javacatThe July issue of Outside mentioned my hometown in their 37 great weekend escapes article, which tickled me to no end. It's east of Pittsburgh in the Allegheny Mountains, and truly is a beautiful area. I see some full-page ads for the Allegheny and Laurel Highlands area, which is smart of the tourism depts. Go there! Mountain bike! Hike! Partake of French-Indian war history!
