Aspiring NORSA member, Jeremy Shull, proposed this day trip in lieu of the Kennedy Peak camping trip that he was unable to attend because co-founder Adam Domanski had to go back to college early and changed the trip dates. So, a crew of friends set out on a day hike on one of the many Gunpowder Falls trails.
The NORSA crew did everything from light bouldering to fly-fishing on the trip and plan to return sometime to do a more extensive trip perhaps with rock climbing, fishing, and camping. This a great state park located in Maryland off Route 83 near Baltimore. An excellent choice for anyone nearby.

 A snapshot of the dense forest of Gunpowder Falls. |
 A deer lies dead in the creek and freaks out passers-by. |
 Across the stream a tree has fallen prey to beavers. |
 A picture of the guys on top of rock outcropping. |
 Another photo of the men perched at the peak of a hill. |
 Yet another shot of the high rock projection with the guys. |
 Sorry, you have got to be sick of these pictures by now. |
 This is the last one of that damn rock, we swear. |
 Jer begins his climb to the top of a new and better rock. |
 Here he has gotten a little closer to the top of it. |
 Tom spots MonoMike as he begins his own ascent to the top. |
 MonoMike has made minimal upward progress by this picture. |
 Tom nimbly climbs his way up the rock face to his friends. |
 Then he poses for a picture while hanging on to the rocks. |
 The new kings of the mountain stand proud on a new perch. |
 MonoMike pushes Jer and Tom off the cliff and proclaims a new king. |
 Here, Jer has returned from the dead to replace MonoMike as king. |
Back to NORSA Main |  But Tom has been holding onto a ledge and claims the prestigious position for his own. |
