Any Fun/challenging places to fly in PA/southern NY

[Vihurah]

I don't get out to the North much being based in the DMV area, really only been as far as MDT and RDG. was wondering if people had any go-to's in Pennsylvania that are good for a day trip or 2.

I like kzer because it sits above a valley.

Your area of interest puts you pretty close to the Hudson River Corridor/Skyline Route.

If you haven’t already flown it, you should.

Grimes is cool. You can fly into Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome (southeast NY) if you call for permission first, and not during the show. Cherry Ridge (N30) is a nice little field with a restaurant. Keller is a beautiful grass strip, as is Farmers Pride (9N7). Of these, only Rhinebeck might be considered "challenging", depending on what you fly.

Penn’s Cave Airport has a cool animal park and underground cave adjacent to the airport. It makes for a fun day.

Honesdale is a cute town. I was going to stop by N30 last summer, but it looked like the restaurant had closed... but now it's open again?

Gettysburg is a good one, and you can call ahead to get a crew car and visit the area.

N27 Towanda PA. One restaurant you can walk to (across runway from ramp). Courtesy cars and a number of good places nearby.

CHEAP gas. Today $5.05

Sky Acres was mentioned above, they have a great restaurant (get a reservation) and are a nice place to stop for lunch after doing the skyline route. Pretty serious slope on the taxiway there, exit midfield if you can.
