Mine is just north of POGs.  The Freeman Trail around Blood, which I took 
this last trip when I couldn't get my lame legs over on Sunday, but then 
retook backwards to remain the purist that I am, is great in both directions 
and makes a nice loop piece to go up and over Blood.  Close second is the 
Escarpment Trail above Palmerton, PA (which is the old AT in that section).  
It's bluish-grey blazed but I assume it still counts.

Black&blue
