KTA was hard at work on the Chuck Keiper Trail in Sproul State Forest, Clinton County this year. 24 hard-working volunteers contributed 508 hours while keeping this wild, rugged footpath open and enjoyable. We are grateful for these individuals for climbing in and out of steep hollows, hauling tools and equipment, and giving back to our public lands. KTA held two weekend-long events and three "CODE ORANGE" one-day events which generally turned into two-day events. In total, 1300 feet of trail tread was improved or stabilized, 22.25 miles was cleared of brush and downed trees, and eight trail signs were hung at road crossings. Crews tackled the remaining areas of mountain laurel that had become extremely overgrown. A large portion of trail that had been decimated by storm damage was also re-opened. The hours of work don't illustrate the camaraderie, campfires, good food, wildlife sightings, and many laughs shared by our volunteers. There's always more to be done and we look forward to making new memories on the Chuck Keiper. In addition to KTA Trail Care events, the PA Outdoor Corps Williamsport Crew also dedicated a month to re-digging the sidehill along the eastern side of Boggs Hollow. And of course, we all owe a debt of gratitude to Angela Poleto, Sproul State Forest Recreation Forester, who has been so passionate about maintaining trails in Sproul State Forest. Thank you to all who have contributed to the Chuck Keiper Trail! - Al Germann -- Regional Trail Care Coordinator - PA Wilds Dear Hiker,

Simon lives in the Phoenix, AZ area and Victoria who lives in McEwensville, PA. My firsthand experience with a tick-borne microscopic parasite called Babesia, which causes the disease Babesiosis, is not meant to deter people from enjoying the great outdoors and hiking our favorite trails and areas, but to educate them. I was familiar with Lyme disease, but I had never heard of this specific condition. It's rare, with fewer than 3,000 cases throughout the United States each year.
Having returned from a Scouting trip, I had unbeknownst to me been bitten by a deer tick a couple of weeks prior to the trip. Upon my return on August 8, I came down with severe flu-like symptoms of severe headaches, fever, shaking chills, nausea, constipation, and dehydration. Over the following weekend, I experienced intermittent flu-like symptoms and thought I was improving. By Monday, August 11, I knew this was no ordinary flu, so I visited my family doctor, who referred me to the hospital. After a release from the hospital ER and a day later, fainting and collapsing, I had a trip back to the hospital by ambulance. This time, many more tests. After numerous tests, the infectious disease doctor diagnosed it as babesiosis, a tick-borne microscopic parasite that consumes red blood cell platelets from the inside out. The normal range of platelets is 149,000 to 390,000 platelets per microliter. When I came into the hospital, I had 22,000. Hiking was the furthest thing from my mind. I needed a walker to "hike" the ten feet from my bed to the bathroom and back. I was hospitalized for eight days with application of three different antibiotics and a roller coaster of many fevers, followed by a long period of my body building up the platelet count to restore energy. Thankfully, my health is being restored, and I have done some short hikes on the AT and around the house. I encourage you to check yourself for ticks and tick bites after every hike or outdoor adventure. Apply tick repellent as needed. I do all these things, but still contracted the parasite. Be aware of the symptoms and speak to your doctor if you believe you contracted babesia, so your medical care team can immediately start treatment with antibiotics. Safe hiking out there. And thanks to all the well-wishes and prayers from all who knew. Wayne President, Board of Directors Keystone Trails Association The KTA Awards Committee seeks nominations for five awards that recognize outstanding individuals and clubs. The awards will be presented at the KTA Pennsylvania Hiking Awards Celebration on December 6 at the Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art in Millersburg, PA.
The KTA Citation Award for Lifetime Achievement is presented to a person who has, over a period of years (not necessarily their entire lifetime), made significant contributions to the preservation of hiking trails and promoting hiking in Pennsylvania. Service may be in the form of volunteer efforts, publications, fieldwork, or any other pursuit that has furthered the mission of the KTA. This is KTA’s highest honor. The Thyra Sperry Volunteer of the Year Award goes to a KTA member whose recent service to KTA's mission, especially in the preceding year, is most worthy of recognition. It is named in honor of former KTA president Thyra Sperry (d. 2017) and her devoted service to KTA. Certificates of Achievement are awarded to individuals for extraordinary work on projects that benefit hikers and/or trails in Pennsylvania. Nominations are made by KTA member organizations and allow clubs to nominate a volunteer who may not be an individual KTA member. The nomination should be based on recent service, especially in the past year, which serves the hiking public as a whole rather than primarily the members of the member club. The Leave No Trace Award recognizes a KTA member or volunteer who has superbly integrated Leave No Trace into their trail and hiking activities and excelled at teaching others about the outdoor ethics of Leave No Trace. Individuals to be considered for this award will have: taken a Leave No Trace workshop to understand better what embodies Leave No Trace; built Leave No Trace practices into their trail and hiking activities (examples include discussing how a group will follow the Seven Principles on a group hike or Trail Care event, planning a social event with zero single use plastic as part of the objective, or including Leave No Trace messaging when posting online); left public spaces better than they found them by picking up trash during hikes and outdoor activities; and taught others what they know about Leave No Trace in formal or informal settings. The KTA Club of the Year Award honors a club for excelling in one or more of the following areas during the previous 12-18 months.
