The state of Wyoming owes its name to Pennsylvania derived from the Wyoming Valley. Today I climbed to the highest point in Wyoming county with my friend, Marc Lewis, and his dog Silva. There are actually two locations tied for highest elevation in this county. The location at the northern end of the county is on top of Bartlett Mountain. The location we decided to climb was on the southern border with Luzerne and Sullivan Counties, very close to Ricketts Glen State Park. Mark brought his cross country skis. Mark skied and I hiked through 9 inches of fresh snow on game lands number 57. We reached the boundary between Luzerne and Wyoming counties and picked a large black cherry tree for me to climb. From up in the tree, I could tell there would be quite a view to the north, except that it was still snowing. This was climb number 32 for me, and I am thankful my friend Marc and his dog Silva were able to join me for the adventure. Watching Marc cross country ski reminded me how lucky we are here in Pennsylvania to have game lands for multiple forms of outdoor recreation. The game commission, who manages these lands, is mostly funded by the sale of hunting licenses but these lands are then shared with all Pennsylvanians to be enjoyed for hiking, biking, skiing and more. Thank you hunters!
Highpointing using trees has to be one of the coolest things I've never heard of
thanks man! It's a whole different perspective up in that canopy....especially when the wind is blowing.
Shame on me you were in Canton and I wasn't aware of the event. I had better do my homework from now on.🍒🌿
Sorry I couldn’t make it out
Maybe I missed it but I did not hear you mention what the elevation was and I would think that's kind of important . Thanks for the video
I always list that in the video description. In this case Elev 2379’
