Keystone State Thread

I would be interested in checking out centralia. I will try to do some research on access and legality of visiting the area today, while I am supposed to be working.

 

yeah, i'm all for it...set up a date and time in a new thread, see how many people we can get

Any of you guys familiar with Lehigh River rafting trips?

What would you recommend in terms of trips?
I've found several and just don't know what's best. This wouldn't be anything drastic - just family rated rapids 1's & 2's I believe. I've done 3's in W.V. - but the husband has never gone and gotta go easy on 'em. Plus, this might be an organized trip with other people.

Janster, I went whitewater rafting for the first time last weekend in Ohiopyle. Our guide said the highest rated rapid on our particular route was rated at 3+. I think half of us never had done rafting ever and the other half (8 people + guide on a raft) had some experience.

I think your husband would be fine on class 3 as long as there are people on his raft that have done it before.

 

im down for hosting a small shindig at my camp sometime in the summer!

some good shots of me and tacomonster07 trucks:

following down one of the fun trails

 

ill post of a pic of camp then....belive it will be able to sleep quite a few of us.

 

I know he'll be fine...but we may have other people involved with children. I have to check out the rates & locations to make a final decision. Right now, I'm looking for reputable trips.

 

theres one up in bedford county, its right by my gfs camp. its pretty wild drifting uphill and when you run up and down the road everything feels opposite, i thought it was neat as hell! def worth checking out if your around it

 

There used to be some old strip mines in somerset country around the ship motel onj route 30 you all might want to check out

 

oh good call then. when i went there were a couple of times I almost fell out. Little kids would be flying everywhere on class 3's I'm guessing.

 

Good time to teach them critical survival skills like "Hold on like I done told you 15 times now!!" or how to swim.

Am I the only one with kids that have to learn everything the hard way?

 

it's one thing to throw them in a pool.

but to throw them in rapids is just mean haha

 

Maybe they'll learn to do as they're told? Mine seem to have a problem with that. Maybe the threat of imminent death would motivate them?

 

heres a pic of my camp we can all meet and stay at.

 

bump for pa!

 

huh, what? I'm awake now, what's going on?

 

just trying to get some chatter from the paers
