Are runners crazy?

Michael Kinney sent these photos to me and I'm sure that he would have posted them to the blog if he could only figure out the Blogger thing.

Hi Everyone,

Most of you think us runners are crazy, unless you're a runner. Here's what I put my body through on a run today! Check out these pictures.

For those of you out of town in the nice warm sunny climate, you might enjoy these pictures also!

The pictures are from the Back Mountain Trail between Luzerne and Trucksville, above Route 309.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Michael









Michael, I'd like to thank you for sending along these pictures. Terri and I hiked that trail a few years ago and it's very beautiful. When I was a kid, there were still train tracks there.

I've got two trivia questions for anyone who reads this. There is a sign along that trail with names of people who helped to build it. There is a name of one of our class members on that sign. Who is it?

Secondly, the train track that previously occupied that trail was built for a specific reason. Where did it terminate and what was its purpose? Here's a hint: It was an industry that thrived in the Wyoming Valley from around 1880 until 1930 and it was not related to coal.
