Hi everyone!
I'm an ultra runner and have been running sections of the GAP all year long. I've been looking recently at running the section from Connellsville to Homestead, but I'm wondering if there are any safety issues in this area as far as riff-raff. I've read elsewhere that some areas of the GAP closer to Pittsburgh can be questionable.
The plan is to leave a car in Connellsville and get dropped off in Homestead. I have run to Connellsville from Ohiopyle before, and it seemed like a good place to leave a car for 10-12 hours.
Thanks in advance and happy trails!
