Hi Chris,

I would love to do this, but I'm conservatively  estimating a 4 hour trip
one way from  north of Pittsburgh to the park.

I would do it, (and finally meet you, you old legend you), but we would have
to stay someplace (in the Westy) overnight, 'cause I'm getting old, and just
can't jump in drive, yak, interact, etc and then drive another long distance
anymore. It's not that I can't do it, but it is just not safe (for the rest
of the family).

Any suggestions as to where to camp nearby?

Cheers,

Dave
