New Hostel in Southern PA

[birchy]

There is a new hostel at a private residence in Michaux State Forest. The hostel is just south of the half way point and is located between the Birch Run Shelter and Toms Run Shelter at the Shippensburg Road Trailhead. The hostel is really easy to find. From the Shippensburg Rd trailhead go trail East about 800 feet down the road to a dirt driveway and turn right. walk back the driveway to the 5th house on the left. You can call the hostel at 717- 352-4686 or E-mail at Highmtnhaven@gmail.com

Being that there is Alcohol permitted I'll be sure not to stop there.
Where there is Alcohol there is trouble and fights.
Thanks for posting.
