Cherries and Metal on Mt. Penn, Reading, PA

While back in PA I didn't have time to do much of anything fun outside, but I did get out for a run from Antietam Lake, up to the Pagoda. Key observations:

1) On the east side of Skyline Drive, between the Pagoda and Drenkel Field, there is a cherry tree and the cherries are just about ripe. (Blogger tested during the run.)

2) Kuechler's old wine cellar at the intersection of Gravity and Ferndale Trails is metal as hell dude.





(If you are so inclined, don't miss out on this other also very metal gate to the underworld, and a whole catalog here.)

3) Thanks again to the B. family for ongoing support, fajitas, boxes, and Tylenol BM. During times like these you find out who your real friends are.
