Took advantage of a stretch of near perfect weather to ride a few trails in the Clarion, PA area. I ride here every couple of years to do a few of my favorite tunnels.
The Rockland Tunnel:
The Kennerdell Tunnel, the longest on this trip at 3350'
The Long Point Tunnel, one of my faves, since it's a hard rock tunnel, blasted out of solid rock with no lining.
The Brady Tunnel, which has come a long way since it was rehabbed in 2024
Not much foliage color left, but I did see some wildlife. Encountered a bear on the Knox & Kane Trail:
A wild Turkey
And a giant frog that leaped out of the way just in time
Got chased by this dog, who was pissed since someone took his bone!
A couple of good shots of the Allegheny River, Just south of Brady, PA.
Two years ago when I was here last, I rode a 24 mile stretch on the Armstrong Trail. I counted 12 conventional bikes and just one e-bike. This time, riding the same stretch, I counted 14 and they were ALL e-bikes!

Bears, eh? What happens if you encounter a bear in a tunnel? Can you outrun a bear on an ebike? AI suggests probably not with a legal ebike.
"Yes, officer, I know that my Surron's illegal here, but I'm not taking any chances with tunnel bears."

You don't have to out run a bear, just the person you're with.

Beautiful. My folks liked to go up to eat on the deck at the Allegheny Inn in Foxboro about this time of year and enjoy the leaves and scenery.
Today we rode the Tunnel Hill State Trail. We started from our campsite which is 100 yards from the start in Karnak , Illinois
We did 22 miles up and 22 back, great day for a ride. Saw deer and snake (not sure what kind) I will usually move them off the trail but DW was ahead of me so I kept riding.
Took a few pics which I usually forget too....I didn't get one of the tunnel. Lol
We are staying at the Main Brothers Campground in Karnak only 1 other camper here.

Since we've got a tunnel theme going, here are a couple of interesting ones from a ride I did last month on the GAP and C&O Canal trails:
This one is the Brush Tunnel, where the GAP trail shares the tunnel with the tracks of the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad. Note the oncoming steam locomotive about to enter the far end of the tunnel in the first pic. Not pleasant to be inside when the train passes through!
The Paw Paw Tunnel on the C&O Canal Trail is one of only a few places where a canal and trail pass through a tunnel:

Currently at the Downtown Riverside RV Park in Little Rock. Today we rode the Arkansas River Trail, did about 30 miles. Stopped for a beer and some apps before returning back to the camper.
We have rode this trail several times in the past and it never disappoints.
This is our 1st stop before we get to my inlaws, they have an RV site at the house for us, and a list of projects for me. LOL

Is that big square thing in the middle of the frame the battery? The reason I ask is because it reminds me of a box of wine.

Little ride here in Hood River, OR, did a mixed surface ride out the Historic Columbia River hwy and back via gravel on old Hood River rd.
3 gate crossings makes you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere even though I'm about 6 miles from home as the crow flies.
