Preserve the Huber Breaker..... http://www.huberbreaker.org/index.html
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!!!"

"A perfection of means, and confusion of aims, seems to be our main problem."

Some neat old pictures of JiM Thorpe and Summit Hill area and the Lehigh Cola & Navigation Co and the gravity railroad used to move coal.

I hiked up the Pisgah Plane a few times. Straight uphill. Great views at top of Mt Pisgah. We could tour this area and hike the trail to the top for the next Coal Fest. Not far from #9.
