They run an excursion train in the general area of the PA Grand Canyon - Not sure where it starts or ends - Rolling stock looks to be in good shape

Hey Savage, I have been there many times. Way back when I hiked a lot I did all the trails in that area. Absolutely beautiful part of PA. That train starts at Wellsboro Junction, on route 287 just a little north of Wellsboro. I do not know how far north it goes, probably into NY at least. Did you eat in the Wellsboro Diner?

Yeh, good day trip summer or winter. - Great place to XCountry - Arguably the prettiest town in America - Usually eat @ the diner - Next year when I have new tires want to try out the Forest Service roads @ the end of the Rim Trail
Totally unrelated but when riding North of Watkins Glen, along the East side of Seneca Lake found possibly the most melancholy thing I have ever seen. - Noticed a small pillar in a clump of woods & checked it out, expecting the foundation of a house. - Instead was the really pretty but really lonely resting place of somebodies wife.

Savage, that road is SR-97 (called the Hawks nest) near Port Jervis NY. Something I'd googled and wanted to ride. The other is the Starrucca Viaduct. Not certain where we were when we stumbled upon that but I think around 30 miles south of Binghamton. Ride safe.

That IS an interesting find. Makes one wonder the story behind it all. Savage we'll have to see if we cant bang out a few miles next season. That grave site wasn't on rt 414 was it?
Yup, RIP Annie.

Yup; East side of 414, 50 - 100 yards North of Hector Falls, about as pretty a spot as can be imagined. - Am I too much of a romantic to think that in 1871, previous to the highway, it was a great place to get laid?
Looking forward to next year - Want to trace the Delaware & the Susquehanna

Its probably still a great place to get laid I'd think. Sounds like it isnt too far from Big Johnsons Sports bar on 414 in hector. Hell I rode by there about a half dozen times this year and never noticed the grave stone. I'll find Annie next time through. Thanks. jb

414 Huh? That is a great road I forgot about till you mentioned it. As for getting laid there I think I will let you two explore that ???!!!???? Hahahaha

Bangin'...getting laid...I'm sensing a theme here. What could one expect at a place called Big Johnson's"?
Catchy. Head to toe raincoats, anyone? JKLMFAO!!!
