Hiked up the western side of the Lehigh Gap today. Wao! Grate trail. @toast21602 did you know there are trains in the Lehigh Gap?? Also had a Tamaqua sighting while viewing a sign. @AtomicSkier Tamaqua talk.

Where did you grow up?  My grandfather was into trolleys.  Allentown had a whole system of trolleys.  He even had one like from Mr. Rogers neighborhood in his library.

The history of this area is fascinating. While standing there I was pondering all the tons of coal that passed through the gap and fueled so much economic growth during the industrial revolution.

I used Strava on my cheap cell phone.

West end of Allentown but had relatives in Lehighton . We would visit their place on weekends .

Funny you mention Trolleys I bought a house in Eastern Salisbury and one of the old trolley lines went behind my house . The house was a POS and was literally built from old ties laid on bricks for the foundation . I built a new house on the front of the lot and tore the old one down .

I’ll definitely check it out this year. Had planned to go last year, but it was so beautiful out, we went hiking instead. Then they closed because of fire.

A couple times but the conditions were not good and he didn’t have very much fun. He’s a novice and has a long way to go ability wise. We skied Bear creek a bunch the previous year. Straight lining Blue apparently is a little different 😁

First cut of the season.
