Climb number 35. Lackawanna County. Moosic Mountain. We had a nice level hike to the high point. I was joined by Marc Lewis and his dog Sylva. The game lands here have been prescribed burned. It was difficult to find a tall tree, so I settled on a Red Maple that got me high enough to see over top of all of the scrub brush. My view was most impressive to the south. We saw some Black Spruce trees on the ridge top. These trees are remnants of the forest that moved in after glaciers receded. Today they are only found in parts of Pennsylvania that resemble the cold conditions found after the last period of glacial expanse.

Mountains off to East NE = Catskills. Nice video - In addition the black pine or pitch pine is native up there . Beautiful spot! V- video doesn't do view justice
