Whoo Haa!! NIIICE PA Trail!!

[JDraper]

Found a real nice trail climb in Central PA today!! Went to a powerline about 25 miles from my house, and it's a FINE climb. Definintely 4lo territory. It's about a 500-750' altitude change over about 1.5 miles (several flats in the middle). I've got 2" lift and 31's and I still could have used 2-4" more lift in a couple of spots. Whacked the hitch a couple of times going through gullies. We turned around about half way up, since my daughter was getting a little nervous. From the map, it looks like you can go over the top and down the other side too!! I plan on taking the PennEx group there next Saturday for a run. I'll post a couple of pix once wal-mart gets them back. (Man, I gotta get a digital!!)

Hey Ed, we're going out this weekend if you are interested in joining us. I'm about an hour north of Harrisburg. Send me an e-mail if you are, and I'll get you info.

Once you guys get back from summer vacation (bums!!) we can hook up for some fun. As Ed said, maybe the blackwoods.

Well, here's a couple of pix of the trail. It was raining pretty good at the time, so my wife decided to stay in the truck to take the pix.

This one is looking up the powerline from about 1/3 of the way up.

This one is looking down the powerline from about the same point.
