July 26 and 27

Are you ready for a weekend of “Wild Adventure in the Valley”?  We hope so.  We have a great weekend planned for you.  T&D’s Cats of the World, Canoe Susquehanna, Appalachia Spring Ranch, and Seven Mountains Audubon will provide a well rounded “wild adventure” for you. 

Spend the whole weekend!  If you would like to EXPERIENCE IT ALL, and we know you do, arrive in the Susquehanna Valley and spend Friday evening at the Selinsgrove Inn, Comfort Inn, Econo Lodge, or Buckwheat Valley Guesthouse and mention T&D’s Cats of the World when booking and receive 10% off your stay.  You will get up early enough to join Allen from Seven Mountains Audubon for a morning nature walk near T&D’s Cats of the World.  After your walk, enjoy lunch nearby and visit T&D’s Cats of the World in the afternoon. Arrive at Appalachia Spring Ranch at 5:00 pm on Saturday and join them for a campfire meal and good time.  That evening you will sleep in their bunkhouse or base camp tents and enjoy the stars of the wide open evening skies. After breakfast on Sunday morning, saddle up and go for a trail ride.  Recharge with lunch at one of our local restaurants and join Canoe Susquehanna at 2:00pm for a kayak adventure on the Susquehanna River.  You will be surprised by the great vacation you can have so close to home!
