December 2004 Outings

Sunday, December 5 — Lake Arthur

im Valimont (412-828-5338) will lead the season’s final outing at Moraine State Park. Meet at 8:30 AM in the first parking lot on the right in the Day Use Area (South Shore). From I-79, take Route 422 east toward Butler and exit at the Moraine State Park exit. At the end of the ramp, turn left and go straight into the park until you see the first major parking area on your right, where we will meet. Allow one hour driving from Pittsburgh. Those who wish can carpool at 7:30 AM at the park-and-ride lot at the intersection of Routes 19 and 228 (across from Denny’s) in Cranberry Township. Enter the lot from the service road accessible from the Burger King on Route 19. After the outing, we will probably go to Eppinger’s Restaurant for buckwheat pancakes, and possibly we will continue birding in the afternoon..
