[FSPA] Alternate Route to Pittsburgh

[Dave Hubbard]

I'll share my preferred route as well, which might be slightly preferable
to those attending the pre-Pinburgh tournament at the PPL clubhouse and/or
people heading there first for early check-in:

Basically, Take I-70 to I-68 west over the mountains, then head up US-40.
>From there, US-119 north for a small stretch and then PA-51 north all the
way to Pittsburgh.  This has you approaching Pittsburgh from the south,
which is perfect to hop to the PPL clubhouse.

I like this route because I enjoy the drive over the mountains.  Plus, you
get to pass perhaps Pennsylvania's only marked Dangerous Mountain :)
