On Thursday we headed out on family adventure. It was a cloudy rainy day But we started by heading to the elk visitor center in hopes to see some elk. No luck on the live elk that visit but did see some great elk antlers and full mount, They had a ton of information and furs for hands on with animals of Pa. I also learned Pa is in the process of re- introducing ruffed grouse. All the animals were all donated by trappers or hunters far as furs and some of animals mounted. The food plots were empty but a great visit. Next we drove through the Pa wilds to Kinzua sky walk which is what is what is left from the original Kinzua aqueduct duck that connected Pittsburgh to Erie. New York then Canada. It was ripped apart in 2002 from a F1 tornado. It is 287 ft above the gorge below. Then we headed to Cabin we rented in Potter County Pa. Day 2 had us hiking in a few of the many state parks and forest in area. We hiked around a beaver pond in hopes of sewing the beaver but no luck but we did see small snake and eastern newt. That night we scheduled to do star gazing with and astronomer to see the stars constellation s and Milky Way. Great experience as listened to the coyote's yip and bark and watched stars. Day 3 got up to drive back through Pa wilds. As we drove I saw this elk walking across field. Looks to be a 6x6 with a color on as pa tracks some movements of the bulls and cows of heard. We headed to Cooks forest to see the fire tower and clarion river. We had a great family time and great time in the wilds. We saw couple foxes, deer, one elk and small snapping turtle along with the newt and snake. The smell of the woods was awesome. One week and counting till archery opening!
