then i headed down to portland,PA wich is only a short ride from where i stayed.
so,..from this bridge the portland-columbia footbridge mark as my starting point.

                                        portland,PA

to get to paulinskill valley trailhead i have to get on route 94 north for a mile then turn right onto brugler road the trailhead is on the left after going over a small bridge.

                                      a small bridge on brugler road on the left is the paulinskill trailhead.

after found the paulinskill trailhead,then following it for about 2 mile i came across these  two sign.

then continue for another couples miles,suddenly..my chain snap.right under these bridge.

                                                the lackawanna cutoff railroad bridge (abandoned)

at around mile 20...

                                         blairstown airport

                                            blairstown footbridge park

sussex branch trail at juntion route 206

after completed my first section of paulinskill valley trai.then continue on sussex branch trail for another 21 mile until i reached allamuchy state park.

                                                  the lackawanna cutoff bridge and sussex brach trail intersect.

                                        at morris canal in saxton falls.

after taking a break in saxton falls then i continued on by following highland trails to get connected with pathriot path.
but pathriot path was so amusing,lots of disconnected part of the trails.a map woud be a time saver (i don't carry any of it) so,..i was so frustrated by it.
i decided to continue my trip by riding on the roads.
so,.all come to 115miles for over 14 hrs.
10 hrs moving time and the rest trying to find the connected of patriot path that keep missing link.
