The Tuscarora Trail in PA: Buchanan State Forest- (section hike) 25 mile linear trek

Tuscarora Section Hike from PA 75 (Spring Run) to Pa 16.
The Tuscarora Trail in the 90s was in shambles when I
first section hiked the entire trail into Maryland.
I wanted to check out the changes since the PATC took
over. They have added six shelters which has made
overnight stays easier. Due to lack of use and lack of
volunteers...some sections haven't changed much.
My initial plan was to thru-hike from the northern
terminus to Hancock MD in 2022, but an injury to my
left knee ruined that. After the challenging three miles
above the PA turnpike...I've concluded that I no longer
desire to thru-hike the Tuscarora...plus turning 60 has
diminished the desire. Younger hikers may thrill in the
challenge...us older adventurers...not so much. This is
truely one of the most difficult trails in the state!
This video was a linear hike with a friend dropping me
off in Spring Run and a car parked near the end. If you
skip the first seven miles of this trip...the rest is really
worth it... Special thanks to the PATC for attempting
to keep this trail open. Also...please consider joining
the KTA. Thanks for viewing. Phil 3:14

I hiked the northern half solo, no shuttle, no car. I caught poison ivy and got scratched up. I had the guidebook and a Garmin GPS. What a hard trail that is.
