John Gooderham gives a short fly-fishing lesson on a section of LeTort Spring, one of the 13 Pennsylvania Designated Scenic Rivers. LeTort Springs isn't for the faint of heart; if the copious reed beds and taxing currents aren't challenging enough, the wild brown trout here seem to be particularly wily.

Although still photos do no justice to these specimens, they'll give you a glimpse into a few GM legends. These are my top three picks, two of which came from the Pontiac Pavillion: Trans Am Depot's Phoenix T/A and one of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering's LPE-T/A conversions. The third you could own for "$21900, firm".

This stretch is between Harrisburg and the I-70 interchange. I came through here once before in 1980 going to Washington DC, and it's beautiful, rolling country. Just watch and relax.
