Pennsylvania: Allegheny National Forrest (6/10-6/13/20)

 Our beautiful, large, shady, free campsite that just happened to be right next to this epic single track
mountain bike trail Jakes Rocks. We biked the 4.8 mile loop: Tuttletown to Coal Knob to Longhouse.
It was such a happy, peaceful place we decided to stay 2 nights. (6/10-6/11/20)

 We found another happy place- free site along the creek to the Tionesta River.

 We biked ~.8 mi to Minister Creek Trailhead, and hiked the 2 mile Middle Loop.

 Cool formations on the way down the Middle Loop.

 Hiked an easy 1 mile interpretive trail though the old growth forrest.
Some of these trees were 300-400 years old!


 Tree buddies
 Some serious mushrooms!
