10X Time Lapse Hike at Moraine State Park (3/2017)

This is a slightly slowed down (10X) Timelapse taken from a longer 20X and higher time lapse. Only the hike at Moraine State Park is shown here with the last of the snow.

1-1-2018 First Day Hike on North Country Trail at Moraine State Park

This is the New Years Day Hike with the Butler Outdoor Club. This hike is a tradition that happens every year at 1PM (leaving from the Bike Rental Building). Just before the hike there is a picnic. I thought I would stay after the hike to do a little cross country skiing on the Ice of Lake Arthur, however the wind made it feel below zero, and my hands were starting to freeze. The last 2 minutes of this video show a 9X timelapse (very shaky) of my short cross country skiing trip on Lake Arthur.

Miller(Jacksonville) Esker Natural Area 23 thousand year old ridge and lake (Butler Co.PA) Geology

An Esker is formed by sub-glacial melt-water. Glacial melt-water carries large quantities of sand and gravel, as glaciers are known to scour and scrape rock and sediment and transport it as they creep across the land. Twenty-three thousand years ago there were glaciers in Northwestern Butler County. This area is located off of West Liberty Road, just East of interstate 79 and North of US 422, while South of Slippery Rock. The closest interstate exits would be I-79 Exit 99 (Portersville), or I-105 Slippery Rock. This video was filmed in the winter and it was neat to see ice on this lake that was formed by ice. The esker will appear as a sinuous ridge, approximately 40' (13 meters) high, and this section runs for approximately 2,000', which should be around 640 meters. The Esker is actually much longer, however parts of it have been mined, by local sand and gravel mining operations. The sand and gravel is used in construction materials, such as concrete and asphalt. This Esker is located near a terminal moraine, also called an end moraine, which is the limit of advance of a glacier. In this case, this would be the limit of the Southern advance of the Kent Glacier. The Park, just to the South is called Moraine State Park, because it straddles the line of maximum glacial advance. Areas that have been glaciated tend to be flatter and have more gently sloping hills, like much of the mid-western United States, while area that have not been glaciated tend to have landscapes that reflect shaping from water and mountain building. In Southwest Pennsylvania, there are many steep hills, however as you drive North on Interstate 79, around mile 100, the land becomes very flat, like most of Ohio. That is where the glaciers scraped away any hills that may have existed as a result of liquid water carving. Descending the opposite side of the esker (not visible from the road), one will notice a lake with an island. The lake feature is often called the eye of the esker. This is the best preserved (probably newest looking and large in size) esker in Pennsylvania. Other eskers exist. There is one in Mercer county that is far more advanced in age. As eskers age, (think of this esker in 10,000, 20,000 years, etc.) they tend to fill in along the edges through a process known as eutrophication. Decaying plant material falls into the lake, or blows in, and settles. Eventually the lake becomes shallower. The Lake will one day become a swamp, and then a bog. The video ends with me hiking back to my vehicle. If you make this hike, be careful there are lots of jagger bushes as we like to call them in Western Pennsylvania (watch out for thorns, briers, etc.). Also the access is limited to an area about 200' wide. On either side there are signs marked No Trespassing. Be careful to not wander off to far. A visit to this location took me about 20 minutes total. I would not plan an entire day around seeing the esker, but it is worth checking out if you are in the area and have not seen an esker before. This video is intended for hikers, and people interested in Geology, and if it is accurate perhaps it may be useful for those planning field trips or for instructional purposes. Finally, while I have a Bachelor of Science in Geology, and have done my best to fact check the information presented in this video, I do not hold a masters degree, a PHD, or a tenured position at any university. Where information provided in this video conflicts with information provided by someone with a MS degree, PHD, etc., defer to the smarter person. If you find something in the comments or have a suggestion that is reasonable to fix, I will do my best to correct it. Re-editing the video may take a while, but if it is full of errors, I will improve it. Mike Ciccone

Part 2/3
Music by Connor Sipe
A weak but nice looking supercell produced at least one tornado, which may have been anticyclonic. It was not recorded by the National Weather Service but would probably be rated EF0.

Season 2 Skins Hammond Hill.mp4

The long awaited footage for Season 2 Skins from Hammond Hill is finally here. We have some great shots of a good time with the usual suspects. This video was originally taken in March in Hastings, Michigan. Throughout all of the great shots of our two rounds there we have a mixture of triumphs and follies as well as one of our youngest golfers, PJ Jean learning his way through the course and becoming a better golfer.

Coming up next is the footage from Burchfield in Holt, MI and following that is the BW Trip to Pennsylvania.

Go to bwcreate.org for more information on the club or to buy custom dyed discs.
