The point at Frog Hollow would work very nicely for a task I have in
mind. Any of you MASA-chists or Ridge Soaring types been there, done
that, got the T-Shirt?

Thanks in advance,

Last time I checked a map, PA did not touch VA.
I think MD is inbetween. :-) I'll admit I can
just about hold my breath during the transit
of MD at one point. (that is in a car ) :-)

Boy is my face red... Never really paid much attention to the fact tha
PA/MD/VA/WV all come together in that one little part of the world.
So, for those of you (and there were several) who pointed out my error,
let me clarify: Frog Hollow (or the town of Green Spring, VA) is right
on the border of VA/WV slightly south and east of the "neck" in MD
where it borders WV and PA. The mountain in question would be
reached by flying either to the end of the Tuscarora (at the Potomac)
and dropping SE or to Bear Pond Mountain (also at the Potomac) and
dropping S. To put it another way, it's the first ridge west of
Martinsburg, WV.

Anyway, there's no great reason for most people to fly it, as it
doesn't really lead anywhere and it's not really in the contest area
for Mifflin or MASA. Just hoping someone has been down there, maybe
making a transition from the Front Royal area into ridge country...
