Only in Pennsylvania do we all instinctively hold our breath through the Lehigh Tunnel. Doesn’t matter if you’re 18 or 81, you see that mountain coming and it is game on. Deep inhale, eyes forward, hoping no one brakes.
Halfway through you’re seeing stars but nobody dares exhale. Then you burst out the other side gasping like you just conquered Everest. It’s not written anywhere, but every Pennsylvanian knows this rule: you hold your breath in the Lehigh Tunnel!
