It was cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey when I left home this morning. The temperature registered 17 fahrenheit or -8.3 centigrade for all you Celsius types. I picked up Morris and went for breakfast at the Filling Station in Palmyra. A very nice Bacon Omelette with a side of Sausage went down very well. After a quick side trip up to 2nd Mountain we left for Goldmine Road and Sharps Mountain. Boxcar Rocks is a Rocky Outcrop on the South side of Sharps Mountain. Not too far from the road, probably 1/3 mile uphill if that. I hope you can get a good impression of the height of the rocks from the pictures. I certainly wouldn't want to fall from the top. Lots of ferns between the rocks and lichen covering them. On the way back a short drive round Memorial Lake in Ft. Indian town Gap was nice, the lake is partially frozen already.
