rtraincollector,

Though, I live in N.Y., my wife's maternal relatives are scattered throughout Penna. and that's how I'm familiar with some of the territory.

I'm still using a map, dividers, compass, etc. to navigate, just like, when I was in C.I.C. in the U.S. Navy.

Merry Christmas,

Ralph

okay so hes right there. I have family there but never really did learn the area as my parents moved up there after I joined the navy and that was in 77 and I have been there at the modst about 2 months at one time so not really enough time to learn Most of the time when there I would head back down to west chester where I grew up.

Frackville is about 20 miles South West, of Lebanon, close to Route 81.
