    I had a rough weekend.  Went remote control truck racing with my son.  I was on the track to help flip the trucks back over during practice when this truck flew off a jump and hit me square in the knee cap.  I know you're all thinking it was just a toy car...wrong.  These are pros with trucks made of super reinforced chassis and can reach speeds of 35 mph+.  This car hit so hard that the chassis broke in half...on my knee.  Luckily one of the racers there is an EMT so he patched me up.  The cut was so deep that when I bent my knee you could see my knee cap.  It is no longer the size of a basketball, but it still hurts like hell.

    Damn Lucky my knee hurts just reading your post....see your knee cap....oh hell no ! Might want to start wearing catcher shin guards next time.

    I had the best weekend I have had in a long time. One big reason is I am finally living full time with the family again in our new place in the Houston area. Some may remember I had to take a job here, with the family home being in Dallas. So I got home every Friday night late, spent Saturday catching up on chores, Sunday morning with the kids, and back on the road Sunday night.

    Well this weekend I rode all day Saturday. Not even sure where I was most of the time, but I know damn sure I was on my bike. Sunday we carved pumpkins in the morning, fixed up a play area in the back yard for the kids, and then went Trick-or-Treating on Sunday night.

    Man I love my family!!!!

    Grand Canyon of PA a couple of weekends ago - Nice day trip - When I get better tires will try the forest roads @ the end of the rim trail.
    In the 19th century guys w/ stones the size of basketballs forested this area for mine timbers. - The bicycle trail was the roadbed of the RR

    They run an excursion train in the general area of the PA Grand Canyon - Not sure where it starts or ends - Rolling stock looks to be in good shape

    Hey Savage, I have been there many times. Way back when I hiked a lot I did all the trails in that area. Absolutely beautiful part of PA. That train starts at Wellsboro Junction, on route 287 just a little north of Wellsboro. I do not know how far north it goes, probably into NY at least. Did you eat in the Wellsboro Diner?

    Yeh, good day trip summer or winter. - Great place to XCountry - Arguably the prettiest town in America - Usually eat @ the diner - Next year when I have new tires want to try out the Forest Service roads @ the end of the Rim Trail

    Totally unrelated but when riding North of Watkins Glen, along the East side of Seneca Lake found possibly the most melancholy thing I have ever seen. - Noticed a small pillar in a clump of woods & checked it out, expecting the foundation of a house. - Instead  was the really pretty but really lonely resting place of somebodies wife.

    Savage, that road is SR-97 (called the Hawks nest) near Port Jervis NY.  Something I'd googled and wanted to ride.  The other is the Starrucca Viaduct.  Not certain where we were when we stumbled upon that but I think around 30 miles south of Binghamton.  Ride safe.

    That IS an interesting find.  Makes one wonder the story behind it all.  Savage we'll have to see if we cant bang out a few miles next season.  That grave site wasn't on rt 414 was it? 

    Yup, RIP Annie.

    Yup; East side of 414, 50 - 100 yards North of Hector Falls, about as pretty a spot as can be imagined. - Am I too much of a romantic to think that in 1871, previous to the highway, it was a great place to get laid?
    Looking forward to next year - Want to trace the Delaware & the Susquehanna

    Its probably still a great place to get laid I'd think.  Sounds like it isnt too far from Big Johnsons Sports bar on 414 in hector.  Hell I rode by there about a half dozen times this year and never noticed the grave stone.  I'll find Annie next time through.  Thanks.   jb
