I haven't been up that jawn in over a decade. I miss being out there in the middle of the Pines.

My friend lives in Jim Thorpe and she absolutely loves it there. My wife and I also love it there. Highly recommend it, for sure.

Thanks for the kind words on our State. That part of PA is pretty nice with all the different elevation changes if you like that sort of thing (I do). I also felt the same way you did when I was driving through Quebec heading to Mont Tremblant. Really beautiful area up that way.

I saw the dispatch go out for that. A similar thing happened to me while getting off 202N at 401. The car came up past us while we were getting off the off-ramp. I flashed him, then called 9-1-1. Didn't see any dispatches for accidents over the next hour or so. Figuring he realized his mistake and turned around.

The FAA archives showed it expiring at 10:30a, but close enough!

There is not a current TFR in effect in the area. I didn't actually see what time the TFR ended this morning when it was active. Usually, it's something like 10 or 11a on Monday morning, but that varies on every TFR. Sometimes a TFR could be published to end at 1700 (5p) for example, but the VIP leaves the area earlier at say 930a and the TFR is then removed. Looking at the archives, this TFR expired at 1530Z (10:30a Eastern) today.

Pilots really need to be aware of TFRs with having a President living so close to the Philly region. It has been a couple of years, so it's not really new. These TFRs are really annoying sometimes and have caused me (And many others, especially smaller airports within the 28nm outer ring) to lose some work, but such is life. It's quick and simple to check for TFRs and NOTAMs before you fly. FAA websites and apps will give you the info you need.
