Waltzing across the state line
How wonderful to see this. Pen-Mar is there on the line between PA and MD, and I've heard there used to be a big stage for ballroom dancing at this lookout. My grandfather's family had a hotel in Pen-Mar and in summers from about 1905-1915, as a boy, he used to drive the little train that met passengers in Waynesboro, and carry them up to Pen-Mar. Visited here a couple of times and climbed onto the now one story look-out. As you can see in this shot, it's quite a view!
Watch for low-flying planes
The pavilion is gone but some traces of its foundations remain, along with a great deal of graffiti. It's a popular spot to launch your hang glider, as long as the prez isn't up at Camp David.
