3.30 miles Bernshiel Bridge Road (3rd Jct. with AT)	Even the latest edition of the AT Guide (11th) gives the impression that there is a ball field at this point where this potential parking. There is a ball field but it is about 0.6 miles south of this point. See below. 01/27/10 --- David Cullen --- 2010
3.60 miles Bernshiel Bridge Road (4th Jct. with AT)--Ballfield Parking	From I81, Travel east on route 11. After going under the AT bridge you will turn left on Ridge (Burnhisel) Road. After the road turns right, Burnhisel Road turns to the left. There is parking at a sports field complex (GPS N40.23840 W77.09507). The AT is approximately .3 miles north of this parking area. The trail crosses Burnhisel Bridge Road at GPS N40.24025 W77.10017. --- Hiking south you will cross over route 11 on a trail bridge, walk through a wooded section, walk along a corn field, cross RR tracks and thru more fields until you reach the turnpike. --- http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=40.23840%2C… --- 2010	many
3.60 miles Bernhisel Bridge Road (4th Jct. with AT)--Trailhead	According to the Google Maps, it is 0.7 miles from Ridge Road to point where the westbound AT goes west off Bernhisel Road. (See above). When I hiked through here, I felt that parking right at this spot was minimal at best. However not on the street view of the attached map, there is a car parked in a small grassy area just south of the farm road. The AT Guide says there is limiting parking at this point, but I don't know if the field is what they mean. I don't know if hiker parking is legally allowed here or not. Rotate the street view on the attached map to the northwest to see the farm road and the possible parking. --- Coming south the AT is east of Bernhisel Road. It follows the boundary between the darker green and lighter green of the fields seen on the satellite view of the attached map, reaching the road at Marker A. It follows the road across I-81, then turns west at Marker B onto a farm road then crossing another field and eventually going back into the woods. The blue line indicates the section where the trail follows the road. 04/14/09 --- David Cullen --- http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=40.244202%20-77.101135&daddr=4… --- 2010	See directions

4.30 miles US 11	The AT crosses US 11 on a footbridge (complete with a sign) about a mile east of I-81 in Carlisle. Just east of the footbridge, a side street goes right (south). There is no street sign. Curbside parking for several cars is possible. There are no houses in the immediate vicinity so you do not have to worry about parking in front of somebodys house. Overnight parking is probably not advisable. The road eventually goes into a trailer park. --- There is a "herd path" which climbs the embankment on the north side of US 11 and on the west side of the footbridge. This gives access to the AT at the north end of the footbridge. Left on AT is northbound, right is southbound. 4/19/2006 --- David Cullen --- 2010	Several curbside on side street
4.30 miles US 11	See satellite view on the attached map. The AT footbridge across US 11 can be clearly seen. Click on the camera icon by A, and rotate the street view to the south to see the side street where there is parking. Rotate to the west to see the overpass as seen from the east on US 11. Click on the camera icon by B and rotate to the north to see the 'herd path' mentioned above. The user supplied photo shows the overpass from the vantage point of the A. 1/23/10 --- David Cullen --- http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=40.23272%20-77.1077&daddr=40.2… --- 2010
5.40 miles Appalachian Drive (North Jct.)	See directions to the intersection of US 11 & Appalachian Drive given at Mile 6.5. Go 0.7 miles down Appalachian Drive. This would be point A on the map attached at Mile 5.5. No parking here, only drop-off. --- The northbound AT follows Appalachian Drive north from the crossing of the PA turnpike. here it goes left (west) off the road and follows fields and woods to the US 11 overpass. 01/24/10 --- David Cullen --- 2010	0
5.50 miles PA Turnpike/ Appalachian Drive (Middle Jct.)	GPS N40 13.309 W 77 06.144 --- The trail crosses the turnpike on a regular car overpass.

5.50 miles PA Turnpike/ Appalachian Drive (Middle Jct.)	See instructions to Stone house Drive (Mile 6.5) Follow these to Appalachian Drive and then 0.8 miles south on that to the crossing of the PA Turnpike. Appalachian Drive is a narrow road with practically no shoulder so parking is not possible. This should be considered a drop-off point only. --- The northbound trail has been paralleling Appalachian Drive since Mile 5.8. It rejoins Appalachian Drive south of the overpass over the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Point B on the attached map). In approximately 0.2 miles it goes west off the road (Point A on the attached map) and goes through fields and woods towards the US 11 overpass 01/24/10 --- David Cullen --- http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=40.2228%20-77.1023&daddr=40.22… --- 2010	0
5.80 miles Appalachian Drive (South Jct.)	See directions to Old Stonehouse Road (Mile 6.5). Follow these except that you should only go 1.1 miles on Appalachian Drive. The trail crosses the road here. Parking here is non-existent so this should only be considered a drop-off point. --- The southbound trail is on the east side of the road. It goes southeast towards Old Stonehouse Road. The northbound trail is on the west side of the road. It turns north and parallels Appalachian Road to just south of the PA Turnpike bridge. (See Mile 5.5). It rejoins Appalachian Drive there 01/23/10 --- David Cullen --- http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=40.2184%20-77.1062&… --- 2010	0
