Pedalshift Tour Journals: Paw Paw Tunnel Bypass - Part 1
A little
background... the NPS is closing the tunnel... for real this
time... to complete a massive descaling project on the downstream
side of the Paw Paw tunnel. That means when it's closed, the only
way to continue on the towpath is to go up and over the mountain
the tunnel goes through.
I had never done it. Until this trip.
Part 1 focuses on my ride to camp on the downstream side of
the tunnel buuuut it's a little more interesting than that. If you
followed me on Insta you heard something happened(TM) Turns out I
was recording, which is fun and awesome. HOWEVER the sound quality
leading up to it was miserable. Like super bad. But I need you to
hear how it went down, so bear with me here as we get
rolling...
