Well done with the video tour and historical narrative.

It sure has been a long time! Glad to see another video touching on the history of the trail!

This is awesome, tons of information packed into this as well!

This is super helpful! This section of the trail can be super confusing! Thank you!

I watched a ton of GAP/C&O videos before doing my solo trip this summer. I wish I would have discovered your videos first (c'mon algorithm!). Very well done and meticulous, thank you! I really like the effort to include historical maps and perspective. Regarding McKeesport, this was kind of bummer section of my trip on the first day but your historical perspective provided an entirely new way to approach that area. I can't wait to ride through again.

Thank, helpful. Plan to go in the next week or so.

Thanks for an honest look at the GAP. I just returned from my first visit and was shocked at the difference between RUclips video glamor shots and reality.

These have been great to help me plan for riding the GAP and C&O next year. I hope you continue this series - I love hearing about the history of the trail.

The population of McKeesport peaked at 55,000 in 1940 to around 16,000 now and it hasn't bottomed out yet.

Really nice job. Glad to have found your channel!

Great overview, history, and helpful Trail tips!

I can remember as a child, watching the trains on the P&LE tracks in Boston by the old Harpers Pond.

I did the GAP and C&O in 2021. My first day was 175 miles and started in Pittsburgh at 3am. Riding in the dark through McKeesport was the most challenging navigation of the whole ride. The construction at Water St and the transition from on road to trail on River Rd made for a couple of head scratching moments and some wrong turns. I took a nasty spill in the park along Water St when I was surprised by what looked, in the dark, to be a small downed tree limb across the brick path (clearly I was off course) and tried to ride over it. I have a nice souvenir scar on my forearm to remember the adventure.

Now I know why there are no Hotel's or B+B's anywhere in that area. My upcoming trip will be from Meyersdale to Boston.

Awesome, thanks so much!

Thank you

Good job

Nice video series! I hope to see more videos on the GAP from Boston onward.

The clay factory was called union city sewer

Market street most dangerous portion because u gotta go by the crappy projects

Thanks found this helpful!

Great video !!!

Nicely done. The aerial views are particularly interesting and useful along with the old cameo photos of the city. I’ve recommended your videos to prospective first time riders of the GAP to give them a visual of the route. The videos exiting downtown Pittsburgh and this one getting through McKeesport would be quite helpful to those willing to spend the time to watch them before embarking or, even, while navigating through these areas. The history bytes are quite interesting as well and complement the histories in the book by Bill Metzger.

A very nice video and historic tour of the GAP. It complements Bill Metzger’s book on the GAP quite well.

We’ll done and with excellent video quality. The 1902 photo of Homestead was especially interesting. Goes well with the latest PBS documentary on the GAP as well.

Definitely subscribing! Great video. Appreciate not only a video of the riding but also the history surrounding the area. Looking forward to the next video! We’ll be out to ride this, for sure. THX

excellent, thanks!

Good information! Is the path well marked?