For the individual awards, the nomination should include the name of the nominee, the approximate length of the person’s service to KTA's mission, and a brief description of the individual’s contributions. Send all nominations to Barbara Wiemann, Awards Committee chair, at [email protected] by November 1, 2025. Dear Member,

Please read Brook's message about his retirement. We want to thank Brook for his efforts over the last four years as Executive Director for KTA. Having worked closely with him over the last several years, I want to let everyone know that KTA and furthering KTA's mission have been at the forefront of Brook's efforts. His attention to detail, grant writing, and development of our staff have been a great benefit for KTA. We wish him well in his retirement. He said he is not disappearing and will be volunteering. The Board will begin a search for the next Executive Director to fill the large boots left by Brook. We will rely on our membership and stakeholders to help spread the word once the search commences. On behalf of the Board and the membership, I want to thank our Executive Director, Brook, and all our staff for the excellent job they are doing to further our mission. For the trails and those who wander on them! See you on the Trail! Thanks, Wayne E. Gross President, Board of Directors Keystone Trails Association The Statewide voice of Pennsylvania Hikers Well, it’s finally happened. The ban on Sunday hunting has been repealed in Pennsylvania. I’m going to explain how we got here and how it is likely to affect those of us who like to hike in Penns Woods. Spoiler Alert: It will mean some changes for us, but it does not mean that the apocalypse has arrived.
How did we get here? For decades, hunters have been lobbying to remove the state’s ban on Sunday hunting. KTA has been opposed to this. Another important constituency that has traditionally been against hunting on Sunday are the state farming organizations. This ban was part of the so-called “blue laws” that traditionally restricted activities like the sale of alcohol, sale of new and used cars and hunting. In PA and most other states the blue laws have gradually been repealed or relaxed. Before the repeal of Sunday hunting here, there were only three states with bans on Sunday hunting. Now only Massachusetts and Maine remain. Many political observers believe that the key to the repeal in PA was getting the farmers on board. The hunters were able to do this by adding provisions to the repeal that give private landowners more rights to restrict hunting on their land and imposed harsher penalties for violations. The ban came about in a two-step process. In 2019 the Legislature opened up hunting on three Sundays during specific hunting seasons. From 2020 through 2024 this limited calendar was in effect. Meanwhile, hunting organizations continued to lobby for total removal of the ban. This year, House Bill 1431 was introduced. It passed both Houses and was signed by Gov. Shapiro as Act 36 of 2025. When Will There Be Sunday Hunting in PA? The new law does not immediately open every Sunday to hunting. What it does is enable the Pennsylvania Game Commission to designate certain Sundays as open for hunting. The PGC recently announced which Sundays will be open for hunting in 2025. They are Sept. 14, Sept. 21, Sept. 28, Oct. 5, Oct. 12, Oct. 19, Oct. 26, Nov. 2, Nov. 9, Nov. 16, Nov. 23, Nov. 30, and Dec. 7. For 2025, these Sundays were added to the game seasons that had already been set by the PGC. It is expected that in 2026 and beyond the PGC will set the game seasons in a unified manner including Sundays. How Is Sunday Hunting Likely To Affect Hiking In Pennsylvania? I want to be clear that this portion of this article is one hiker’s informed opinion and speculation. You are welcome to consider this and form your own opinions. First, it is ALWAYS a good idea to know what game is in season and by what means it can be hunted before you go into the woods. This has always been the case. The main difference is that it used to be if you went out on a Sunday you were pretty sure that MOST game was not in season. I say most because some game has always been available to hunt on Sundays, such as coyotes all year round and crows and foxes much of the year. One way to know what’s in season is to get the PGC’s printed booklet of game seasons or check on the PGC’s website. But, in this age of smartphones, there is a MUCH easier way. Simply use your Apple or Android phone and download the PGC’s app. Then you can use the app, choose a date and it will tell you exactly which game is in season and by which means. For those not familiar with hunting, this means regular firearms (rifle, shotgun, etc.), archery and primitive weapons like muzzleloader and flintlock. In my opinion every hiker in PA should have this app on their smartphone. Next you will need to make an assessment of which concerns you or your hiking party has with hiking while hunting is going on. I am going to propose a hierarchy based on my perception of the danger and other concerns. Many hikers, including me, have some qualms about hiking in the woods while hunters are going after the most popular game using long rifles whose bullets can travel a long way. The two most popular seasons like this are rifle deer season and rifle bear season. During 2025, rifle deer season will be Nov. 29 through Dec. 13, including Sunday, Nov. 30. Rifle bear season will be Nov 22 through 25, including Sunday, Nov. 23. I will personally not be hiking in any State Game Land on these days or in any other area where there is likely to be deer or bear hunting. If you are concerned not just about possible danger, but also about loud noises, consider avoiding seasons where flintlocks or muzzleloaders are allowed, plus