Pedalshift Tour Journals: Paw Paw Tunnel Bypass – Part 3

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 3 focuses on the return trip and the little surprise that started it off.

Reminder… new music!

Brock Dittus – Most Important Thing

Sunfields new album Late Bloomers available now

Gonna do something a little different for the next two eps… building out a micro camper from a hand me down sedan that I’m going to (hypothetically) use for bike touring adventures. This is the beta version. The test. And oh are we gonna test it. More in a week!
 
And oh hey… Live show! 4/30 fri 9pm ET! Topics and more TBA but I’m sure a segment will be on the microcamper as touring enhancer. Click here for the details. Programming note, this live show will be rebroadcast as the pod on May 6th, which will knock the best of out of its usual first Thursday perch to the second Thursday in May which is May 13th.

SAVE THE DATE… Pedalshift Live Friday April 30, 9pm ET, 6pm PT
