I was relaxing and watching the new episode of Jeopardy tonight when up pops a question about the AT! I dont remember the exact question but something about a lookout vista and lehigh gap in Pennsylvania along this 2000 mile long footpath. Pretty cool!

I'm also sitting here watching Jeopardy and heard that question.
Now I feel bad cause I didn't particularly enjoy my walk through Pennsylvania.

Aw c'mon you know that climb up out of Lehigh Gap northbound (or descent southbound) is one of the weirdest stretches on the AT.

I seem to have not minded PA as much as most folks claim to. The rocks were intense but the verticals were lame. When I crossed into PA from NJ in 2006, there was a jazz festival going on, right on the trail. I mean, literally on the trail. Welcome to PA! (Note the white blaze on the phone pole by the stage. The hostel is another couple hundred yards up that street.)

Very cool, I sectioned through there sobo a couple of years back and saw the empty stage area. It looked like an excellent and slightly out of place setup and I've been curious what it was used for.
