Also,  Please take a look at this totally state-of-the-art iphone technology that the Appalachian Mountain Club has created. It will be demonstrated this Saturday morning at our press event on the Brandywine Creek just North of Downingtown on Route 282 (Creek Road) at Shady Acres Campground from 10:00 AM till Noon.
