I seem to recall you're in PA, somewhere near Michaux State Forest, or at least within reasonable driving distance. There should be multiple farm-market style stores, likely run by Mennonites nearby...

That's probably Lamb's Knoll, three or so miles north of Gathland State Park.
==Old Thread==
I have remained curious about this feature. Well, it's just a data glitch. Sometime in the last 6 years there's been updated lidar data, and, while the "ravine" shows at low...
While I have not hiked all the DS trails, the worst mud in my experience are along the Dobbin Grade Trail, especially on both sides of the Beaver Dam Trail. It can get deep and liquidy; different...
We didn't have any cicadas in my neighborhood, about 15 miles northeast of the point 10 miles northwest of Harpers Ferry. But over the last few weeks, I finally got to see (and hear) them, at...
I did a short hike in Michaux State Forest today; not on the AT but within 2 miles of Toms Run Shelter. No cicadas spotted.
The most horrific thing I ever saw in the "nature red in tooth and claw" (though neither were involved) was a group of ants eating a freshly hatched (probably immature) bird, writhing around...
Check before you go. Both HF and the C&O state that the parking lots between locks 33-34 below MD Heights are still closed.
The AT crosses rt 233 twice in Pennsylvania (also confusing, this seems to be posted in Maryland). The northern crossing (where the AT follows the road a short distance, is near Pine Grove Furnace. ...
Glancing at their schedule, and if I understand it (far from given), NOBOs would pretty much have to overnight in HF to catch the train. I suspect it would be easier for SOBOs, as the trains will...
Trains also pass on that track during the day. I've seen at least one go by while I was on MD Heights.
I don't know if camping is allowed on the old Turnpike itself, but the road between the tunnels is surrounded by Buchanan State Forest, where camping is allowed in most places. For the tunnels, you...
You may want to look up what airport van shuttle services (non AT related) are available from BWI. I'm sure you can get to either Frederick or Hagerstown (I am thinking of one in particular that...
They were out in force at Martin Hill Wild Area in Bedford Co a weekend ago. Found a few on me and removed them, but must have missed one and had to go to the ER to get an engorged one removed from...
Tuscarora State Forest would offer some loop ideas. Using the Tuscarora Trail, and some trails in the Masland Natural Area, Bill Miller, Cold Spring, and so forth can make a nice remote loop.
...
No, it's not as rocky as the AT in eastern PA. So now you need to ask the next most obvious question.
(edit: bolded the wrong "as" initially)
I'm not that far from Michaux, and thus do a lot of hiking there. It also helps that there are hundreds of miles of trail in the area, both official and not-so-much. There are many great areas on...
Limited, and not very obvious. Space for two, maybe three cars at most. I wouldn't consider it an overnight parking spot. Not really due to safety, but more because of nearby house(s).
Pogo campground spring was flowing nicely a week ago.
The topography data there is lidar based, not from a scanned map. I do suppose there could be some data processing errors, tho I somewhat doubt it. (For example, in one of the areas I generally...
It shows up in The National Map's elevation data. So maybe it is real. Perhaps an old quarrying area? I'd probably want better resolution data than 1/9 arc second given, but NC requires...
Tough section, but good for solitude. I've hiked most of it save for Knob Mtn. You got plenty of steep up/down hills. Tells us about 641 parking; I need to do a couple of day hikes or shuttles...
A short loop can be made starting at the Maverick Lane parking lot (refer to posted map). A jeep trail and woods road takes you to the TT, which you then head to the Nose. There's a trail heading...
The campsite is on the jeep trail that heads north at a sharp bend between two jeep trails the TT use.
The spring is located trail north of this junction (i.e. the east jeep trail) between there...
Maryland Heights
Very popular, tough in my view. Great view at the overlook. The north loop sees less traffic but still plenty of use with history and second overlook. I recommend using the HF...
