Bill says

8-7-2023 we drove this road up to the Pennsylvania mill and then up to the tram house. The road is easy but has a lot of potholes so you have to go slow. There are a lot of designated campsites along the way, most of them are very small, but there is a lot of demand and most were in use. The mill is very interesting but not in good shape so I don't recommend going inside. It is a short steep road up to the tram house but has very good views so this is recommended. Beware there are a lot of mosquitos on this road so be prepared if you are going to camp.
