2.5 of us did an Oktoberfest overnight ride. Forecast was for 70% chance of showers... we gambled and only experience a slight sprinkle or two.

The Allegheny National Forest (ANF) in north west PA is relatively flat and crisscrossed with all sorts of gas/oil well roads.


Pump jack and storage tank

Beech trees are showing there stuff

More beech

Me, the dumbass wearing a brown shirt in deer season (archery/muzzleloader)


Bell's Butcher shop in Kane, PA... authentic and all about meat. Had to research what Korv is.

The minimal haul

The forest is always absorbing the old forest roads

Oktoberfest: Beer, sauerkraut, pork, kielbasa, spratzel, pumpkin cookies



The 1/2 rider... ruthSLP backpacked in without a bike.

Hopefully the season holds a few more overnighters in it.
