Redbank Creek
My friend, Frank Maus, and I have for a number f years hiked after the flintlock season. We have traveled to various places to accomplish our annual kid-winter walk. Today, I suggested we hike the Redbank valley Trail. This trail runs parallel to Redbank Creek in southern Clarion County, Pennsylvania.
Leatherwood Creek
The hike didn’t feature a lot of wildlife this time. We saw, and heard, a raven, and crows. We saw some various small bird life. I saw one squirrel in the distance. We searched for an eagle nest, but apparently, we missed the exact location of this majestic bird.
Milkweed
We traveled past the communities of Climax, and St. Charles in Armstrong County . The latter once yielded a brick works type of work for many years. Today, the site is covered with falling down buildings and debris.

Leatherwood Creek flows past the brick works into Redbank Creek. I had hooked a Northern Pike near here sometime ago. I caught the fish on a light weight trout fishing rod. The fish won!
Beaver activity.
With the hike completed we traveled back roads to see the sites.
