    How far do you feel like driving?

    How much crowd do we want to deal with?

    Do you want to ride someplace you haven't already ridden, or does that not matter?

    Would like to ride somewhere I haven't, with as little crowd as possible, within 1.5 hour drive. Is that possible?

    Kal?

    Cushwa Basin to Fort Frederick sounds about right to me.

    Cushwa Basin parking's likely to be crowded. There's a smaller lot a bit downstream by the lockhouse, but I've never checked it out so I don't know how crowded it gets. That is a nice ride, though, so I could be willing to brave the crowds at the beginning/end. The other option would be to drive a bit further and meet at Fort Frederick.

    Janice, how long does it take you to drive to my house (just to estimate your total driving time)?

    Probably about 20-25 minutes.

    Then Ft Fred would be at the max end of your time limit. Shall we go for Cushwa Basin in Williamsport, then? I still haven't checked out the new museum that opened there this summer.

    Zen, when you rode to Ft Fred, did you ride around the park at all? Or up along next to Big Pool?
