Jim Thorpe

This weekend my Dad, the Ehlingers, the Wilsons, Ed and I went to Jim Thorpe and camped.  I went up Thursday after noon and set up out tents.  The weekend started off with some incredible pudgie pies, the best pies in the world.  You put two pieces of bread on a circular pie press and fill it with filling.  Then you bake it over the fire creating the best thing in the world!!  I stayed up late trying to catch a fish but came up empty handed.  The next morning we got up and went on a sick ride.  We rode the gravitation railroad all the way to the end farthest from town.  We then climbed up this ridiculous climb that was unrideable.  then we hoped onto the sickest single track ever and from there on its to confusing to complain!   

we saw this awesome cave where the air coming out was freezing!

I free climbed a 50 foot cliff!!

We then rode all the way into Jim Thorpe with the final descent being the Wagon Rode which was really fun!!  We got Subway in town and then rode back.  Me Jacob and Timmy went for a kayak ride with only two kayaks.  There was a couple of collisions and Jacob ended up in the lake.    Than night Jacob Phill and I went for a sweet night ride.  We rode up flagstaff mountain across the ridge and down the fire line trail.  Up on top of the mountain we saw a beautiful white owl, and we turned are lights off.  That was the blackest night i have ever seen.  The descent down, the fire line trail was fun but a little sketchy in the dark.  I came back and had some pudgie pies with Ed, who finally arrived.  

The next day we woke up early to get a good start on are ride!  The morning stated off with me experiencing major butt pains!! I rode the first 5 miles of the ride standing up.  We rode the most technical trail ever, and it showed!

since we were low on flat supplies we decided to cut the ride short and go do another ride on the broad after we broke down camp.  We ended up finding a sick cut off with an awesome descent back onto to gravity railroad.  not before finding a cool scenic over look!!

We stopped in town, and reloaded are supplies and went out for another ride on the broad!!
