Preparing for Paradise

It has finally happened! The relocation to Connellsville, PA is officially in progress. All the amazing climbing in SWPA is only minutes away; Breakneck is literally within walking distance, Casparis is right down the road, and Coll's is a ten minute drive. Not to mention the wealth of development to be had in the Donegal area only 20 minutes to the east. Shit is about to get crazy!! Hopefully these pics don't make you too jealous.. and to those who judge me for living in a trailer - I say - It's got an 8 foot deep in ground pool, a fireplace, a soon-to-be built training wall in the garage, high speed internet, and more high-tech electronics then your granny can shake a stick at... so suck it.

I move in later this month, and I wish I could just go into a hibernation until then. Hopefully the pool will still be warm enough to enjoy. And to all you couch surfers out there, I have 2 guest rooms (1 with 2 bunk beds) and two huge couches. Only problem is you'll be too hungover to climb anything.

Now for the bad news about this situation: The original property I was looking at was 13 acres directly across the road from Coll's Cove, and I had high hopes of turning it into the best (and only) SWPA climber campground. It would have solved the parking situation there, and even had some boulders on it. But the stupid old hicks decided not to sell it at the last minute because their pockets are currently full of natural gas money. The trailer was really shitty anyway. I bet in a couple years they will be desperate for money again and we'll pick up that property for like 30 grand.

Stay tuned for some climbing updates - This weekend is supposed to be 60 degrees, and October is just around the corner! but, ya know, who gives a shit..
