Benezette Take two

Seems this is turning into a yearly post. Took a day trip into our mountains here in PA yesterday with the wife to see if we could dig out some new trails trails in an area I've been traveling to since 1970 when my Dad & his buddies bought a hunting camp nearby in Medix Run, Pa. (I was only 7 so I 'ain't that old dammit!). Strange as it sounds I've never used a map to navigate in the area because "I know where everything is". Well, that turned out to be bullshit because we found a TON of new places using the Pocket Earth app on my in-dash I-pad and GPS antenna. We found trails we didn't know even existed. We started out in the Moshannon State Forest on gravel and dirt roads and using the app, found side trails and dirt paths on the map that you'd never think to even try. There's also a ton of wildlife in the area and we ended up in Benezette with all of the tourists to see the Elk .

That looks pretty sweet! Fall in the northeast is the best time of the year.

And I need to bring a rifle back there with me and fill my freezer. Those are some biggin’s.

Thanks! Yeah, Fall's the best. Was surprised that the leaves were still as green as they were though. Probably peak in a couple weeks.

There's a couple campgrounds right in Benezette. Both were pretty packed. Really not that far of a trip either. Your kids would really enjoy the visitors center. They have a room full of stuffed native animals & a lot of other activities. Definitely worth a day trip. :thumb:
