As part of an overnight bikepacking trip along the GAP, I left the GAP Trail for an out-and-back diversion on the Sheepskin Trail over to Dunbar, PA. I had ridden that trail a couple of years ago. At that time a portion of that trail passed through a rail car staging area which consisted of course railroad ballast stone. It was a short but unpleasant ride. Since then that section of the trail has been resurfaced with crushed stone like the rest of the trail. It is now a smooth surface making that side trip quite pleasant. It was dry yesterday but could become a little soft following wet weather.
