Branch Pond Road

Branch Pond Road in Kelley Stand is a popular place to camp and hike back to Branch Pond, Bourne Pond and Stratton Pond in the Lye Brook Wilderness.

Long Run Gap

Interstate 80 follows a narrow gap along the Long Run in Centre County, Penna.

Williamsport – US 15 and US 220 Interchange

Eventually the western portion of the Susquehanna Beltway and US 15 north of Williamsport will be designated Interstate 99, as all of US 15 through Corning, NY has been twinned and made-grade seperated to Interstate standards, but there are still significant gaps of at-grade four-lane road around Jersey Shore and the interchange between section of US 220 south of Lock Haven and Interstate 80 is not yet started. Notice that tight "U"-turn flyover that makes the connection to US 15 due to the location of the river, the Lycomming Creek and other topological constraints to the interchange.

Vermont for Memorial Day?

I’m increasingly thinking about doing a Vermont trip again for Memorial Day Weekend. Here are some reasons why:

  1. I’ve already camped up on the East Branch once this year.
  2. It’s so noisy camping up on the East Branch with the traffic from NY 8.
  3. Grout Pond might be fun to do a little swimming in.
  4. There are more hikes I could do in Vermont that I haven’t done before.
  5. IΒ don’t have to drive on the expressway, with all the traffic if I go up to Vermont.
  6. There are lots of dirt roads to drive and explore in that area.
