Sure you'd rather stay inside all weekend re-reading your favorite Toy Department features. But let's face it, you're starting to smell bad. Bugs are circling your head. And it's time to move so someone can vacuum under the couch. As we do every Friday in this space, may we humbly suggest you do everyone a favor and, "Get out!"

Allegrippis sounds more like an opponent of Spartacus than a destination. But the new biking and hiking trail system, just 130 miles north and west of Baltimore, is opening on May 8 and I'm guessing it will be a winner. Why?

The old "something for everyone" adage can be applied to the Allegrippis Trail System. Hugging the shore of Raystown Lake, the 30 miles of trails are marked green, blue and black--like ski slopes--for difficulty. One trail, an old logger's road, is strictly for those on foot.

The trails system is laid out in "stacked loops," which allows users to build their own circuit hikes or rides.

There are picnic areas, camp sites, a marina and boat launch interwoven with the trails system, again, in keeping with the "something for everyone" theme.

Allegrippis is part of a push by "The Alleghenies" tourism folks to attract more outdoors traffic to the region between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. The Web site has a lot of three-day adventure packages, ranging from birding and fishing to paddling and boating. Do just one activity or mix and match. Take a peek at: thealleghenies.com
