I was on different roads. Swift Run Road and the Locust Ridge Road until I came to pavement on the New Lancaster Valley Road which took me to Milroy. I missed Tall Timbers proper but likely because I was just enjoying the scenery and not paying attention to the signs.

It was a beautiful landscape in which to be lost!

I haven’t been to Tall Timbers in years, but staying on 235 to Troxelville and follow the signs (go straight where 235 makes a left turn) always worked for me. At least you had some beautiful country to be lost in!

Just looked at the app. An amazing amount of information. It definitely will be useful and I can safely leave the atlas at home. I still love to look at paper maps but I can do that at home when I’m dreaming…

That is a Sheetz store. My stop of choice for fuel and food if I’m not planning a leisurely meal which sad to say seems like a fond memory now.

Snickers ice cream bars are still available here. The ice cream truck that comes through our neighborhood sells them though I usually opt for the Klondike Bar. Next time I’m at Sheetz I’ll have one in recognition of hopes that they return soon to Canada!

Thanks for the heads up on the App Ken. Sounds like the perfect companion for my wandering lust. It’s downloading now onto my phone. I’ll spend some time with the online manual so I can figure out what I need to know in my situations.

Hope the summer is going well and that you and Maryann are weathering the pandemic well.

I think I am looking at a Sheetz Gas Sation in your title photo Steve? My first thought upon seeing a Sheetz is “How long has it been since my last Snickers Ice Cream Bar?” A Summer guilty pleasure denied this season as sadly, the Snickers Ice Cream Bar doesn’t appear to be available in our country? Believe me, I have searched high and low!

Fun article! Just like all of your posts!!!

If you’re looking for a good iPhone map app I highly recommend the app called “You Need A Map”. It has built-in Topo/Road maps for the entire US – the app is HUGE weighing in at 3.8 gig. Since the maps are built-in, you don’t have to download any maps before going out on a trip. And you don’t need cell service to see your location on a map.

For many years this has been my go to app for hiking off grid. I highly recommend reading the online manual due to the apps’ extensive feature set.

Sounds like an exciting time Jim. I’ve never raced but have experienced going from asphalt to dirt to two groove jeep trail to single track in the woods. And on my Vespa. Was never lost though. Still, it was an exciting challenge.

Third place is a fine achievement!

I’ll take a look at the app. Maybe it has some application for me. Thanks for the head’s up.

I grow closer and closer to a complete embargo on news. Facebook hasn’t been a big problem but there are people I see who can be maddening.

Retirement is the best!
