In case nobody has seen yet, we’re changing the Rigs and Coffee to a more adventurous pace. More like Adventure, Rigs, and Coffee.

I did see, and such an awesome idea. I did my first two trail rides this past year and had both with a meetup within the state Forest.
Fun fact: I noticed the new format for rigs and coffee to coordinates and coffee as I was scouting a place for meetups. Most of the people in CPAO are from the southeast...so I was trying to figure a meetup. Which just happens to be exactly the opposite of the trend...lol.
I found a Sheetz that literally is almost equal distance to Rothrock, Bald Eagle and Tuscarora. The idea being, have the meetup at the Sheetz. If too many people show up we have the opportunity to head 3 different directions.
The blue navigation dot shows the Sheetz.
I really hope to get to one or more of the coordinates and coffee.
Not much activity here anymore.
I am still out adventuring as often as I can.
Did some scouting this past weekend. Drew some lines on paper maps using Avenza and my RAM.
What has everyone been up to?

Looks like I'm late to the party in PA. Just joined up from Bedford County. I've been out to camp in Tuscarora but looks like there's some nice trails in Bald Eagle. I'm soaking in all the info from these posts, so much to learn.
I see you're in Altoona, ever make it down to Gallitzin State Forest? A year or so ago I jumped in with a Jeep club ride from Portage through Blue Knob up to 3 state vista.

Yes. I have been to Gallitzin many times. It however is one of 2 of the state forests that do not offer motorized camping.
Blue Knob is one of my favorite State parks.
Lots for great Forest roads and vistas in Gallitzin State Forest.
If it is the jeep ride I am thinking about, I work with the guy who put it on.
If your from Bedford... Buchanan is the forest area that would be closest to you. I love Buchanan. Ever since Bald Eagle and Rothrock got so busy, we go there often and regularly!
Haven't posted much here lately. Curious how everyone's 2024 went and any big Plans for Pennsylvania Overlanding for 2025.
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 National Forest will be involved in this mapapaloza.
I got big plans to completely immerse myself in Sproul, Elk ANF Susquehannock this summer. I will definitely be spending a good portion of time the the ANF.
Making plans to continue with our base camp Overlanding style or go to a full on vehicle based adventure machine.
We got ice in the hills right now...so always proceed with caution and care.
Hoping to spend some more time making YouTube videos and seeing some lesser seen places in the great State of Pennsylvania!