small game season (meaning squirrel, grouse, pheasant, turkey, etc.) where shotguns are typically used. Why is the danger much less during these seasons? The range of a flintlock, muzzleloader or shotgun is only 100 to 200 yards, far less than a long rifle. If you also have qualms about any type of hunting, regardless of danger or noise, consider adding archery season to the list of seasons to avoid. Let me leave you with a few closing thoughts. First, unless you are 100 percent certain that no hunting of any kind is permitted where you want to hike, always wear some blaze orange while hiking. Remember, something is always in season. This has always been the case. Second, please have some respect for those who choose to hunt. Most hunters are environmentalists too, and you have a vested interest in the continued viability of hunting. Why is that? Many of our best hiking trails are on State Game Lands, in whole or in part. That includes the very popular Appalachian Trail. Hunters allow you to hike on lands that were primarily set aside for their enjoyment. If you happen upon a hunter in the woods, ask her or him if they’ve had any luck. Who knows, maybe one of them will give you some venison steak. Trust me, it’s really good. So, here is my message to my fellow hikers and other non-hunter lovers of the outdoors. Don’t hide inside on Sundays. Get a blaze orange hat and vest and keep on enjoying the outdoors. - Jim Foster is a retired attorney who thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail several years ago. He is a life member and active maintainer with Appalachian Trail Conservancy, Keystone Trails Association, Cumberland Valley Appalachian Trail Club and several other trails organizations. He lives with his wife in suburban Harrisburg. Dear Trail Enthusiast,
June is Bustin' Out All Over again! It's summer, get out for a hike, bring a friend, and invite a family! It was a couple of days after college graduation in May 40 years ago, I found myself loaded with a backpack and hiking up the approach trail to Springer Mountain to begin a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail. But how did I end up there? It was from being introduced to the AT while a youth. It was a Scout Troop leader who would take us Scouts on weekend hikes and week-long 50-mile backpack trips on the Appalachian Trail. It was an elderly lady at my church, a member of ATC, who would bring her copy of Trailway News that she had read, marked, and footnoted articles for me to read, inspiring a young person to dream. Why do I bring this up? It's because we each have a role in mentoring young people and the next generation of hikers to lace up their boots, pick up their pack, Pulaski, and tools to hike a trail, make memories, and give back through trail care, donations, or volunteering their special skill sets. If you enjoy hiking, you may want to share the experience with others and work to preserve it for those you may never meet, who can walk a trail you helped maintain. Congratulations to our eleven club recipients of the KTA Grants to Clubs who are making a difference in preserving our trail experiences. There are so many outstanding things happening in our local trail clubs. Grant funds, part of the annual interest distribution from our endowment fund, are making a real "feet on the ground" impact on trails throughout Pennsylvania. Our KTA Trail Care program for 2025 is in full swing. Plan to participate in one or more of the remaining trail maintenance events that Jenn Ulmer and the Trail Care Committee have lined up for us, and invite a friend. Check out our website for details. KTA Trail Care is using Panther Run Cabin in Sproul State Forest as a base for our trail maintenance events in the PA Wilds. Be sure to attend a Trail Care in that area to visit the cabin. The Scott Farm, located along the Appalachian Trail, will eventually become KTA's headquarters. KTA has been preparing the Scott Farm Trailhead Master Site Plan in collaboration with our consultants. We hope to have the master plan available soon. It's not too soon to start thinking about nominating members and clubs for our various service awards. They include Certificates of Achievement, Volunteer of the Year, Club of the Year, the new Leave No Trace Award, and the Citation Award for lifetime achievement. These will be presented at our KTA Hiking Awards Celebration. The celebration will occur on Saturday, December 6, at the beautiful Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art in Millersburg, PA. Please put his date on your calendar for a special day of celebration. Please see our website for a listing and description of these awards. The Awards Committee will be seeking nominations for these awards. Start considering members and clubs to nominate. We have some of the most outstanding volunteers in our hiking organizations. Please consider nominating someone or a club that you think is worthy of recognition. Be sure to log your miles to keep track of your miles for one of the several Hiking Awards. We have special awards for the Young Hiker Award and the Teen Hiker Award. A comprehensive list of KTA hikes, events, webinars, activities, and trail care opportunities is available. There is so much to do. Please visit our website and sign up for one or more, and bring a friend. Our KTA Fall Council meeting will be nestled among the many hikes and activities at the Keystone Hiking & Outdoor Weekend in the Pennsylvania Wilds on October 17-19. Please add these dates to your calendar and visit our website to register, allowing you to plan your attendance. On behalf of the Board and the membership, I want to thank Brook and all our staff for the excellent job they are doing to further our mission. For the trails and those who wander on them!
