Good link Jeff. I looked at "Devils Hole" first and got excited by the pictures. Ofcourse, it is located on State Game Lands.

There is one located on Barren Hill Rd. outside of Conshohocken I pass occassionally. All of the equipment is still there. It's probabably the one mentioned in the article as "near Conshohocken"

From I have read, people loose a lot of change on the slopes. Could be even better if they have been closed for years. Cool post Jeff!
