Photos from Michaux SF Pennsylvania

JaxObsessed · 10-29-2010, 08:57 AM

Pennsylvania State Forests are GREAT places to ride!!!, I've been doing so since 1975.

Michaux State Forest (pronounced Me- sho) is in south central Pennsylvania. I grew up on roads like this. I get back here as often as I can/

An excellent informational post from towpro:

First sight of the mountains:

I am one of the luckiest people who has ever been born.

Yup, I am a lucky human being.
Enjoy the thread. :)

At least the temps are to get into the 40's over the next 10 days, so hopefully it will melt quickly.

UGH.... yeh.. similar down here...
100% chance of freezing rain today.... bigass green/blue blob headed our way.

JaxObsessed · 11-10-2010, 02:36 PM

Thanks HBN.

I am going back to Michaux State Forest on Friday. If I get any interest in seeing more pictures from there, I'll post em up right here. I have mapped out the vistas.

? Lemme know/tell me to shut up, sup to you.

Ovoidious · 11-10-2010, 05:56 PM

Jax if you get around to doing this on a weekend, let me know I would like to tag along with ya, if you dont mind the company. I need to get a few more rides in before the weather changes for the worse.

BTW - This pics keep them coming.

This was my second time ever going to Michaux. I started at Rattlesnake run road and drove northward. Last Weekend I did it in my Jeep with my son. This week I went solo on the 950Adv. It was almost clear of ice and snow. (Almost). it was a little tricky in a few spots but the knobbies helped out.
Here are some pics
