Yellow Springs Trail and The General, Jonestown PA
Hi there, I'm trying to find mileage and specific info on where to park, which (side) trails to take, etc. I'd like to hike in the area of PA 325, Yellow Springs Trail, and then take the AT to Rausch Gap Shelter, continue on a few miles to another road/parking area. I'm looking to do a few miles in (or out), camp overnight, and then a longer day out, with some exploring time built in for the old mining village and The General (it's an old bulldozer type thing/equipment). I thru-hiked it years ago, but I'm looking to do low miles with my 12 year old, who's a decent hiker. I just don't want to waste a lot of time trying to figure out where to park, which direction to go, etc.
I need, "park here, cross the road and go uphill for 1.5 miles, turn left onto the AT, hike 2 miles" etc type of instructions. Looking for pretty short side trails, and we'll probably shuttle cars. Is anyone REALLY familiar with this stretch? Supposedly cell service is non-existent around there.
