Some information.

The gamelands started closing gates.

These roads are still open for about 20 more days.View attachment 139289

So we drove back in 3 miles to find a hill suitable for sleding.

Anyone hitting the trails this weekend?

Was hoping for some snow for some more sledding, but looks like more rain and near freezing temps.

If you hit the trails, be careful on the North side of the hills and bring some wet weather gear and some warm, dry clothes just in case.

Might hit some trails in Rothrock...got a birthday party and a honey do list though.

Made it out to Rothrock. Spent a good bit of time showing the family the campsites and we trekked up to one of the firetowers. Great beautiful day.

Last weekend for most of the opened gameland roads. The 29th closes up my local ones.
We are going to the outdoor show in the morning and the RV show in the evening on Saturday.

Hopefully going to do some more scouting in Rothrock on Sunday.

Anyone else planning to enjoy the outdoors this weekend?

 

[LGlx]

Working this weekend. But following weekend I'm free to roam.

Where is that location around?

 

[DevilDodge]

Rothrock and Bald Eagle join each other at route 322.
Just south of Potters Mills.

Check out my Rothrock to Bald Eagle connection thread

Rothrock to Bald Eagle connection

This will be the trip planning for a extended trip with overnight stays and daily exploring that will be an attempt to off pavement travel from the begining of one to the end of the other. Looks like it is possible according to the maps I have. Will need to get some tires in the mud to see for...

The exact location I was at was the Alan Seeger picnic and natural area.

We then went up to Greenwood Firetower.View attachment 141532

That looks really cool. Ill definitely look into the location. See if i can manage some free time this summer and at least go somewhere.

What part of Bald Eagle where you in today. We spent 5 hours today exploring and hiking. We covered 50 off pavement miles. We could have easily hit Bald Eagle and traveled there with no issue.

There is alot of cool things to see, if you like nature and still find it interesting. Lots of awesome vistas and plenty of wildlife.

We love checking out firetowers.

Anyone make it out today?

We got 90 miles of forest roads traveled today. We started in Rothrock and made the connection to Bald Eagle.

We checked out some more campsites and vistas.

A great cold snowy day

Switched gears to hiking since camping is on hold.

Check out my Moshannon State Forest thread

I also hiked down to what would have been our site for the weekend. Was debunking my own conspiracy theory.
