Sorry P.A., I feel that despite being your next door neighbor, I have been somewhat neglecting you. With just limited hiking experience west of the Delaware, I opted for the Pocono Mountains, and more specifically Camelback Mountain, which is largely covered by state game land and Big Pocono State Park. I hope this is one of many coming Pennsylvania hikes.

The South Trail is very well groomed and is a multi-purpose trail, handling hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders. At this point I was coming across a lot of hikers (some in large groups), a couple of bicyclists, but no horses.

When my son was young, quite often, my Wife & I would take my son to various attractions in Pennsylvania. During one of our visits to the Strasburg Railroad and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, I took these Photos of Pennsylvania Railroad GG-1 4800, GG-1 4935 and AMTRAK (Former PRR) E-44 502. The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is across the road from the Strasburg Railroad.
This photo shows Electric Locomotives GG-1 Number 4800 and Amtrak E-44 Number 502 on the Turntable. E-44 No. 502 was the last one built by General Electric in 1963.
I took these photos with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35mm SLR Film Camera on December 18, 1995 with Color Slide Film. I Scanned the Slide to create the Electronic Image presented here on the flickr™ site, using Photo Shop™ to improved the Exposure and Sharpness.

Just a week before my company moved me to Florida, I took a trip to Altoona Pennsylvania to visit Horseshoe Curve and the Railroaders Memorial Museum. I didn't have a lot of time or weather conditions to get any satisfactory photos, however I've decided to post this Photo via flickr™ in spite of it's poor quality.

I took this Photo on December 29, 1995 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35mm SLR Film Camera with Color Slide Film. I Scanned the Slides to create to create Electronic Images and optimized the photos with both Photoshop™ and Photomatix Essentials™ to correct exposure, saturation and sharpness.
DISCLAIMER: I took this slide in the in December 1995, while I was just learning Photography just before I moved to Florida. Unfortunately the conditions at that time were not very conducive to photography due to the Extremely High contrast of the scene. Consequently the Color Slide Film, which I used could not handle the extreme contrast range. This resulted in very poor Exposure, Composition and Sharpness. I've utilized Photoshop Elements 10™ & Photomatix Essentials 4.0.1™ to optimized the scan of my Slide to the best of my ability..
