Hike to Crash Site

Pete and I hiked to a T-28 Trojan crash site from 1964. It is located by Humpback Mountain off the Appalachian Trail. It was a trainer plane and both crew ejected with no fatalities. Most of the site is still there since it was only found a few years back which means people haven't had time to steal it all. Thanks to a savvy GPS app on my phone, we found the site via latitude/longitude without too much issue. Kinda cool!
