Pine Creek Trail

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

What a glorious weekend spent with my most favorite person in the whole world, RGBisMe. We packed up our bikes and went north to bike on the Pine Creek Trail. It's a 54 mile rail trail between Ansonia and Jersey Shore. We only did small sections of it but what we did was terrific. We also stopped at to view PA Grand Canyon near Wellsboro (photo above) and were able to see the rafts and kayaks that were floating down Pine Creek all day long.

We biked most of the northern section starting at the Darling Run access. Most of the rafters early in the day seemed cheery and waved to us as they floated by. We were able to find a couple of letterboxes and RGBisMe almost pocketed one of the stamps for keeps. We had to take it back when we found what had happened.

Later in the day found us near the Rattlesnake Rock access. After hiking a small section of the West Rim Trail we enjoyed lunch there and found a few more letterboxes. I won't print the pictures from the restroom but let me say it had some of the funniest graffiti.

By the end of the day, we had made it as far south as Cedar Run and Hilborn. We loved this section and ran into a couple of nice fellows who showed us where they had seen an otter family playing last year! Upon returning to the car, RGBisMe read the menu outside of the Cedar Run Inn. They had a wonderful vegetarian entrée! We dined there and drove home talking and scheming about biking the entire length someday. Join us? We snagged 8 letterboxes along the way and planted one.

  1. I feel like a voyeur, secretly watching the life of True Indigo and RGBisMe! It almost feels like a crime!
    I love the Pine Creek area and had at one time spent quite a bit of time there. Bicycling, though, is not my thing. I admire that you two do so much traveling my bike but I will have to stick to the slower method and just walk. Love the pictures.

  2. Yay! I am glad someone reads this Blog! Like the letterbox I listed below (the one with the really odd name), I can't find a way to post everything I do on the letterboxing pages. Glad you are checking here.

  3. Yes, about that letterbox with the really odd name....I guess you aren't giving ANYTHING away about it, are you?
