    Chester County has lots of hunters / firearm enthusiasts. Its always been noisy around here every year this time (esp. during hunting season) since as long as I can remember. There used to be lots of pheasant & deer hunting back in the early to late 1970's before developers came in and bought out large farms and parcels of land where the cornfields and hedgerows were. Much quieter now, but not as aesthetically pleasing as it was back then (imo)

    I would wear some orange this time of year, even if it’s just a hat.

    I've noticed you have avoided Chester County's high point. I found the high point on the map and saw the quarry and was wondering if it was not accessible. You answered my question!

    You were 10 minutes from. MY house!!! In one the fields off of laurel lane (maybe 20 minute walk) there is an old foundation to a house of some sort. I hunted sgl043 for years and never found it until last hunting season. Also a quarry/mine by it as well. They also were doing alot to work to the tower last year. It now towers over the trees and can be seen from hopewell rd and cold run rd. It's nice to see videos of my area......btw......the field by the tower has what I call the "body dump" the GW throws deer carcasses in it. You'll know when your near it in the summer.

    A very nice hike. There are shooting ranges near us and the down the hill, the neighbors there often shoot on Sunday afternoons. Other than that, our woods is wonderfully quiet. Thanks for sharing!

    This was a nice winter hike. Enjoyed the scenery and always enjoy your videos. I did worry about you with the firing range out there. Worry about stray bullets, but you were confident in where you were going!
    Look forward to the next adventure.

    Sounds like Freedom. It's one of the main reasons that we shooters would like suppressors to be more accessible (legal and affordable). We hike, camp and shoot but don't like disturbing others that may be near . Thx. for the video Cliff.

    Gun fire is considered nominal background noise in Chester county. The wild life is neither disturbed nor surprised by it and mostly responsible for it!

    I would say 965 feet is close enough. That rocky slope looks like a potential ankle breaker.

    Tough hike with snow and rocks. Do you ever use a hiking stick?? Would you consider doing a video on planning for a hike? You know talking about it equipment, where you get your ideas for the various hikes, hiking groups Etc?

    Hi Cliff, a real shame about all the noisy activity at the gun range but I guess it is what it is. Have you noticed just how many natural hiking area's are close to gun ranges ??, I don't know why they can't put the ranges closer to towns/cities as the noise would just get drowned out by all the traffic noise etc. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖

    Hey Cliff, as always, enjoy your videos! Just curious, I'm in Philadelphia County, looks like you had it in green on your map, what was the highest point here? The 2nd Comcast Tower? Just kidding lol! To me, it looks like a big pack of cigarettes, with the lighted spiral looking like a cigarette coming out of it!
    You made me smile with your comments about the shooting ☺ range, "I don't want to complain too much!" That's okay! There is a VFW post in back of my house a few blocks away where they also have a shooting range, sometimes hear it at 4am! Like you, I also try not to complain too much !! Stay safe!!
