Anyone in the Roaring Spring area??

[surfhippy74]

Hey everyone. I am really new to PA. I visited this summer and moved out here from Oregon to be near my girlfriend.
I live in Roaring Spring which is pretty close to Altoona. Is there anyone remotely close to that out here?

I'm not close but I often use 99/220 to get to the turnpike. Welcome to Pa :rastasmoke:

Yea i'm in the general area, prob within 2 hours... 99 isn't TOO far away ;)

Thanks

Two hours isn't so bad. Are you familiar with this area at all? There isn't anything around here and not much to do.
I am a disabled vet and my girlfriend works all day so I need to find something. Playing the PS3 all day isn't so fun by yourself after a while.

Any ideas?

The only thing I remember about that area was the smell of the chemicals from the paper plant. I'm a little over an hour away.

Ah well if you can't get out of the house.... there isn't much to do in roaring springs...

Altoona pretty much has shopping areas... and farmland to my memory.

There's plenty to do here in western Pa. Pick up a new hobby, learn a new language, read, write a book, get a pet, make friends, get out and do something.

Thanks,
Yeah, I live right down the street from the Paper plant, luckily the wind usually blows the other direction.
I play guitar and a couple of other things.
I kinda got on here to make some friends or try to. I love driving too, but I got nowhere to go yet.

welcome to PA, im on the other side of state college from you, going to school in Lock Haven. State college has some things to do there.

I have a guitar that I never learned to play, maybe I can start practicing. I also build and fly rc planes and there's a couple of flying fields out that way that I'd like to check out (in the spring).
