Get to Rattling Creek if you want to experience the roar of the 17 year locust. Did the Epic Loop with Renee this weekend. As soon as we opened the door in the parking area, we heard the flying critters. Their holes were everywhere along the trail and the trees were covered with the dry shed skins. I have been so lucky to experience these strange creatures 3 times. First, at Shickshinny, Pa. while climbing in an old strip mine, then again on South Mt Lehigh while Mt biking and now again just south of Lykens, Pa. Just 1.5 hours from Allentown, don't miss the ride or the locust!
