The next morning we woke up and started our assent. It was actually a pretty mellow incline. We reached a little hump just before the summit and took off our bags to catch our breath when all of a sudden all the horror reading about black flies came true. We were getting hammered. We pretty much couldn't stop moving or we would get tore up. So we scurried to the top only stopping on the windy side of the mountain to check out the views. At the very peak was a small gathering of rocks pushing the peak higher into the sky. Here at these rocks a battle for the tippidy top was going on. Thousands of bugs were swarming. Some, no exaggeration, where more than an inch long. Avoiding the bugs we circled around to the far side of the peak where there was a nice exposed cliff face to climb. Once we reached our breaking point dealing with the bugs we headed down grabbed our bags and moved on. We made it about another mile further before we dove off into the woods looking for the ultimate campsite. Well we never found that site but did stumble upon an old trail that hadn't been maintained for years. We followed this trail for miles until we finally reached a stream and a reasonable place to camp.

The next morning we woke up and had some breakfast while figuring out just where we were and where we had to go. We eventually made our way to a ski trail that we followed for most of the day circling back to where our car was. We ended up in this valley at one point that was clearly and older part of civilization. There were lots of old stone structures and trees that were certainly old growth. Then we came to a clearing wear we could see off into the distance that a storm was brewing, so we got trucking. Well we didn't make it and totally got poured on. The good thing about the rain was that the bugs went in for a few hours. We eventually made our way to a small rustic cabin for the night. We stayed here the night which turned out to be a good idea since more storms blew in during the night. Some SERIOUS storms. Some of the thunder/lightning was so intense that it shook the entire cabin, and the rain on the tin roof was deafening.

The next morning we got up, got our stuff together and headed up the trail. We hiked for another hour or so until we make it to the best views on the trail. We hung out here for a while taking pictures and goofing off until we decided that we had better get going since some of us had a 10hr drive ahead.

For those of you who live in the Philadelphia area I highly recommend that you come to this years bike race. Its a real good time. Good sports, good food and good fun. It is one of the only days in Philadelphia that they will look the other way with open container laws so expect to see lots of debauchery.



Heres a little info about the men's race.

The main event of the Commerce Bank Triple Crown of Cycling – the Philadelphia International Championship, will treat Philadelphia spectators to a showing of twenty-five of the world’s elite professional cycling teams. Approximately 17 domestic and eight international teams will make up the culturally rich field of riders. With eight riders per team, Philadelphia is in for an exciting day of racing as they watch 200 cyclists vie for the lead position in the extremely competitive peloton. The cyclists will complete 10 laps of a 14.4-mile circuit through Philadelphia, which will include 10 climbs up the 17% grade Manayunk Wall. They will finish with three laps of Lemon Hill and Logan Circle, having logged 156 miles total in one of the biggest special sporting events in the country. Start Time: 9:00am.

SYMBIOT out will be out and about on race day, so keep an eye out for us.
