Strange PA - July 13
Cats: Strange Pennsylvania|
We’re now south of Easton and north of New Hope, PA in a 7-acre boulder field called Ringing Rocks Park. This natural wonder lives in Bucks County, is open 365 days a year, and is free for all to enjoy.
This has got to be the only park on the face of the earth where everyone walks in with a hammer in their hand. We also saw one guy with a 9-iron and another with a chrome trailer hitch. The “bring your own tools” thing allows you to take a whack at the boulders and try and get them to ring. You can also pick up a piece of rock and use that too. If you do it just right it actually sounds like you’re clanging metal pipes. Weird? Sort of. Strange? You bet!
Hammer Time! We’ll post actual video of giant boulders ringing on our next installment! -Dave H.

Nice meeting you at Ringing Rocks–a very cool place right in my backyard that I never even knew about until last Friday. Looking forward to seeing the show when it airs. (It’s okay if you edit us out.) –Lynn

Thanks for your help Lynn (& Bryan too) while we were navigating those boulders. We begin the edit in a few weeks and folks like you helped make the Ringing Rocks story one of the best in the show. - Dave H

Great to meet you at Ringing Rocks! My son was the 6 foot tall jumper who was on his way to Boy Scout camp. I’m so glad we ran into you because I did not know about your show. Now I’m hooked.

Thanks for the kind words Madeline. From what I remember from the shoot that day, your son definitely earned his rock-jumping badge. Are you from the Pittsburgh area?
