Photos from Michaux SF Pennsylvania

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. :)

Prometheus Joe tells a great story and takes an AMAZING photo. FEAST YOUR EYES:

Trust me Jax you got the goods here. Nice ride nice pics. Just sent you the answer to your reference on the bottom of you post!

Never knew that park was there. Easy day trip for me, thanks for the heads up.

It is relatively new to me too. It's the closest PA SF to me in Baltimore. I lived next to Rothrock for a long time, and between that and Bald Eagle I got plenty of forest road riding.



to the folks who posted: Thank you for the kind comments!
to the folks who didn't post: Thank y'all for not making fun of my photography skills!
I have a few pictures from last spring that I'll post today. Enjoy.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing

What a nice country!!! Really beautiful places to ride.

Take care,
Beltran

Thanks Beltran.

As promised a few shots of Michaux from early last spring.







Post production GONE MADDDDD for Halloween.


The bugs on my windshield are from my trip to the Low Country of South Carolina.

Jax, Great photos!!!! Used to live in Mechanicsburg and would spend many weekends in the Michaux S.F. / Pine Grove Forest area, climbing up the back side of Pole Steeple for great views of the Cumberland Valley. Thanks for bringing back memories!!

Thanks, My pleasure I assure you.
Yeh man. That is the shit. down there close to where Michaux ends at Mt Holly Springs. Ridge is the good stuff. I go in right off 16 and come out up at MHS, and generally get lost along the way...Or I'm following someone (code) who gets lost wouldn't be the same without it.

Enjoy:

Nice trip Jack. Is this where you got off to after the Lighthouse Tour?
Look'n forward to the "Cold Weather Ride-N-Eat".
Tom

Thanks Tom,
Nah that was a honey do Sunday:) I owed her bigtime. The first set of photos are from last week.

I have to start thinking about the next ride to eat.... Hmmmmmmmmm

wow nice, never knew about that park in PA. do you have any gps tracks or recommended routes?

Nice shots Jack.

MSF has one other feature that's almost gotten me in trouble a coupla times. Come hauling butt around a corner on a paved road and have it turn to gravel halfway through. On the FJR with PR2 tires, those are a real bun clencher.

:eek1

Looking forward to the next ride to eat!

Hi.
I usually go in just off hwy 16 on the southern part and come out on Ridge in the northern. The way I get from A to B is different every time, I enjoy getting lost.

Thanks Wreck,

I'll let you know when I plan the next RTE! Hope you are in town.

Very nice!

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.

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.

Ok I know I'm beating a dead horse, but here goes.

These photos were taken yesterday, 2 weeks after the first group.

I really am one of the luckiest human beings who has ever lived, predictable too.















I'm a sucker for these shots:






This bike has treated me really well.... Thanks bike.
