I am somewhat flexible on my time frame, but with a honeymoon planned in October, I would like to not go over my PTO balance between the two of them... If I didn't make this clear before, I plan on doing a round trip.

I was thinking giving myself a two week time frame to finish the tour, but with all hopes of completing it in 10 days...

I have created a couple different routes so far and one did use the Pine Creek Trail. It went Philly - Pottstown - reading - Pottsville - Jersey Shore where I would hope onto the trail...

My main concerns about climbs have been about getting through PA.

I have also considered getting dropped off in Hamburg/ Pottsville as it shouldn't be hard to get a buddy of mine talked into a trip to Cabelas or Yuengling Brewery...

Thanks for all the responses guys, I was not expecting this much help..
