I went out looking for wildflowers and wildlife a few days ago, but it was a bit early in the season. One Canado Goose and some Cabbage Whites, that was about all. But I did take a few minutes to look at a portion of the old Schuylkill Canal at what is currently the north end of the walking trail from downtown Hamburg. In a few years the scattered pieces of the trail which mostly follows the old towpath of the canal will be linked up all the way from Philadelphia to Pottsville.
