Skydiving in Pennsylvania

Two years ago my brother, and two college buddies took a weekend trip to Pittsburgh.  At that point, It’d just been to Pittsburgh for the first time a few months prior and had been singing the city’s praises.  We wanted to see somewhere new and had a weekend full of activities planned.  On Saturday we went ATVing

The thing is, I’m not going to
