Duncannon Overlook PA


Duncannon Overlook in Pennsylvania.  I think it is located in Duncannon, but I am not sure. :-)

If you make this hike, make a loop and you will also end up at the Hawk Rock Vista, both together are a 2 mile round trip hike.  If you have not read Hawk Rock page, start there and head back to here.

From the Hawk Rock Vista we headed towards the river across the top of the mountain.  You will start heading down the "end" of the mountain ridge and there will be a place on the right of the trail to walk out on a rock to overlook the river and Duncannon.

This is a shorter hike and the only reason it is listed as medium is because from here on down the trail is narrow (one person wide) and at times rocky and some what steep.  When hiking with 9 kids (14 to 1 year old) the trail could be dangerous if they went off the down side of the trail.  However, all the kids took their time, understood they need to watch what they are doing and stayed on the trail.


Now onto what started our hikes and what most people probably miss about this overlook/vista.  There is a reason I included the zoomed out trail picture.  Before you read on, STOP reading and look at it!


Did you notice anything?  A "mustard seed" comes to my mind because there is evidence of the paleo (so ancient that we do NOT understand basically anything as to how they lived) world!  Heck the evidence even shows through the water!  I tell you me, it has nothing to do with the pyramids on EVERY SINGLE continent AND even under water, nope!  There is nothing to see here folks, move along!
Getting back to the Hawk Rock Parking Area: Continue down the mountain, you will come to a trail that heads to the Duncannon Parking Area if you go right, so go left.  Your next intersection will be the first Y (on the left) when you were heading up to Hawk Rock, so go right.
YAY, you made it and saw evidence of the paleo (so old we do not understand) world!!!!!!!!!!!

Trending; My 3 year stint with the keto diet, a review

Image
Now before I begin to be demonized and sent a bunch of hate email , I’m NOT a doctor. Nor did I do the keto WOE (way of eating) under the care of a health practitioner. *I take full responsibility of my own health therefor I do my own due diligence, research and experiments; performed on me, by me. With this said this is my story, not yours. Please take anything I say as just that, my personal experience and opinions. And sorry I'm not siting any scientific reports for this article.  I'm keeping it personal.   I'm JUST a mom! Whew, now that we have all that squared away, let’s begin, shall we? (Note; For those just skimming, or have limited time, the condensed review is at the bottom.) The story: I began the keto WOE back in June of 2013 and I was 7 months postpartum at the time. However I continued this WOE through 2 pregnancies, exclusive breastfeeding and beyond. (ie. Intense workouts, heavy weight lifting, hiking, and more.) For my body, this mean...

Reinforcements; Plant Allies!

Many of us are either sick or experiencing a loved one's sickness.  Either way the pain of illness is close. Smoke Signals is a place to share information that encourages one another.  We believe that we have been given everything we need to live and abundant life.  This is our mantra because we want it to sink in. It's true! We advocate WILD EDIBLES on our side bar, to the left, for many reasons. 1.) FREE medicine! It's wise & true that every seed bearing plant has been given to us for fruit and it's leaf for medicine. "Let thy food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." "Eat the rainbow" 2.) It's more than just a medicine or a food.  It's a holistic way of living. It's a symbiotic relationship. It's synergy!  We were created to consume these plants just as they were created for us to consume. It goes in a harmonious cycle. We give off carbon dioxide, they give off oxygen. They adapt to the ever ch...

Shampoo, no-poo, or co-washing?!?

Shampoo, no-poo, or co-washing?!? What does all this mean and what is the best natural hair care method? Do we really need shampoo? What about just using conditioner? All those plastic bottles not only contribute to the waste epidemic but what about all the money wrapped up in this one simple daily practice? Do you think I can write this entire post in questions? My opinion ( which has not been evaluated by the food and drug administration, I assure you ) is this; Shampoo as infrequently as possible. -No I'm not kidding.- Even the mildest shampoo strips oils, that's what it is formulated to do. Therefore one who has dry hair, doesn't need more drying. And if you tend toward oily hair, frequent shampooing creates a cycle in which the scalp increases production of oils (Sebaceous glands secrete an oily or waxy matter, called sebum.) in response to every washing away of it. Subsequently this leads you to believe that you should be washing y...
