Rift Pond

I would like to thank Chip for a great idea and day. We combined a biking, hiking and fishing into the same trip. I met Chip at his house at 5:30 am and loaded our gear into Chips new F150 4X4. We picked Jack up in Eddington and continued onto Rift Pond in Great Pond Township. Once there the rest of the trip would be made on our mountain bikes as the road is gated off to prevent motorized vehicles. I opted for the trailer method while Jack and Chip used backpacks to ferry the gear. While I was able to carry more gear and supplies like the beer and food I did find it difficult on the loose gravel and flipped my cart completely over once. Ok the fishing sucked if you where only interested in results. Luckily I have never been one for results so it’s all about how we got there and the fun we had trying. The day was absolutely beautiful and the scenery was wonderful. Chip spent some time scouting for the perfect spot for a tree stand for this falls deer hunt- never to early to begin planning. Jack and I took a walk down the outflow towards Kings Pond, fishing some of the deeper pools along the way. All in all a trip I would do again.
