Purple Lizard Maps is starting on the remainder of the PA Wilds. Scuttlebutt says Susquehannock State Forest will be first, and the big endeavor to map the Allegheny...
Not sure what context I said about the forest.
Yes. 2.5 hours is a minimum. It is going to be longer than that.
Those two routes should be exactly the same now as then.
A few of my routes do have changes as they completely changed Rt 322. But I explain that in one of my threads.
Depending...

Forest camping in Tuscarora to get us closer to Carlisle All Trucks Nationals.
I know most like to use jeeps and RTT, But man is the Crew Cab Long Bed so great for family tent camping trips.
And we look so unassuming, like we are just construction guys getting home. No one ever knows what we...
I mentioned in my post that the very first thing I did was look at the legend for 4x4 HC roads and there are none.
That said, they do open roads in hunting season and with an active weather event, your rig could be tested.
If you are looking for more advanced off road trails in a State Forest...
Not much activity here anymore.
I am still out adventuring as often as I can.

If you are in the book of faces, check out...
