winter was very warn and it did little to kill back the ticks.  Lyme disease is a concern and with the hot weather and rain the number of mosquitos are increasing.  West Nile Virus has been found in the Lehigh Valley, though only in birds.  Wear some good insect repellant.

Happy hiking
